researchers at the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics at the University of New South Wales have achieved a 12.1 % efficiency rating for a 16 sq cm perovskite solar cell , the highest for a cell of that size . Team leader Anita Ho - Baillie thinks she can achieve 24 % within a year or so . Sacrificing some efficiency for increased durability and efficiency as a boundary layer with conventional cells could be the fastest route to commercialisation for the technology .

Sacrificing some efficiency for increased durability and working as a tandem layer with conventional cells could be the fastest route to commercialisation for the technology.
