After we looked at alternative metallization approaches in the previous story of our HJT cell production series, this feature is about IV characterization, a process step, where HJT cells also require optimization.
After the 23% module efficiency threshold was broken by Aiko in the March edition of our commercially available TOP Solar Modules ranking, another company has managed to reach that level – LONGi Solar.
Backsheets, due to their multilayer construction, offer enormous potential for technical as well as economical optimization. Either of these dominates according to market demand.
In our recent articles on HJT cell processing we also mentioned several approaches explored in metallization of HJT (see Developments In Metallization For HJT). We now look further into alternate methods to improve the metallization process.
As our tastes Market Survey on Backsheets & Encapsulation shows, the encapsulants segment is quite different and rather limited in terms of choices among the polymer chemistry.
In our recent TaiyangNews Solar Trackers Market survey we have listed data for Nexans keylios solar tracker. This model was introduced in 2020.
TrinaTracker has provided a long list of important attributes for its products for our recent 2nd TaiyangNews Market Survey on Solar Trackers.
For our recent 2nd TaiyangNews Market Survey on Solar Trackers, the company has provided data for one product called STI H250, a 2017 model that, is touted as the world’s first dual-row HSAT system, which consists of two linked-torsion beams moved by one motor with a slew drive.
The Schletter Tracking System belongs to a rare group of HSAT systems that do not require a central torque tube, each row is self-powered, as shown by the data provided for our 2nd Solar Tracker Market Survey.
PVH offers various HSAT system configurations and connections with easy-to-install screw terminals, which eliminate the need for on-site welding or time-consuming labor for installation.
In our 2nd TaiyangNews Market Survey on Solar Track we covered also products from Nextracker the global leader for trackers with cumulative shipments totaling nearly 60 GW.
The metallization process and role of screen printing technology are being discussed in this article of our series on HJT solar technology.
This article provides details about some solar backsheet suppliers’s developments, after we discussed the recent price drop of PVDF and market updates on other backsheet several companies in a previous article on this topic (see Backsheet Market Shifts To Coating).
GameChange solar tracker company, provides an independent-row tracker system named Genius, which is listed among the products in TaiyangNews’ Market Survey on Solar Trackers.
After we discussed microcrystalline silicon as a promising alternative to doped amorphous silicon for HJT emitter layers in an earlier article, we now look into the second half of deposition in HJT processing (see HJT Processing: Shifting To Micro Silicon Layers).
FTC Solar has provided to our market survey solar trackers data for 2 products —Voyager & Voyager+—as against only the Voyager featured in the previous overview in 2021.
