A concentrator triple-junction compound solar cell,
. . . 44.4% conversion efficiency in only 4mm x 4mm!
Previously, these types of high-efficiency solar cells have only been used on space satellites,
. . . but with each record it breaks, Sharp hopes to be inching toward a time
. . . when they can help us sever our ties to fossil fuels here on Earth as well.
