The year 2014 witnessed the breaking of the historic 25.0% power conversion efficiency record for crystalline silicon solar cells, which was set by the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia, in 1999.1,2 Almost simultaneously, Panasonic, Japan,3 and SunPower, USA,4 reported independently certified efficiencies of 25.6% and 25.0%, respectively, both using industrially-sized silicon wafers (see Fig. 1 and Table 1).
