UNSW claims 25 percent solar cell efficiency title
The UNSW ARC Photovoltaic Centre of Excellence already held the world record of 24.7 per cent for silicon solar cell efficiency. Now a revision of the international standard by which solar cells are measured [done by the International Electrochemical Commission in April], has delivered the significant 25 per cent record to the team led by Professors Martin Green and Stuart Wenham (...) The world-record holding cell was fabricated by former Centre researchers, Dr Jianhua Zhao and Dr Aihua Wang, who have since left the Centre to establish China Sunergy.
