Soitec and CEA-Leti (France) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE (Germany) have just set a world record for the efficiency of their new solar cell, beating their own previous record set in 2013.
That means that solar cell efficiency has increased from just over 32% in the year 2000 to 46% today.
That's not just going to be very important for those countries like the UK that aren't overly blessed with much sun, but also such efficiency would make a huge impact on the huge solar farms starting to pop up in desert regions:
