World's first 15%-efficient multicrystalline silicon modules
This paper describes the result of a team effort at Sandia to demonstrate the near-term performance potential for multicrystalline silicon modules using commercial mc-Si material and improved cell fabrication processes. Large-area high-performance mc-Si cells were fabricated, prototype modules were built, and world-record module efficiency was confirmed by outdoor testing at over 15% for standard test conditions.
