Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy have created a solar cell
that can convert 44 percent of sunlight hitting it into electrical

The
ongoing research is being done at the III-V Multijunction Photovoltaics
group at the Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy
Laboratory, where the previous record of 43.5 percent was set. So while
it's not a huge leap in efficiency, it's still a record.
