Scientists were able to set a new record efficiency solar panels

CPVMatch research group funded by the European Union and managed by the German Institute for Energy senechnoy Fraunhofer Society, set a new record for conversion efficiency of solar energy into electricity with solar batteries.

Now record efficiency for silicon solar panels makes the whole 41 %.

Until now, scientists could not get a connection that would have a 100% convert sunlight into electricity. But on this issue we are fighting many scientists around the world since 2000.

But year after year, scientists are approaching the task. Since the previous record was set by groups of scientists from Australia in 2006, they did a device that converts 35% solar energy into electricity.

But as the German scientists were able to surpass this figure due to the creation of a new solar cell CPV, which showed 41.4% effectiveness.

And all thanks to the fact that a team of researchers used a special achromatic lenses that are, figuratively speaking, "catch Light, "then passed through a concentrated and directed beam of photons at ultra low multipath Photoelectric elements.

Unfortunately, the report does not disclose the material of which the lenses are made directly and photocells (as spoken trade secret).

Of course such a high efficiency - this is just great, but first you need to also introduce the technology obtained in the laboratory to mass production and if and only if it will be possible to say that the work done was not meaningless scientists and technologies of alternative energy sources developed.

And there will come a time when the electricity from the solar panels will be cheaper than electricity from coal-fired power plants, and their effectiveness will be close to 100%
