TaiyangNews TOP SOLAR MODULES H1-2024 report analyzing solar panels that are commercially available from integrated module manufacturers. A 4th of its kind, this report summarizes the key findings from 30 editions of our monthly ranking of top solar panels published on our website published between early 2022and June 2024.
As with the previous reports, this publication also fundamentally analyzes efficiency and power data – 2 critical features of solar modules. We assess improvements across various categories, including efficiency ranges, cell technology, and company performance. Over the last 2.5 years, both the number of participating companies and the number of products have significantly increased, from 19 in our first edition to 57 today.
We also investigated the progress of top efficiencies within each of the 4 major commercially available cell technologies: IBC, HJT, TOPCon, and PERC. For easier analysis, as we dig deeper into efficiency, we have split them into 4 bands: above 22.5%, 22% to 22.5%, 21.7% to 22%, and 21.5% to 21.7%.
We further analyzed the efficiency and power progress with respect to each cell technology, showing how the products of the listed companies sorted according to cell technology have progressed in the last 30 months.
As a further development of our TOP SOLAR MODULES Listing, we have created an annual EFFICIENCY LEADERS list. Those module manufacturers featured in the top 10 of the TOP SOLAR MODULES list for at least 6 months of a calendar year are qualified to apply for a badge of excellence.
