Sydney, Australia (SPX) Sep 17, 2024

A research team led by Prof. XU Jixian from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has set a new global standard for solar cell technology. As of July 3rd, the Solar Cell Efficiency Tables (Version 64) announced that Professor Xu's team achieved a certified stable efficiency of 26.7% for their perovskite solar cell, marking a significant milestone.

"The Solar Cell Efficiency Tables, published jointly by the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics alongside scientists from the United States, Japan, Italy, and other countries, has a nearly 30-year history. Its objective assessment of solar cell efficiencies is widely recognized in the international photovoltaic academic and industrial communities."

This achievement by Prof. Xu's team marks the third year in a row that they have raised the bar for perovskite solar cell efficiency. In 2022 (Version 60) and 2023 (Version 63), the team also set world records. In 2023, they attained a certified efficiency of 26.1%, surpassing 26% for their inverted perovskite solar cell and overtaking conventional solar cells in the process. These continued advancements underscore the team's dedication to pushing the limits of photovoltaic innovation. Their latest success not only represents a significant advance in solar cell technology but also strengthens the development of tandem solar cells.

The inclusion of USTC's achievement in the Solar Cell Efficiency Tables emphasizes the university's leadership in photovoltaic research. This breakthrough is expected to catalyze further technological advancements in the renewable energy sector, contributing to the global shift toward sustainable energy solutions.

Solar and Farming Can Work Together
London, UK (SPX) Sep 17, 2024
Researchers at Swansea University have developed a new tool to help find the best photovoltaic (PV) materials to support both solar energy generation and crop growth. In a new study published in 'Solar RRL', scientists from the Department of Physics explored how semi-transparent PV materials, used in agrivoltaics (combining solar panels with farming), impact crops. Their research is aimed at optimizing the balance between food production and solar power generation. The team introduced a free ... read more
