Hainan University has successfully developed a new type of solar cell with an impressive efficiency rating of 26.92%, as reported on May 19, 2025. This achievement was made in collaboration with the School of Electrical Engineering and New Energy at the university, focusing on innovative solar cell technology.
The newly developed solar cell has passed certification from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), which recently announced that the highest efficiency for commercial solar cells is now 26.95%. Hainan University’s solar cell efficiency is only 0.03% percentage points shy of this record. This advancement is recognized as a significant milestone in solar technology and reflects the university’s ongoing commitment to excellence in renewable energy research.
According to university officials, the new solar cell technology can enhance energy generation and has been designed to meet stringent quality standards. The team behind the development has emphasized that the efficiency values achieved demonstrate the potential for further improvements in solar technology.
Hainan University plans to continue its efforts in advancing solar energy technologies, aiming to establish a “design-manufacturing-testing” integrated approach by 2025. The goal is to develop systems that are not only efficient but also reliable and cost-effective for widespread use.
