European project CPVMatch drives solar module efficiency up to 41.4 per cent.
In the development of photovoltaic technologies, Concentrator Photovoltaics (CPV) has so far achieved the highest efficiency for the conversion of sunlight into electricity. The basis for this latest achievement depends on special multi-junction solar cells as well as the ideal interplay between the cell and the module optics.

Researchers have developed an inexpensive way to make products incorporating nanoparticles — such as high-performance energy devices or sophisticated diagnostic tests — which could speed the commercial development of devices, materials and technologies.
