Researchers produce highest efficiency 1-sun solar cell
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) produced a solar cell with a record 39.5% performance under 1-sun global illumination. This is the highest possible effectiveness solar cell of any type, measured using typical 1-sun conditions.

Quantum wells allow record-efficiency two-junction solar cell
Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and also the University of New South Wales attained a new world-record performance for two-junction solar cells, producing a cell with two light-absorbing layers that transforms 32.9% of sunshine into electrical power.
