1) The best efficient solar panel available in market is developed by Professor Martin Green, director of the Australian Centre for Advanced
Photovoltaics at the University of NSW. It has achieved 40.4 per cent "conversion efficiency" by using commercially available solar cells
combined with a mirror and filters that reduce wasted energy.
