TaiyangNews Virtual Conference on High Efficiency Solar Technologies
- From PERC, TOPCon to HJT and IBC
This was the TaiyangNews Launch Conference for our Heterojunction 2020 Report
Dec.1-4, 2020, 14:00 – 17:00 CET
For the TaiyangNews conference on High Efficiency Solar Technologies, we invited leaders from research, production equipment and materials supply as well as cell/module manufacturing to look at the topic from different angles. Our High Efficiency Solar Technologies was about all commercial high-efficiency solar technologies – from the new incumbent PERC (with focus on the M10/182mm variety), Passivated Contacts (TopCon) to Heterojunction (HJT) and Back Contact Cells (IBC), with an outlook to silicon based tandem technologies.
The conference, which took place from Dec. 1-4, 2020, each day from 14:00 – 17:00 CET, was also the launch event for our TaiyangNews Heterojunction Solar Technology 2020 Report, which can be accessed free of charge here.
