  • DMEGC Solar has added 2 new solar module products with new rectangular wafer sizes 
  • The M10RT 54 Series will cater to the distributed generation segment, while G12RT 66 Series will be for large-scale projects internationally 
  • With n-type rectangular silicon wafers, these modules can reach up to 25.5% efficiency 

Chinese vertically integrated solar PV module maker DMEGC Solar has expanded its product portfolio with new rectangular wafer modules using both M10 and G12 sizes, targeting its international customer base. It claims the mass production efficiencies of these modules with n-type silicon wafers reach up to 25.5%. 

Manufactured using 100% renewable energy, DMEGC says the M10RT 54 Series is specifically for the distributed generation market with a module size of 1,762 mm x 1,134 mm. Power output ranges from 430 W to 450 W. It is offering single-glass, double-glass, all-black and transparent backsheet versions for this product. 

"In the case of the 54 version, the M10RT cell, measuring 182.2mm x 186.7mm compared to the M10 cell's 182mm x 182mm, boosts the maximum output power by 15W and increases the conversion efficiency of 0.3%," added the manufacturer. "These enhancements further improve system efficiency and reduce Balance of System (BOS) and Levelized Cost of Electricity (LOCE) costs."  

Designed for large-scale projects, the G12RT 66 Series comes in single-glass and double-glass design with power ranging from 605 W to 620 W. The module size for these products is 2,382 mm x 1,134 mm. 

DMEGC's rectangular modules are compatible with both inverters and power optimizers in the market. It adds that since these adhere to industry-standard dimensions, and thereby effective container utilization; its modules reduce transportation, installation and maintenance costs for the developer. 

The manufacturer says both these product lines are certified by TÜV Rheinland and TÜV SÜD, having cleared stress testing under IEC TS 63209-1:2021. 

With these modules, DMEGC joins the growing list of solar module manufacturers opting for rectangular wafer sized modules (see Silicon Wafer Size Standardization Update).
