Oxford claims the world record for solar panel efficiency

Oxford PV, a spin-off from the University of Oxford, says it’s achieved the world record for the most efficient solar panel.


In collaboration with Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems, the company says its solar panel achieved 25% conversion efficiency – the percentage of solar energy shining on a panel converted into electricity. That’s a big deal compared to the more typical 16-24% in commercial solar panels.

So 700W sized panels may end up at the 1000W level.

Interesting that these panels were built on a real PV assembly line, not some finely tuned 4" x 4" sample on a lab bench, a real 1.68 sqm panel.
Even more interesting they are saying production is not very far down the road.
