In multijunction cell, individual cells are made of layers, where each layer captures part of the sunlight passing through the cell. This allows the cell to more energy from the suns light. For the past two decades researchers have tried to break the 40 percent efficient barrier on solar cell devices. In the early DOE began researching what are known as multijunction gallium arsenidebased solar cell devices, multilayered solar cells which converted about percent of the suns available energy into electricity. In DOEs National Renewable Energy laboratory broke the percent barrier, which attracted interest from the space industry.

Department of Energy and for solar energy engineering worldwide, Assistant Secretary Karsner said. We are eager to see this accomplishment translate into the marketplace as soon as possible, which has the potential to help reduce our nations reliance on imported oil and increase our energy security.Attaining percent efficient concentrating solar cell means having another technology pathway for producing costeffective solar electricity. Almost all of todays solar cell modules do not concentrate sunlight but use only what the produces naturally, what researchers call one insolation, which achieves an efficiency of to percent.
