Researchers Set New World Record for CIGS Solar Cell Efficiency
One target in solar cell research is to attain more than 30 per cent efficiency with reasonable production costs. The focus is very often on tandem solar cells, as being more efficient, but so far they have been too costly for large-scale use. The world record of 23.64 per cent has been measured by the independent institute Fraunhofer ISE in Germany. The …
