World record solar cell efficiency

Qcells has revolutionized solar technology with their latest innovation. Their new tandem solar cell, boasting a remarkable 28.6% efficiency, combines perovskite and silicon. This means we can generate more power from fewer panels. Qcells' groundbreaking work has been confirmed by a leading German research institution. Solar energy is poised to become the clean and sustainable energy source of the future.
Qcells record of 28.6 percent efficiency is for an M10-sized cell produced at its Germany facility using a standard silicon wafer. Roughly, an M10-sized cell covers an area of 51 square inches (330.56 sq cm). The record feat is special since the cell design is easy to scale and mass-produced.
Commercially deployed silicon-based photovoltaic cells are already close to the theoretical maximum energy conversion efficiency of 29 percent. This means that even with the best silicon-based solar cell, we are not converting over 70 percent of the solar energy received at a solar power plant. #solarenergy #qcells
