China sets new world record for solar cell efficiency

A Chinese research team has set a new world record for perovskite-organic tandem solar cells, achieving a certified 28.04 percent efficiency. These cells maintain 90 percent of their initial performance after over 600 hours of continuous light exposure. The technology is compatible with roll-to-roll printing, similar to newspaper production. AI
