Chinese solar manufacturer JA Solar has unveiled the world’s most powerful PV module: the Jumbo solar panel with a power output the company says tops 800 W of output.
The 240-cell panel – unveiled at the SNEC PV Power Expo trade show in Shanghai – has quadruple layouts of PERC cells and features a triple-cut cell design with 11 busbars on 210mm wafers. It is the most powerful and the biggest, heaviest device on the market, with dimensions of 2,219×1,765x40mm and weighs in at 43.5kg. By comparison, a 585 W panel unveiled by a competitor this year measures 2,411×1,134x35mm and weighs 31.1kg.
According to the JA Solar panel’s product sheet, the JAM80S40 785-810 HRM module series is available in six versions which offer power outputs of 785-810 W and efficiencies ranging from 20.1 to 20.8%.
Open circuit voltage is reportedly 81.90-82.68 V and maximum power voltage ranges from 68.39-69.84 V, depending on the size. Short circuit current is said to range between 12.50 and 12.20 ampere and power tolerance is 0%/+5%.
The operating ambient temperature ranges from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius, according to the manufacturer, and maximum system voltage is 1,500 V. The junction box has a reported IP 68 rating.

JA Solar says it offers a 12-year product warranty and 25-year power output guarantee. Annual linear degradation over 25 years is indicated at 0.55% while degradation for the first year of the panel’s lifetime is capped at 1.5%.
The manufacturer said 27 modules can be loaded on a pallet. For comparison, 31 of the 580 W panels offered by another competitor can be stowed on one pallet.
The JA Solar module is yet to enter mass production.

Thanks
what about temperature coefficients?
Please send complete detail brucher of this product.
I am intrasted solar related product and Batteries, Inverters.

Seems to me it’s a mistake to exceed 8 ft x 4 ft. This is the size of a sheet of construction plywood. This module if the specifications quoted are corrects would be 7.3 ft x 5.8 ft. Sure, bigger size gives larger wattage but the logistics have to be considered too.
