Chinese solar panel manufacturer LONGi announced that it has reached an efficiency of 26.81% for its HJT silicon solar cells on full-size silicon wafers through mass production. The record was confirmed by the Institute for Solar Energy Research in Hamelin (ISFH).
“Improving efficiency and reducing LCOE (levelized cost of energy) is the eternal theme of the development of the photovoltaic industry. Solar cell efficiency is the beacon of photovoltaic technology innovation. Every 0.01% improvement -improvement of solar cell conversion efficiency requires a lot of efforts. In particular, crystalline silicon solar cells account for almost 95% of the current photovoltaic market, so the final efficiency of solar cells that Crystal silicon also shows the development potential and direction of the photovoltaic industry, which is very important to the entire photovoltaic industry,” said Li Zhenguo, founder and president of LONGi.
LONGi previously announced a milestone of 25.47% efficiency for these cells in March 2022.
