Risen Energy announces 500 Wp+ half cut mono PERC modules

• The PV manufacturer declared the development of the new solar panels, which comprise new M12 series monocrystalline wafers, in a summit on Thursday in the Chinese city of Ningbo. The 50-cell modules are in fact slightly larger than 72-cell designs with 156.75 millimeter wafers, it stated.

Risen Energy has unveiled fresh 500 Wp+ PV modules created with big, 210 mm M12 wafers.

The Chinese PV maker and developer - established in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province - announced that the M12 wafers really signal the dawn of the 600 Wp+ age. It claimed it might readily reach 600 Wp of output using a 60-cell panel, adding that it also considers that it could hit 625 Wp with n-type cells.

The business was quick to lineup when Tianjin-based Zhonghuan Semiconductor introduced its fresh 210 mm, M12 super wafers back in August. It stated that its brand new 5 GW module manufacturing base in Yiwu, Zhejiang province, will soon be prepared to begin cranking out the new M12 panels from some point in early 2020, with a GW-level shipment target at the end of this coming year.

Risen also unveiled fresh 440 Wp, half cut heterojunction (HJT) modules this week. It asserts the 60-cell panels, which boast a conversion efficiency of 21.6%, can boost yields by 7.8percent over comparable designs because of their temperature coefficient.

The business recently signed several strategic agreements with many businesses. They comprise the above M12 wafer supply bargain with Zhonghuan Semiconductor, in addition to a deal with Arctech Solar for intelligent trackers and yet another one with Huawei for string inverters.
