Heliatek OPV Cell Sets New World Record
DRESDEN, Germany, Feb. 12, 2016 — R&D teams from organic flexible solar film manufacturer Heliatek GmbH reached a record conversion efficiency of 13.2 percent for an organic photovoltaic (OPV) multi-injection cell, setting a new world record for the direct conversion of sunlight into electricity using OPV cells. The electricity generation of the newly developed cells corresponds to the output of conventional solar cells with 16 to 17 percent efficiency when both are under real-world conditions, due to the low-light
