Chinese solar manufacturer Trina Solar has achieved 21.1% efficiency on its p-type PERC cell based on a large-sized (243.23 cm2) boron-doped Cz-Si substrate - the highest so far for this size using a low-cost industrial process. The levels were officially verified by Germany’s Fraunhofer ISE CalLab, and beat Trina Solar's previous record of 22.61%. Company chief scientist and VP Pierre Verlinden said the firm's goal was to push for "technological innovation" and turn laboratory technology into commercial production.
