Solar power generation efficiency ranking table

How many new solar cell efficiency tables are there?

There are 19 new results reported in the new version. The international research group led by Professor Martin Green from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) has published Version 64 of the “ solar cell efficiency tables ” in Progress in Photovoltaics. The scientists said they have added 19 new results to the new tables since December.

What are the most efficient solar panels?

In the table below you can see a quick comparison of the most efficient solar panels currently available, as you can see, the difference between them is negligible. The Maxeon range is one of the latest solar panels ranges offered by leading solar panel brand SunPower.

Which solar cells are the most efficient?

The list also includes a 25.6%-efficient large-area n-type TOPCon cell fabricated by JA Solar, a 26.8%-efficient large-area n-type silicon cell fabricated by Longi, and the 24.9% efficiency that Singapore-based Maxeon reached for its IBC solar module.

How long does a solar cell efficiency table take?

The whole cycle from e-mail to online publication takes about 6 weeks. The regularly updated Solar Cell Efficiency Tables have been successful in providing a ready reference to recent developments and in encouraging and facilitating independent confirmation of notable solar cell results.

Which Yingli solar panel is most efficient?

Yingli Solar’s YLM GG 120 Cell is the most efficient panel offered by the brand, with a rating of 22.5%. Yingli Solar panels are only 0.3% less efficient than the leading Maxeon 6 AC panel. However, the company offers a very competitive price for their panels.

What is a 'peak rating' of a solar cell?

Measurements are carried out at a light intensity of 1,000 W m −2 and at 25 o C cell temperature. In reality, field intensity will seldom be this high or cell temperature this low, so the solar cell output under these favourable conditions is labelled ‘peak rating’.
