[h=1]Panasonic beats SolarCity's record of producing the world's most efficient rooftop solar panel today.[/h]
Just weeks before, Elon Musk backed company Solar city announced that it has produced the world's most efficient rooftop PV module, achieving a 22.04% module level efficiency.
But today, Panasonic Eco Solutions broke the record by producing 22.5% efficient solar module.
"This new record on module-level efficiency adds to the 25.6 efficiency record achieved last year at cell-level. The new panel efficiency record demonstrates once again Panasonic's...ongoing commitment to move the needle in advanced solar technology," Daniel Roca, senior business developer at Panasonic Eco Solutions Europe, said in a statement.
The prototype has been developed using a 72 cell, 270-watt prototype . Unlike Solarcity which uses standard solar cell, Panasonic uses thin-layer solar cell .
Panasonic is planning to release to release its commercial version in 2016.
