Researchers claim solar efficiency breakthrough for flexible 'skin' | Solar power | The Guardian

The previous record efficiency for converting sunshine into electricity using quantum dot solar cells was 13.4%. The university said Wang and his team had increased that to 16.6%. It has been recognised as a record by the US National Energy Research Laboratory.
Wang said the improvement of nearly 25% was a significant step towards the technology becoming commercially viable and supporting global efforts to cut carbon dioxide emissions.
“It is effectively the difference between quantum dot solar cell technology being an exciting prospect and being commercially viable,” he said.
