The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory set a new solar cell efficiency record of 39.5%.
This was accomplished under similar lighting conditions to the sun, which is a stark change from the last world record. Earlier experimental solar cells showed top efficiency rates of 47.1% in 2019, but that was only when exposed to an extremely concentrated light.
This isn’t just more hype, but a sign of where solar panel technology stands today and where it’s heading in the near future.
However, this isn’t the only big solar panel news in 2022. There’s been a lot of very recent advancements from perovskites to organic solar cells too, so what does this mean for the industry and customers?
