Advanced Module Technologies For Better CTM
Optimized BOM In Combination With Advanced Module Technologies Helping To Enhance Light Management And Lower Resistance Losses At Module Level
After we listed the different mechanisms that are responsible for gains and losses in a module impacting the Cell-to-Module (CTM) power ratio in an earlier article (see Gain & Losses At Module Level), here we discuss how in practice it can be im.
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.
Application Fusion: Resi & C&I Modules
Modules Listed In Residential & C&I Are A Real Mix Of Products Suitable For Both Applications, As Shown In TaiyangNews Advanced Solar Module Technologies 2021 Report
Module makers are preferring to label their products under a broader section of applications and offering the same product for more than one application.
Holding Both The Ends
C&I Segment Of PV, Due To A Broad Range Of Requirements Nearly Every Module Product Can Be Promoted For This Application, Shows TaiyangNews Report
The solar C&I segment being is an intermediate between the residential and utility streams, it covers small-scale ground-mount installations to very large roof spaces of multiple MW.
Advancing Solar Modules
While Every Advanced Module Technology Has A Specific Advantage, They Are Highly Inter-Compatible Enabling To Blend Several Technologies In One Module Product
Improving light management and reducing resistance losses are the two main paths to improve module performance. While improving light management primarily involves changing the BOM, antireflection coated glass is already a standard.
Cost Reduction Through Larger Wafers
The Main Motivation For Increasing Module Power Through Larger Wafers Is To Reduce The Cost For The Balance Of System (BOS).
Th PV industry has increasingly been focusing on employing larger wafer based cells in pursuit of increasing module power. The main motivation for increasing module power is to reduce the cost for the balance of system (BOS).
Many Module Efficiencies Above 21%
Not Only High Efficiency Cell Technologies Are Enabling High Efficiencies, Even Products Based On Mainstream PERC Have Also Attained Efficiencies Above 21%
The efficiency of a solar module is its ability to convert the incident solar light into electrical energy per unit area.
