A reliable beacon of progress for the international PV industry, Professor Martin Green's Solar Cell Efficiency Tables Version 67 are a snapshot of the latest highest confirmed efficiencies across cell, device and module technologies.

The Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics (ACAP) is proud to highlight the publication of a landmark analysis in prestigious journal Joule titled " State-of-play of contending silicon photovoltaic technologies " 1 , authored by Professor Martin Green alongside notable co-authors Dr Jessica Yajie Jiang , Dr Ning Song and Dr Zibo Zhou (UNSW/ACAP), and industry heavyweights from Aiko , LONGi , Huasun, JA Solar and Trina Solar . Silicon solar cells account for over 97%

In December 2025, Nature Energy published an article penned by ACAP leaders and another ~70 world-leading solar PV experts outlining a strategic global framework for accelerating solar PV deployment as the world enters a multi-terawatt era.

In recent years, with the support of ACAP, Dr Anyao Liu and the Silicon PV Research Group at ANU have delivered a major body of work that is helping global industry chart the path to cleaner, more efficient and more stable silicon solar technologies. Building on decades of pioneering work at both ANU and UNSW in identifying and eliminating bulk defects in silicon, the ANU team – including Professor Dan Macdonald, Dr Anyao Liu, Dr Rabin Basnet, Ms Afsaneh Kashizadeh, Dr Zhon

UNSW collaborations delivers revolutionary cheaper faster and more insight PL cell imaging for industry.

In front of a full auditorium at the IEEE PVSC in Montreal, one of the world’s leading silicon solar cell experts presented a compelling analysis of Jinko Solar’s record-setting 26.7% TOPCon cell, outlining the next steps that will push mass production efficiencies beyond 27% within just a few years.   Since 2016, the Australian National University ’s Professor Dan Macdonald and his PV Research Group have partnered with Jinko Solar , the world’s largest solar cell manufacture

UNSW Sydney and the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics (ACAP) recently welcomed a senior delegation from JA Solar, one of the world’s largest and most innovative solar manufacturers, for two days of technical exchange, lab visits and strategic discussions.

A team from UNSW Sydney has published a major advance that could unlock a new generation of high-efficiency silicon solar cells – using singlet fission.

JA Solar, a global leader in the photovoltaic (PV) industry, has joined the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics (ACAP) Industry Consortium, a collaborative platform under ACAP and led by the University of New South Wales (UNSW).
