Solar cell efficiency tables (version 26)

By providing guidelinesfor the inclusion of results into these tables, this not only provides an authoritative summary of the cur-rent state of the art but also encourages researchers to seek independent confirmation of results and to reportresults on a standardised basis. In the present article, new results since January 2005 are briefly reviewed.The most important criterion for inclusion of results into the tables is that they must have been measured by arecognised test centre listed in an earlier issue.
