In 2024, a Chinese solar cell smashed an efficiency limit physicists once called unbeatable, turning 34.6% of sunlight into power by stacking a new crystal on silicon
Chinese solar maker Longi has certified a new solar cell prototype. This advanced cell reached an efficiency of 34.6 percent. It surpasses the theoretical limit for single-junction silicon cells. The new design stacks perovskite on silicon to capture more light. Commercial-sized panels show lower but still improved efficiency figures.
