Chinese solar panel manufacturer LONGi announced 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 the efficiency and reducing the LCOE (levelized cost of energy) is the eternal theme of the development of photovoltaic industry. Solar cell efficiency is the beacon of photovoltaic technology innovation. Every 0.01% improvement in solar cell conversion efficiency requires enormous efforts. In particular, crystalline silicon solar cells account for nearly 95% of the current photovoltaic market, so the ultimate efficiency of crystalline silicon solar cells also shows the development potential and direction of the photovoltaic industry, which is of great significance in 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.
