    On April 26, 2016, Trina Solar's State Key Laboratory of Photovoltaic Science and Technology announced that it has set a world record
    for a large-area N-type monocrystalline silicon IBC cell with ×a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 23.
    5% after independent testing by a third-party authority JET.
    This value broke the same world record
    of 22.
    94% set by Trina Solar in May 2014.

    IBC cell (full back electrode contact crystalline silicon photovoltaic cell) is a technology that moves the positive and negative metal contacts to the back of the cell, so that the front of the cell facing the sun is completely black, and the metal line
    presented on the front of most photovoltaic cells is completely invisible.
    This not only brings more effective power generation area to users, but also helps to improve power generation efficiency, and the appearance is more beautiful
    .

    Trina Solar's State Key Laboratory of Photovoltaic Science and Technology developed this record-breaking N-type monocrystalline silicon large-area IBC cell adopts advanced backside electrode cross structure design and mass-production, low-cost process
    .
    The new world record IBC battery with an efficiency of 23.
    5% is completely screen printed using the traditional screen printing process
    .

    This is another milestone just two years after Trina Solar and the Australian National University developed a 2x2cm² small-area laboratory IBC cell with a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 24.
    4%, and the 156×156 mm² N-type monocrystalline silicon IBC cell is consistent in area with the current industrially produced ordinary photovoltaic cells
    .

    Dr.
    Zhiqiang Feng, Vice President of Trina Solar and Director of the State Key Laboratory of Photovoltaic Science and Technology, said: "We are pleased to announce this new world record
    set by scientists and researchers at Trina Solar's State Key Laboratory for Photovoltaic Science and Technology.

    The photoelectric conversion efficiency reaches 23.
    5%, which is the highest efficiency
    to date for a 156×156 mm² large-area monocrystalline silicon IBC cell.
    IBC cells are by far the most efficient crystalline silicon cells, but there have always been problems
    with relatively complex manufacturing processes.
    Over the years, Trina Solar's State Key Laboratory has been committed to the research of low-cost and high-efficiency crystalline silicon cell technology, and we believe that the development and application of large-area IBC cells will ultimately reduce manufacturing costs
    .
    On this basis, improving cell efficiency and realizing the industrialization of low-cost and high-efficiency photovoltaic cells is our ultimate goal
