Panasonic's HIT solar cell hits record 25.6 percent conversion efficiency
• http://www.gizmag.com, By Darren QuickHowever, Panasonic says the latest achievement is also an improvement over the previous record of 25 percent for small area crystalline silicon-based solar cells accomplished on solar cells measuring 4 cm2 (0.6 in2). This is still short of the efficiencies seen in multi-junction solar cells and concentrator triple-junction compound solar cells that have reached conversion efficiencies of 38.8 percent and 44.4 percent, respectively.
