World record for n-type polycrystalline solar cells, Canadian solar conversion efficiency 23.81%
Canadian Solar announced on March 12, 2020 that it has achieved a conversion efficiency of 23.81% for large-area n-type polycrystalline silicon solar cells and set a new world record. The German Institute for Solar Energy (ISFH) in Germany has tested and certified it.
The polycrystalline cell that recorded a conversion efficiency of 23.81% this time was manufactured using PASCon (passivation contact) technology using an n-type P5 (cast mono) silicon wafer with a surface area of 246.44 cm 2 and a surface area of 246.44 cm 2.
The company recommends the development of products using its own P5 technology, and in April 2019, it had a conversion efficiency of 22.28%, which was the world record at the time, and in September of the same year, achieved 22.80%, Keep updating records
