Chint Solar’s sister company has been researching the technology since 2020 and built its pilot R&D line in Haining, Zhejiang, with TOPCon cells produced having reached a 24.6% efficiency rate according to Astronergy.

The products are to be unveiled formally at an event held tomorrow (26 April 2022).

Along with heterojunction, TOPCon is one of the leading candidates for next-generation technologies to help pass through p-type’s 25% efficiency rate and solar manufacturers are expecting strong shipment share for TOPCon in 2022.

Earlier this year, PV Tech’s head of market research Finlay Colville revealed which manufacturers would lead the PV industry’s transition from p-type to n-type.

Astronergy has introduced its latest module product series, ASTRO N7 and ASTRO N7s, both of which utilise rectangular wafers. ASTRO N7, based on the 210mm*182mm wafer, is specifically tailored for utility-scale systems. It features dimensions of 2382mm*1134mm and a 66-cell layout design that effectively lowers Voc and increases string size. This design feature significantly reduces tracker and cable costs, leading to a reduction in LCOE by 0.44% to 4.37% compared to 182mm-wafer TOPCon modules. Furthermore, ASTRO N7 incorporates advanced cell and module technologies such as laser-induced firing, super multi-busbar, light-redirecting film, and double-layer coating glass to enhance module power output and reliability. Join us to explore the latest advances in module technology and how they can improve module performance and learn about the economic advantage of rectangular-wafer modules and their benefits at a system level.
