Module Design Dictated by Application
Not only is module design becoming application centric, PV is increasingly “integrated” to other applications
When it comes to PV modules, the solar industry has made quite some progress over the past year — and it continues the highly dynamic trend we have seen over the last 3 years as it strives to reduce costs, a result of higher cell and module efficiencies.
Power vs. Cell Size & Count
Leading Solar Module Makers Are Offering Quite A Wide Variety Of Products Based On Different Wafer Sizes Cell Count, Shows TaiyangNews Advanced Solar Module Technologies Report
Until recently, the module power, the most important characteristic of a PV module, has majorly been a function of either efficiency or the number of cells integrated into a module, which was 60 or 72 cells.
Powerful Is Preferred For Utility Scale PV
While High Power PV Panels Are Preferred In Large Scale Solar Applications, Promoting High Efficiency Products Could Be A New Trend, According to TaiyangNews Advanced Module Technology Report
The PV industry is increasingly finding new applications for solar modules. Floating PV and AgriPV are a few that have been added to the list and have been attracting traction in recent times.
Alternate Expression For Efficiency
With Modules Becoming Available In Different Configurations And Sizes, Power Density Is A Handy Metric To Compare Different Products And Brands
Notwithstanding its importance, output power may no longer serve as the common ground while evaluating modules of different technologies and brands.

UK Firm Secures Oman Rooftop PV Management Contract
Oman’s Authority For Electricity Regulation Signs Up PassivSystems Of UK To Provide PassivPro Platfrom For 1 GW Residential Rooftop Solar PV Capacity Across 250,000 Roofs
The asset managment software PassivPro by PassivSystems will collect daily generation data to ensure yield optimization from 250,000 rooftop solar systems to be installed under the Sahim scheme of the AER, Oman.
More Busbars
One of the most simple and straightforward ways to reduce resistance losses is to add more busbars
One of the most simple and straightforward ways to reduce resistance losses of solar cells is to add more busbars. Increasing the number of busbars reduces the gap between them, which also shortens the finger length.
