JinkoSolar record holder for P-type monocrystalline cell efficiency

JinkoSolar?s unique light-capturing technology uses black silicon and the multi-layer ARC technology reduces the front side reflectivity of cells to be lower than 0.5 per cent, which ensures the growth of the short-circuit current. (Image source: JinkoSolar)

Chinese solar PV panel manufacturer JinkoSolar?s P-type monocrystalline cell broke the world record yet again with efficiency hitting 23.95 per cent during certification testing done by the Photovoltaic and Wind Power Systems Quality Test Center at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS)
