pv magazine: Seraphim launched its Eclipse module at the PV Expo in Japan. Could you describe the module's features and what makes it a good fit for the Japanese market?Justin Xi: Currently the solar market has a number of different technologies in order to improve efficiencies. But on the module side, there has been very little innovation for the past few years. The first solar panel of 50 years ago is not too different, really, from today's modules. So we have identified ways to improve module assembly, and what advantages this brings. So for the Seraphim Eclipse module, the efficiency is not based on any cell efficiency increase. It uses a rather normal cell that is successfully produced at volume across the market. The way we design the panels makes them dramatically lighter than before, using much less lead than traditional designs. Of course, efficiency is the most important thing, so our R&D team gathers daily to figure out ways to increase efficiency. Busbars, for example, are dependent ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
