Half Cut Solar Panels Benefits

Half cut solar panels have multiple benefits in extending panel durability.

Half cut solar panels benefits.

Slower power degradation enabled by low lid mono perc technology. Latest solar panel technology the half cut cells. A normal solar panel has 60 cells. So what and who cares.

Seraphim are a well regarded tier 1 solar module and panel manufacturing company with a strong r d focus. Half cell modules have solar cells that are cut in half which improves the module s performance and durability. Traditional 60 and 72 cell panels will have 120 and 144 half cut cells respectively. Thanks to bypass diodes shown in red below one small spot of shade on a panel caused by say a leaf or bird poop will knock one entire cell string out of action but not affect the others.

Solid pid resistance ensured by solar cell process optimisation and careful module bom selection. When solar cells are halved their current is also halved so resistive losses are lowered and the cells can produce a little more power. And as smaller cells flex less there is a decreased opportunity for cracking. Advantages of half cut solar cell modules.

Solarbright offers the seraphim 330w srp 315 bmb as one of our standard t1 panels as it combines half cut cell technology quality and performance at an accessible price point. They discussed how cell to module. Higher power output the increased efficiency of half cut solar cells produce higher power output compared to a traditional solar module. It creates more pathways for power to get to the inverter.

Firstly smaller cells reduce the stress on cell interconnection expansion and contraction as the panel heats and cools each day. The reason it is such an amazing breakthrough in solar panel technology is it has has some very distinct advantages. First year 2 0 55 year 2 25. Instead of having 3 panel cell strings like a standard solar panel the half cut panel has 6 panel cell strings making it a 6 string panel.

A half cut cell doubles this amount to 120 in the same size solar panel. Since being established in 2009 seraphim have over 6gw of installed solar panels world wide. In our webinar on october 30 2018 we asked experts what the advantages of half cut cell modules are and what installers need to be aware of during installation.
