LONGi Solar attains 23.6% efficiency for PERC solar cells

Chinese manufacturer LONGi Solar asserted that it had achieved a 23.6% efficiency with its monocrystalline passivated emitter rear contact (PERC) solar cells, as certified by China’s National Center of Supervision and Inspection on Solar Photovoltaic Product Quality (CPVT). The solar cell manufacturer not only broke its own record, but continues to be the world’s leading producer of monocrystalline PERC solar cells with the highest efficiency.

Dr. Li Hua, vice president of research and development at LONGi Solar said ” The company achieved a new world record of 23.6% in efficiency at the beginning of 2018, after having announced on October 27, 2017 that it had reached a world record of 23.26%, exceeding the highest efficiency that industry analysts believe PERC cells can achieve. This achievement is another testament to LONGi Solar’s leading technology in monocrystalline cells.”
