Fraunhofer ISE has raised the efficiency of its record-breaking III-V germanium solar module from 34.2% to 34.4%, using shingle-matrix technology combined with space-grade solar cells. The advance builds on adapted triple-junction cells from Azur Space and a new interconnection method that improves area utilization by reducing shading and eliminating metal ribbons.
