Alta Devices reported on developments of solar cells - specialists created a solar cell with an efficiency of 30.8%. This value is record, confirmed by NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory).
In the cell is used technology with double transition, developed by Alta Devices.
Increase efficiency, the battery of the same area may generate more electricity. Alta Devices hope to increase the battery life of smartphones, tablets, keyboards, mouse, remote controls and other devices, by embedding them in solar panels.
According to the developers, achieved efficiency results in some cases completely abandon charging from mains, since the built-in solar panel can fully meet the needs of the unit with a typical usage scenario.
