Trina Photo voltaic mentioned it has achieved a brand new report effectivity of 24.5% for 210mm p-type monocrystalline silicon PERC cells.
Achieved because of applied sciences together with multi-layer anti-reflection and ultra-fine metallisation, the milestone represents the 24th time Trina has set the brand new report, based on the corporate.
“We’re proud to announce the most recent achievements developed by our technical crew,” mentioned Yifeng Chen, head of Trina Photo voltaic’s high-efficiency cell and module R&D centre. “We’re devoted to creating steady R&D funding within the expertise of mass manufacturing.”
Independently confirmed by the Nationwide Institute of Metrology of China, the brand new report surpasses the 23.56% effectivity Trina achieved for mass manufacturing of 210mm p-type monocrystalline silicon PERC cells final yr.
The corporate started building final month on a brand new industrial park within the Chinese language province of Qinghai that can produce silicon, high-purity polysilicon, monosilicon, wafers, cells and modules.
Different current photo voltaic information embrace LONGi setting a conversion effectivity of 26.5% for silicon heterojunction cells whereas researchers in Switzerland final week reached a 31.25% conversion effectivity for perovskite-on-silicon cells.
