SunPower硅基组件效率再创记录达24.1%

SunPower has again set a new solar power panel efficiency record, as validated by the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). SunPower has reached 24.1 percent efficiency – surpassing the previous world record for the highest efficiency of a solar panel using silicon cells.

"With greater efficiency, we can fit more watts on the roof with the outstanding reliability of the SunPower X-Series solar panel," said Peter Cousins, SunPower senior vice president, research, development and deployment. "SunPower's world record efficiency panels offer customers the best value for energy and superior aesthetics due to our unique architecture."

"SunPower's X-Series panel was tested by our lab under standard test or reporting conditions," said NREL scientist Keith Emery, manager of the PV cell and module performance laboratory. "The module measured 11310.1 cm2 (aperture area) and had a power of 272.5 Watts. We recorded 24.1 percent efficiency, which is a new record for silicon module efficiency."
