The features of this new generation of these All Back Contact modules include innovative approaches to optimising behaviour in the event of partial shading. Tests by TÜV Nord show that the ABC modules deliver 30 per cent more power than conventional technologies, even with a completely shaded cell.
Interview: "We will soon reach 500 watts of output for solar modules"
According to the manufacturer, the new ABC modules also have the advantage of temperature limitation: a reliably lower module temperature enables higher efficiency and reduces the risk of fire. In addition, the modules offer other features such as an improved temperature coefficient of minus 0.26 per cent per degree Celsius, lower degradation of less than one per cent in the first year and 0.35 per cent annually up to the 30th year of operation.
