Review of the Year, Q3 2020: Upstream solar pinches and a US residential solar shake-up
Throughout Q3 there were several key developments across solar’s upstream sector, including JinkoSolar starting off the quarter by laying claim to a record large-area N-type monocrystalline silicon solar cell conversion efficiency of 24.79%. The cells have a practical size of 267.72cm2 and are made of high-quality CZ mono-Si substrate, helping them achieve the record levels independently confirmed by the Institute for Solar Energy Research in Hamelin, Germany. 865 hits2020-12-30
