New Solar Cell Process Achieves Record Efficiency, MIT Says

2013-04-19 18:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Yale Environment 360: Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) say they have achieved a major breakthrough in the conversion of sunlight into electricity, surpassing what was long believed to be an absolute limit to the efficiency of solar cell devices. While the process used in the typical photovoltaic (PV) cell process knocks loose one electron inside the PV material to produce an electrical current -- but wastes any excess energy carried by a photon -- a new process described in the journal Science...
