Researchers have made a breakthrough with a so-called miracle material to break the efficiency record for solar panel electricity generation.
A team from the Chinese solar technology firm Longi set a new world record of 33.9 per cent for a silicon-perovskite tandem solar cell, breaking the previous record set in May this year by King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia.
The new efficiency record also broke the theoretical limit of 33.7 per cent for the first time of standard single junction cells, which are found in commercial solar panels.
“This provides meaningful empirical data to demonstrate the advantage of crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem solar cells over crystalline silicon single junction solar cells in terms of efficiency,” the company noted in a statement.
“The emergence of crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem technology has opened up a new track for the development of next-generation high-efficiency solar cell technology. This means that the same area, absorbing the same light, can emit more electricity.

The new world record for solar panel efficiency set by Longi is a game-changer, especially considering how solar energy https://solarsmart.ie/solar-panels-cork/ has been steadily advancing.
What’s also interesting is how this could lead to more accessible and widespread use of solar energy in both residential and commercial applications. If you’re looking for ways to integrate solar energy into your life or business, there are several resources and tools out there that can help make the transition smoother.
