Maxeon's New Silicon-based Solar Panels Emerging This Summer

• Headquartered in Singapore, solar supplier Maxeon Solar Technologies Ltd. revealed today that it will release a brand-new line of frameless, thin, lightweight, glass-less, and also adaptable silicon-based solar panels this summer called Maxeon Air. The panels will certainly be offered in pick European markets in the second half of 2021, before a basic worldwide release in the initial quarter of 2022.

Maxeon happily specifies that the new panels, which are structurally advanced but comparable to conventional photovoltaic panels in terms of efficiency and performance, to be an outcome of 5 years of research study, development and testing. Maxeon Air photovoltaic panel will be presented to the public throughout "The Smarter E Market Days" on July 21-23.

Jeff Seas, CEO of Maxeon Solar Technologies, stated, "For near fifty years, the solar power sector has nearly specifically utilized glass superstrate panel construction. As photovoltaic panels have actually boosted in dimension, and the price of solar cells has actually been substantially decreased, the cost of delivering, installing as well as mounting large glass panels has become a relatively bigger section of total system price." He adds that with Maxeon Air technology, the business can now establish products that reduce these prices while opening completely brand-new market chances such as low-load industrial rooftops.

The business asserts that Maxeon Air photovoltaic panels are conformable, ultra-light, durable and fire-certified panels that can be adhered straight to the roofing without the demand for racking or various other installing systems. The first item intro utilizing the technology will certainly target installation on roofing systems that are not crafted to support the weight of standard planetary systems. In Europe alone, the business estimates that there is an unserved yearly market for low-load roofing systems of over 4 GW.

The several innovative functions of the panels include:

• Light-weight and also conformable: Metal frames as well as heavy glass aren't used in the panel, and the resulting installed weight of around 6 kg/m ² is less than half of traditional systems and also substantially lowers the roof load.
• Peel-and-stick style: The manufacturing facility incorporated glue layer allows the setup of the photovoltaic panel directly on the roofing system surface area, minimizing setup time as well as lessening company disturbance.
• Durable building and construction: Engineered to comply with irregular roofing surfaces, these photovoltaic panels integrate Maxeon ® IBC solar cells, which integrate a strong metal foundation as well as stress happy cell interconnects, consequently protecting versus deterioration and also enabling fault tolerant circuits that enable energy flow despite broken cells.
• Leading Energy Return: Maxeon IBC solar cells are one of the most reliable on the market, as a result of which the photovoltaic panels are 20.9% reliable as well as color forgiving and also provide optimal energy return from restricted roof location.
• Location resistance: Maxeon IBC solar cells have the unique ability to share current backwards prejudice voltage while shaded, avoiding harmful or harmful high temperatures. This function is specifically important when panels are adhered directly to the roof.
• Qualified: Engineered to the greatest safety and security requirements and also licensed for fire resistance, Maxeon Air solar panels are made to withstand the tensions enforced by setup and also lasting climate exposure.
