IMEC opens door for record-breaking solar cellsAn Electronics Weekly article reports that Belgian researchers IMEC have taken another step towards mechanically-stacked triple junction solar cells, which are expected to eventually become the most efficient available. The article says: In a triple junction cell, each junction is tuned to absorb a different part of the solar spectrum, with the upper layers designed to be transparent to wavelengths absorbed in the lower layers. This broad coverage of the spectrum is why high efficiencies are obtained. This is the first promising demonstrator of IMEC stacking technology, which it predicts will produce cells with efficiencies above 40%.
