Australian engineers edge closer to the theoretical limits of sunlight-to-electricity conversion

Australian engineers edge closer to the theoretical limits of sunlight-to-electricity conversion Sydney, Australia (SPX) May 18, 2016 - A new solar cell configuration developed by engineers at the University of New South Wales in Sydney has pushed sunlight-to-electricity conversion efficiency to 34.5% - establishing a new world record for unfocussed sunlight and nudging closer to the theoretical limits for such a device. The record was set by Dr Mark Keevers and Professor Martin Green, Senior Research Fellow and Director, ... more
