Qcells says technology breakthrough could reduce space needed for solar panels

Breakthrough in Solar Technology: Qcells has achieved a world record efficiency of 28.6% for large-area silicon solar cells using perovskite materials, which could significantly reduce the space and costs associated with solar power installations.

Industry Competition and Future Testing: The advancement positions Qcells competitively against other manufacturers like China's Longi and Britain's Oxford PV, but the new technology still requires extensive field testing to confirm its reliability before widespread adoption.
