First Solar, declared it has set yet another world record for cadmium-telluride (CdTe) photovoltaic (PV) module conversion efficiency, achieving 18.6 percent aperture efficiency for an advanced full size module. For the first time ever, First Solar has demonstrated a record module that is more efficient than the best multi-crystalline module recorded.
This achievement reinforces confidence in First Solar’s ability to deliver sustained product improvements consistent with its long-term technology roadmap.
The record has been measured and certified by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
This 18.6 percent aperture area efficiency corresponds to a full area conversion efficiency of 18.2 percent, which easily beats the best recorded multi-crystalline Si PERC module with an approximate full area efficiency of 17.7% (based on 19.1% aperture efficiency and published module area data).
This achievement is the eighth substantial update to CdTe record efficiency since 2011, ongoing a disruptive and sustained trend of rapid performance improvements. In January, First Solar produced a research cell with 21.5 percent conversion efficiency, certified at the Newport Corporation’s Technology and Applications Center (TAC) PV Lab and confirmed by NREL.
First Solar, Inc. provides solar energy solutions worldwide. The company operates through two segments, Components and Systems. The Components segment designs, manufactures, and sells solar modules that convert sunlight into electricity.
