NREL maintains a chart of the highest confirmed conversion efficiencies for research cells for a range of photovoltaic technologies, plotted from 1976 to the present. Learn how NREL can help your team with certified efficiency measurements. Access our research-cell efficiency data. Download Chart.
The chart displays record research cell efficiencies for five major technologies: crystalline silicon cells, single-junction gallium arsenide cells, multijunction cells, thin films, and emerging PV.
An output from the new, interactive chart shows the development of two types of silicon solar cells (in blue), which are the most widely deployed PV technology today, and of perovskite solar cells (in orange), a newer PV technology that is just beginning to be commercialized.
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) created a solar cell with a record 39.5% efficiency under 1-sun global illumination. This is the highest efficiency solar cell of any type, measured using standard 1-sun conditions.
Consolidated tables showing an extensive listing of the highest independently confirmed efficiencies for solar cells and modules are presented. Guidelines for inclusion of results into these tables are outlined, and new entries since June 2020 are reviewed.
Consolidated tables showing an extensive listing of the highest independently confirmed efficiencies for solar cells and modules are presented. Guidelines for inclusion of results into these tables are outlined and new entries since July 2023 are reviewed.
• The month and year that the photovoltaic cell’s efficiency was measured by the accredited test centers (which can be weeks after the sample was originally fabricated). • The complete measurement process can take a few weeks.
Photovoltaic research is more than just making a high-efficiency, low-cost solar cell. Homeowners and businesses must be confident that the solar panels they install will not degrade in performance and will continue to reliably generate electricity for many years.
Restructuring the way perovskite solar cells are designed can boost their efficiency and increase their deployment in buildings and beyond, according to researchers with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) maintains a plot of compiled values of highest confirmed conversion efficiencies for research cells, from 1976 to the present, for a range of photovoltaic technologies.
