Even though this idiotic Presidential administration is going backwards on renewable energy (though commendably pushing nuclear), when there's a significant improvement like this one, it's hard to ignore.
LONGi Announces Two New Global Solar Cell Efficiency Records"At SNEC 2025, LONGi’s crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem solar cell achieved a groundbreaking 33% efficiency on a large area of 260.9 cm² through material innovation and structural optimization. This marks a nearly 20% efficiency gain over single-junction silicon solar cells and represents the world’s first 33% efficiency milestone at mass-producible dimensions – paving a new path for reducing photovoltaic energy costs. Simultaneously, the 26% efficiency of its back-contact (BC) modules demonstrates LONGi’s profound expertise in this technology, propelling crystalline silicon module efficiency toward the 27% threshold."
"At 2025 SNEC, LONGi declares to the global community: Chinese PV enterprises* are reshaping the industry landscape with technological prowess, accelerating the zero-carbon future. "Over the past 25 years, PV technology has made clean energy the world’s most economical power source," Li declared on-site."
*Meanwhile, the USA is cutting back on research and innovation. That's a bad path we're on.
