Of course not. 100% efficiency is the maximum imaginable - it means that all the energy hitting the cell is converted to usable electricity. More than 100% would violate the Principle of Conservation of Energy, which would bring the whole of physics as we know it crashing to the ground. (I hate these things that talk about 110% effort n- it just means thy chose the wrong base). In fact, 100% efficiency will never be reached: there many mechanisms for losing energy in a solar cell. But efficiencies might be pushed into the 30-40% region.

There is no 100% efficency in the cosmos! This very efficient answering tagged to the relability of mine in the subject is to be in inefficency!

Hi Egao. Yes, in a sense, I think they can.. Ok, if wecollect more than we use, we can sell that extra energy back to the grid. So, theoretically, if enough of us had solar panels, I can see power becoming free very quickly. I believe that is why this is taking so long to achieve, but, I look forward to seeing the day it happens.
