Technical FAQs 4

What are the different types of PV solar modules?

This report provides a comprehensive comparison of four prominent PV solar module technologies: Mono PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell), HJT (Heterojunction), CdTe (Cadmium Telluride), and TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact).

What are the characteristics of a solar module?

Efficiency and output power are the 2 key characteristics of a solar module. While there are several means to improve module power, such as employing larger cell sizes or integrating more cells into a module, it’s the efficiency that truly speaks to the ability of the solar device to convert sunlight into power per area.

How efficient are solar panels?

Average panel efficiency has increased considerably over recent years from around 16% to well above 22% as manufacturers incorporate the latest cell technologies and innovations. At present, the world's most efficient solar panels are manufactured using HJT and IBC N-type monocrystalline silicon cells and achieve efficiency levels above 23.5%.

How efficient are silicon solar cells in the photovoltaic sector?

The photovoltaic sector is now led by silicon solar cells because of their well-established technology and relatively high efficiency. Currently, industrially made silicon solar modules have an efficiency between 16% and 22% (Anon (2023b)).
