The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), CSEM and EPFL have taken an important symbolic step forward. Working together, they were able to demonstrate the high potential of silicon-based multijunction solar cells: they raised the one-sun record conversion efficiency of III–V/Si solar cells to 32.8 percent for two junctions and 35.9 percent for three junctions. These achievements are a world first in the highly competitive race to improve silicon-based sol...
