Effectiveness of flexible CIGS solar cells measured at record 21.4%.
A group of researchers at Empa has actually pushed the performance of flexible solar cells to a brand-new limitation. Independent measurements disclosed a performance of 21.4 percent when these sorts of solar cells transform light into electrical power. For comparison: the best performance of a non-flexible solar cell constructed from crystalline silicon is reported at 26.7 percent.
