Sanyo Develops World’s Highest Energy Conversion Efficiency HIT Solar Cells

December 31st, 1969 | Category: Tech Talk


Sanyo announced today that it has broken its own record for the world’s highest energy conversion efficiency in practical size (100 cm2 or more) crystalline silicon-type solar cells, achieving a efficiency of 23.0% (until now 22.3%) at a research level for its proprietary HIT solar photovoltaic cells.

The increase in the solar cell conversion efficiency that date is accompanied by significant advances in lowering the production cost of the photovoltaic system and the reduction in the use of raw materials such as silicon.

that achievement by Ssnyo represents […]
