Shell Solar announced it achieved a record level of efficiency of 13.5% for its thin film PV solar technology.
The results were verified by third party auditor, the TUV Rheinland Group in Cologne, Germany.
Thin-film is widely believed to be an important solution to bring down costs for solar energy – until now, the trade-off has been in its lower efficiency. Shell’s achievement points to the possibility that thin-film may be able to perform at similar levels of efficiency to today’s crystalline silicon solar products.
