MicroLink Devices Achieves Certified 37.75% Solar Cell Power Conversion Efficiency
The 37.75% efficiency is the highest reported for a triple junction ELO solar cell produced on a 6-inch GaAs substrate production platform. The specific power of this ELO solar cell design exceeds 3000 W/kg under 1-sun AM0 spectrum, which is the world's record in comparison to any other solar cell technology.
