Osaka, Japan <\/b>\u2013 Panasonic Corporation announced that it has achieved a conversion efficiency of 25.6% (cell area*3: 143.7 cm2) in its HIT<\/b>\u00ae <\/b>solar cells<\/b> at a research level, a major increase over the previous world record for crystalline silicon-based solar cells<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The new record is 0.9 points higher than the previous one of 24.7% always of Panasonic and the first to break through the 25% barrier for practical size cells.<\/p>\n

The achievement of this new record was made possible by further development of Panasonic\u2019s proprietary heterojunction technology<\/b> to realize the high conversion efficiency<\/b> and superior high temperature properties of the company\u2019s HIT solar cells. Furthermore adopting a back-contact solar cell structure, with the electrodes on the back of the solar cell, allows the more efficient utilization of sunlight.<\/p>\n

Panasonic Corporation<\/b> is a worldwide leader in the development and engineering of electronic technologies and solutions for its customers, striving to create a better life<\/b> and a better world<\/b> for its customers. http:\/\/eu-solar.panasonic.net\/en\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The Panasonic panels<\/b> are available in VP Solar<\/a>, the most important Italian and European photovoltaic distributor<\/b> that since 1999 has been dealing with energy systems<\/b> from renewable sources and with energy efficiency<\/b>. Resellers and installers can ask the Team VP Solar<\/a> for an offer.<\/p>\n
