JinkoSolar showcases 13.08%- efficient transparent TOPCon solar module for BIPV, agrivoltaics

• The new solar module can be purchased with different levels of transparency, depending upon the project, with light transmittance ranging in between 30% and also 40%. It has a power output of 245 W to 300 W as well as a temperature coefficient of -0.30% per C.

Chinese module producer JinkoSolar released a new transparent solar module for applications in building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and agrivoltaics at the recent Smarter E event kept in Munich, Germany.

" The Jinko Transparent Curtain Wall Series is based upon our n-type TOPCon HOT2 cell modern technology," a business spokesperson informed pv magazine. "It can be purchased with different levels of transparency, depending on the project. Light transmittance ranges in between 30% as well as 40%.".

The panel has a power output ranging from 245 W to 300 W with the power conversion performance extending from 12.09% to 13.08%. The open-circuit voltage is in between 25.6 V and 28.5 V and also the short-circuit current is of 12.09 A to 12.93 A.

It gauges 1,1759 mm × 1158 mm × 11.5 mm, weighes 54 kg and its temperature coefficient is -0.30% per C.

The operating ambient temperature ranges from -40 C to 85 C, stated the manufacturer, as well as the maximum system voltage is 1,500 V. The panel has 6 mm of toughened glass on both sides and its junction box has an IP 67 rating.

Jinko provides a five-year item warranty as well as a 25-year power output guarantee. The panels are stated to be able to operate at 90% of their original performance after one decade and also at 80% in the remaining 15 years.

" The item is also available in various colors as well as can be adjusted to modern architectural concepts," the spokesperson stated. "The dual glass configuration ensures lower crack diffusivity and deterioration resistance.".
