A record was set this week for the creation of the most efficient solar panel ever.
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have successfully transformed 40.8% of the light that goes through their cell into energy.
To put that in perspective, SunPower's 225 panels are the highest efficiency solar panels commercially available for residential use. They're 18.1% efficient.
