Advanced solar photovoltaic panel manufacturers

What is a thin film photovoltaic (PV) module?

First Solar’s advanced thin film photovoltaic (PV) modules represent the next generation of solar technologies, providing a competitive, high-performance, lower-carbon alternative to conventional crystalline silicon (c-Si) PV panels.

Which solar panels use IBC cells?

Sunpower, Aiko, SPIC and Recom are currently the leading manufacturers using IBC cells. However, the latest panels from REC, Longi, Huasun, Panasonic, Trina and Canadian Solar utilise very efficient N-type heterojunction (HJT) and TOPCon cells.

Which solar panels are most efficient?

However, the latest panels from REC, Longi, Huasun, Panasonic, Trina and Canadian Solar utilise very efficient N-type heterojunction (HJT) and TOPCon cells. Panels featuring HJT cells offer an extremely low power temperature co-efficient, which means they can outperform even IBC cells under certain conditions.

Which solar modules have the highest efficiency?

The top 14 highest scoring modules scored efficiencies of 20% or more. An n-type TOPCon cell scored the highest at 25.8% efficiency, followed by a monocrystalline silicon module with heterojunction technology, recording a 22.4% efficiency.
