Sharp Develops Solar Cell with The Best Conversion Rates in The World

Sharp has succeeded in a photoelectric cell can convert 35.8% of the energy collection of solar energy, a world full recorder complete, because these cells are the average of 15-20%. Instead of silicon, as most are today, the current use of the photo-absorption layer consists of elements such as indium and gallium. To improve performance, crystallization improved alignment of the volumes of individual layers. Despite significant progress, because now, not been granted, if for any other purpose other than aerospace engineering.
