(Phys.org)—In a new study,scientists have reported a world record stabilized efficiency of 13.6% for a triple-junction lean-film silicon solar cell, which is a newer version of the single-junction lean-film silicon solar cell that has been used in commercial products since the 1970s. This value edges out the preceding record of 13.44%, and the researchers expect that a few fair improvements will push it above 14%.
