The industry is in a transition period from mono P-type PERC technology modules to N-type. For this year, the “workhorse” of the industry is mono P-type PERC, Schulze says, of which JA Solar was exhibiting a broad range at SNEC 2023. At the same time, the manufacturer is exhibiting N-type modules based on two technologies: tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) and heterojunction technology (HJT).
