Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) created a solar cell with a record 39.5% efficiency under 1-sun global illumination. This is the ...

A new record of 20.6% held by KRICT/UniTest is displayed in the right section of the chart, ranking first in the large-area cell (200 cm²) category for perovskite solar cells.

Date: May 24, 2022 Source: DOE/National Renewable Energy Laboratory Summary: Researchers have created a solar cell with a record 39.5 percent efficiency under 1-sun global illumination.

The new cell has an efficiency of 39.5%, up from the previous record of 39.2% efficiency, which was previously set by NREL researchers as well in 2020.

NREL has not quantified a dollars-per-watt price for its record cell, but in 2018 the national lab estimated manufacturing costs for III-V cells ranged from $40 to $100 per watt.

A collaborative effort between NREL and CubicPV has yielded a perovskite minimodule that has achieved 24.0% certified efficiency. This marks the first time a U.S. effort has set a record in the ...

His research is on developing low cost, solution processed photovoltaic technologies specifically by manipulating growth, materials chemistry, electronic coupling using colloidal nanocrystals, and ...
