Boeing's Spectrolab subsidiary has been working on making solar cells
more and more efficient for years now, and it looks like it's now set
to put its latest record-breaking cells into mass production. Those
come in the form of the company's new C3MJ+ solar cells, which boast
an average conversion efficiency of 39.2 percent, making them the most
efficient mass produced cells to date. What's more, Spectrolab says
that since the new cells are so similar to its current C3MJ production
cells, it should be relatively easy for customers already using those
to upgrade to the new cells. Still no word on a price, it seems, but
the new cells should be available in January. And, yes, Spectrolab is
also hard at work on breaking its own record -- it hopes to crack the
40 percent mark later in 2011.
