pv magazine Awards: Modules

PV module technology stands at a crossroads in 2025, as reflected in highlights from the pv magazine Awards entries received so far. Tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) cells have rapidly taken over the mainstream, but manufacturers are already lining up their next move to higher performance, with back-contact and heterojunction products coming to the market in increasing numbers. At the same time, the crowded marketplace has suppliers searching for niches to fill, and modules designed for specific applications, such as repowering or vertical installations, are becoming more common. Award winners will be chosen by a panel of expert jurors and announced in December 2025. Until then, we’ll be highlighting some of the top entries received across all seven categories. This month, it’s modules that take their turn in the spotlight.
