BEIJING, April 22, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Jiangsu Seraphim Solar System Co., Ltd. (Seraphim), a world-class solar product

manufacturer in China, rolled out its new 166mm half-cut cell module on April

22, redefining a new generation of photovoltaic (PV) modules combining

166mm-size silicon wafers with multi-busbar (MBB) and half-cut cell technology.

According to Seraphim, the new 166mm half-cut cell module has an efficiency of

20 percent and a maximum power output of 445W.

The new product has superior performance in both efficiency and reliability.

The MBB technology enhances the cell's performance, while the half-cut cell

technology reduces mismatches, internal power losses, cracking, and hot spots,

improving the overall conversion efficiency by more than five percent.

The bifacial series are capable of converting energy from incident light and

diffused light on the front side, while converting energy from reflected light

and scattered light on rear sides. Thus these modules have higher yield and

superior low irradiance performance. Seraphim managed to improve the module

bifaciality rate up to 70 +/- 5 percent, resulting in a theoretical maximum

power of 579W, which can significantly reduce a project's LCOE.

Under different ground conditions, the bifacial 166mm half-cut cell module can

increase electricity output by 10 percent to 30 percent compared to the

single-array module (2-7 percent more generation on asphalt ground, 5-10

percent more generation on lawn, and 10-30 percent more generation on aluminum

foil).

Due to the significant improvement in efficiency, the application of the new

166mm half-cut cell module can significantly reduce levelized cost of

electricity (LCOE), balance of systems (BOS) costs, EPC (Engineering

Procurement Construction) costs, and land costs, in large industrial,

commercial and ground power stations.

Compared to ordinary modules, the new 166mm half-cut cell module can save at

least five percent of the cost per watt in projects above 1MW. It is expected

to be a strong competitor in the power market.

"Seraphim has rich and unique experience in module research and development,

manufacturing, and technology," said Polaris Li, president of Seraphim.

"The new 166mm half-cut cell module has been strictly controlled by dozens of

links from the selection of raw materials to the design, development and

testing. We believe the introduction of the new 166mm half-cut cell module will

bring new breakthroughs to the development of the industry," Li added.
