The answer lies in PERC technology - a revolutionary cell architecture that's transforming photovoltaic performance. PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell) technology boosts solar efficiency by adding a rear passivation layer, reducing electron recombination and increasing light absorption to achieve 22-24% efficiency in commercial panels.

Efficiency for IBC solar cells is higher in general, but the highest recorded efficiency for both technologies is similar. The highest efficiency for PERC solar cells was recorded at 25.0%, while IBC solar cells achieved a 25.4% conversion efficiency. The biggest downside for IBC technology is that it has a higher cost than PERC solar panels.
From our experimental study and observed cell parameter improvements, we show a pathway for the increase in PERC cell efficiency. This has many similarities to the pathways suggested by Min et al. (2017), which was based on simulation and modelling.
