Support CleanTechnica's work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. Beyond Silicon, Caelux, First Solar, Hanwha Q Cells, Oxford PV, Swift Solar, Tandem PV 3 to 5 years In November 2023, a buzzy solar technology broke yet another world. Researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney have developed a solar cell technology that could lead to higher-efficiency silicon photovoltaics. The team has devised a new method with the potential to increase solar panel efficiency to over 30%, a notable improvement on the. University of New South Wales researchers have filed patent protection and are working to scale production of a new class of photostable organic molecules proven to boost silicon solar cell efficiency, reduce heat and extend panel lifetimes using singlet fission. The use of singlet fission. On November 10, 2025, Nature online published significant progress in silicon-based tandem solar cell research by a team jointly formed by LONGi, Soochow University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, and other institutions. Recent solar efficiency advancements have achieved conversion rates exceeding 47% in multi-junction cells, marking a.
