The conversion efficiency of ordinary monocrystalline solar cells is also above 19%, which is the highest photoelectric conversion efficiency among all types of solar cells.
TopCON, or tunnel activated passive contact, cells are expected to make up the bulk of the market over the next five years. In addition to representing a record for HJT technology, the results are a new milestone for the photoelectric conversion efficiency of single-crystalline silicon solar cell modules, Trina said in the statement.

Does Trina Solar have a new world record for conversion efficiency?
China's Trina Solar has set a new world record for the conversion efficiency of a certain type of solar module, the company said in a statement on Monday.
Solar-cell efficiency is the portion of energy in the form of sunlight that can be converted via photovoltaics into electricity by the solar cell. The efficiency of the solar cells used in a photovoltaic system, in combination with latitude and climate, determines the annual energy output of the system.

What are solar cell energy conversion efficiencies?
Solar cell efficiencies vary from 6% for amorphous silicon-based solar cells to 44.0% with multiple-junction production cells and 44.4% with multiple dies assembled into a hybrid package. Solar cell energy conversion efficiencies for commercially available multicrystalline Si solar cells are around 14–19%.
