Insolight has achieved 29% efficiency with a solar panel that combines space-grade PV cells with concentrated glass. Verified by the Solar Energy Institute of the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, the result improves upon non-concentrated PV modules that typically reach about 19%. As well as the pre-production module, the Swiss firm has also been trialling versions outside for two years, successfully enduring a variety of weather conditions. Insolight noted its offering can be mounted in standard industry tilt angles on both the ground and commercial rooftops, and said it is in negotiations to license its technology to several solar manufacturers.
