topcon

LONGi has actually introduced its very first automation module featuring n-type TOPCon cells at today's SNEC PV Expo exhibition in China.

SNEC 2021 at Shanghai remains to regurgitate key launches, thanks to a roaring domestic market. The most recent information originates from Risen Energy of China that has released a brand-new N-type module with as much as 700W result in a solitary wafer which it claims integrates the advantages of and enhances both TOPCon and also heterojunction (HJT) cell technologies.

Solar cell efficiency records have actually continued to drop after LONGi toasted innovations in both high-efficiency p-type solar cells and commercial heterojunction (HJ) cells.

LONGi Solar has set a brand-new record conversion effectiveness for an n-type monocrystalline bifacial TOPCon cell of 25.09%.

Leading 'Solar Module Super League' (SMSL) participant JinkoSolar has actually accomplished a record-high conversion effectiveness of 23.01% for its N-type Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact (TOPCon) module, verified by TÜV Rheinland.

China-based PV backsheet and high-efficiency PV module supplier Jolywood (Suzhou) Sunwatt Co (Jolywood) believes its latest iteration of an n-type TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) can attain 24.5% conversion efficiencies in volume production, the greatest in China for such a cell design.

China-based PV backsheet and high-efficiency PV module producer Jolywood (Suzhou) Sunwatt Co (Jolywood) has actually reported record 3rd quarter 2020 profits and earnings, while going beyond 2019 full-year monetary cause the initial 9 months of 2020 as it remains to perform on high-efficiency n-type TOPCon module deliveries to utility-scale PV nuclear power plant projects.

As p-type mono cell performances border closer to their restrictions, n-type cells are increasingly being identified as next-generation technologies, creates PV InfoLink expert Amy Fang. Suppliers have concentrated their research and development initiatives in recent times on the production of commercially practical pathways for heterojunction (HJT) and also tunnel-oxidized passivated get in touch with (TOPCon) cells.

China-based PV backsheet as well as high-efficiency PV producer Jolywood (Suzhou) Sunwatt Carbon monoxide has actually begun shipments of its n-type TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) high-efficiency bifacial solar components to the 500MW-plus Oman Ibri II endeavor, a PV project being developed by ACWA Power.

Jolywood (Taizhou) Solar Technology Carbon Monoxide, the PV module production arm of significant PV backsheet producer Jolywood (Suzhou) Sunwatt Carbon monoxide stated it had actually made a conversion performance development with n-type TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) high-efficiency bifacial solar cells.

Chinese producer Jolywood asserts it has actually gotten to 23.5% cell performance on the assembly line for its n-type TOPCon innovation. The success, which has actually not been confirmed by a 3rd party, stands for a 0.3% renovation to Jolywood's reported automation effectiveness.

There is movement in the heterojunction space, but will it be enough to surpass PERC’s momentum? New production lines show promise, but they might also be the last roll of the dice for Swiss production equipment supplier Meyer Burger.

Major PV materials supplier, Heraeus Photovoltaics has collaborated with German company, Cell Engineering to develop metallisation pastes for its ‘LECO’ (Laser Enhanced Contact Optimization) technology that can increase multiple solar cell architectures conversion efficiencies by up to 0.15%.
