Breakthrough 43% Solar Conversion Efficiency Recorded:

Researchers have recorded a new record in solar conversion efficiency of 43%:

Someone in the comments section said this would amount to 100W/sq.ft under ideal conditions. That's pretty amazing - even a significant fraction of that amount would be fabulous.

dear san

to my knowledge the value is not 100w/sq.ft but it is roughly 55w/sft.

because solar constant is roughly 1400 w/m2 and 43% of it is 602 w/m2 which is roughly 55 w/sft

kindly check the values
