By end of July, seven leading module manufacturers had officially entered
the 500 W+ 'club', releasing product data specs with concrete roadmaps to quickly step into and expand high- volume production in the coming months.

This first TaiyangNews Report on 500 W+ Modules, in addition to providing details of the new solar module products recently announced, also discusses the changes and corresponding implications to produce 500 W+ modules along three stages of the process chain – wafers, cells and modules. As larger wafers are a key ingredient, the report also provides background on the evolution of large-scale wafers.

The 500 W+ modules featured in the report are from:

  • Ja Solar

  • JinkoSolar

  • LONGi Solar

  • Maxeon Solar Technologies / SunPower

  • Risen Energy

  • Trina Solar

The TaiyangNews Report on 500W+ Solar Modules is for download free of charge here.
