Aiko presents ABC solar module with world record efficiency of 25.2% at Intersolar
The Chinese back contact module maker said its new products rely on the company’s all-back-contact (ABC) cell technology and feature a temperature coefficient of -0.26% per C.
DMEGC releases 440-460 W bifacial solar modules based on rectangular wafers at Intersolar
DMEGC Solar says its new solar panels combine a double-glass design with half-cut n-type cell technology. It says the efficiency ratings range from 22.0% to 23.0%.
Chinese researchers develop 28-µm silicon solar cell with 20% efficiency, 0% breakage rate
A research team in China has developed a novel thin-silicon wafer reinforced ring (TSRR) to protect ultra-thin wafers and solar cells during production. This technique consists of applying the ring at the edge of thin wafers and is compatible with all silicon solar module technology.
Swedish startup unveils tape-based stringer for back contact solar modules
Sticky Solar Power is taking orders for industrial-scale versions of its novel room-temperature cell interconnection system, which is reportedly well-suited for back-contact (xBC), perovskite, and heterojunction cell technologies.
U.S. startup claims doubled energy per acre with terrain-following solar array
California startup Planted Solar uses construction robots and high-density arrays to deliver what the company says are higher energy outputs and lower balance of system costs.
Canon unveils passivation material to improve perovskite solar cell durability
Canon has announced a new functional material for perovskite thin film passivation that potentially improves durability of perovskite solar cells while enabling a mass-production process. The Japanese company aims to start commercial production of the material in 2025.
Monitoring PV plants with 3D remote sensing data
Scientists in Spain have developed thermal image mapping on dense and high-resolution point clouds representing status and geometry of PV modules and automatic identification of individual solar panels in 3D space. The proposed methodology was found to provide “exceptionally high” accuracy.
Longi launches ultra-black HPBC solar modules for residential applications
The Chinese manufacturer said its new Hi-MO X6 Artist series has an efficiency of up to 22.3% and a power output ranging from 420 W to 430 W. The smaller version is currently priced at CNY 298 ($41.7)/m2 and the largest model is sold at CNY 268/m2.
Akcome halts some manufacturing, faces possible Chinese stock delisting
Akcome says it could be delisted from the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, as the value of its shares have fallen below CNY 1 ($0.14) for 20 consecutive trading days. In early June, the manufacturer announced a temporary halt in operations for its subsidiaries in China’s Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces.
Singulus Solar presents cell, module production equipment for TOPCon, HJT manufacturing
Germany-based Singulus Solar, a joint venture of Singulus Technologies, a German PV equipment manufacturer, and Yingkou Jinchen Machinery, a Chinese module manufacturing equipment supplier, announced it will supply cell and module turnkey solutions to manufacturers of tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) and heterjunction (HJT) PV products.
