The semi-transparent solar cells achieved a record-breaking efficiency of 21.68%, making them the most efficient among the perovskite solar cells using transparent electrodes in the world.

“A corresponding light utilization efficiency above 1.1% is achieved, which can be considered as one of the highest among inorganic semi-transparent solar cell technologies,” they explained.
