As of December 2014, the world record for solar cell efficiency at 46% was achieved by using multi-junction concentrator solar cells, developed from collaboration efforts of Soitec, CEA-Leti, France together with Fraunhofer ISE, Germany. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) won one of R&D Magazine''s R&D 100 Awards for its Metamorphic Multijunction photovoltaic cell, an ultra-light and flexible cell that converts sola…
