Panasonic, which has less than 1GW of cell and module capacity and significantly less than LG and JinkoSolar, said that it would be making its N Series PV module series ‘HIT’ (Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin layer)  N325/N330 (96-cell), AC module available to US distributors with the 320W Enphase IQ 7X microinverter from May 2018 onwards.

The IQ 7X Micro will support 96-cell PV modules up to 400W with peak AC output power of 320W and a Maximum Power Point (MPP) tracking range of 53-64V.  Image: Enphase Energy

“The N series PV Modules are manufactured for peak performance, making them an ideal partner for the Enphase IQ 7X Microinverter,” noted Mukesh Sethi, group manager, Panasonic Residential Solar Group. “With a unique heterojunction technology and advanced bifacial cells, these high efficiency panels offer homeowners state-of-the-art features and maximum solar production.”

The IQ 7X Micro will support 96-cell PV modules up to 400W with peak AC output power of 320W and a Maximum Power Point (MPP) tracking range of 53-64V.
