Masdar PV’s thin-film solar modules reach 7.4 % efficiency

06 September 2010

Masdar PV says its amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin-film solar cells have reached an efficiency of 7.4% – a 15% increase.

“We have achieved this substantial increase in the efficiency of our modules because we have consistently focussed on optimising the production line in line with market requirements from the very outset. A decisive factor in this respect was the work undertaken by our expert team, and for the future we see the possibility of increasing the efficiencies of our modules even further,” says Dr. Harald Bloeß, Manager Engineering/Transfer at Masdar PV.
