"achieved an efficiency record of 22.6 percent. This means the cells can convert 22.6 percent of sunlight into energy. They also demonstrated a "fill factor" of more than 86 percent, which is one measure of the quality of the solar cell. We're always trying to reach the highest efficiency we can. Commercialisation won't happen without high efficiency... modeling we've done shows this was a limitation in previous types of solar cells"
