“This is a huge milestone for Amonix and the CPV industry,” Amonix founder Vahan Garboushian says, noting that module efficiency peaked at 34.2%.
Sarah Kurtz, reliability group manager at NREL, says much of the world is unaware of the “dramatic progress” made by CPV companies toward achieving high power-conversion efficiencies.
The achievement of 33.3% efficiency for a commercial module augers well for industry efforts to drive down the cost of large-scale manufacturing, Kurtz says.
Amonix is private owned.
