Motech  announced  what it sees as a breakthrough in solar cells. The monocrystalline solar cell will be known as  “Sirius.”  The technology was introduced at the Solar Power International meeting and International Press Conference in Chicago. Motech has its U.S.  headquarters in Glasgow.

Sirius has an industry leading peak conversion efficiency over 20.5 percent, and the capability to increase cost efficiency and value, according to a release.

According to Dr. Allen Wu,  vice president of sales and marketing at  Motech, Sirius is a truly meaningful development since the Monocrystalline cell’s higher capability leads to premium module power output and efficiency, which makes it a natural choice for our customers. Motech continues to effectively improve the conversion efficiency through the innovation of its R&D and manufacturing team in process optimization and material enhancement, he added.

Motech says the   introduction of Sirius is likely to drive down the cost of solar energy by increasing the energy production from each solar panel made with Motech cells. The company says other features  will lower system and installation costs.

The cells will be available first quarter, 2014, while modules will be available upon request.
