The conversion efficiency of solar cells recently produced using III-V semiconductors have reached highly impressive rates. German scientists have now also developed group III-V silicon tandem solar cells with a conversion efficiency of 35.9%. At this rate, it is clear that this kind of solar technology has the greatest potential to break the 50% conversion threshold. ...  more

Pristine Silicon Solar Cell Built by Nanostructure to Exceed 26% in Conversion Efficiency

published 2021 年 05 月 10 日 9:30
Solar energy has become a relatively competitive source of power generation, though an improvement on the existing technology and a further elevation in the conversion efficiency is certainly a good thing. German scientists have recently integrated a nanostructure with a solar cell that is completely different in design to produce a solar cell that may achieve a conversion efficiency of 26%. ...  more
