Half cut 350W Mono Solar Panel

Half-cut Mono Solar Panel

Half cut cell modules are a newer technique for manufacturing solar modules that uses either mono-crystalline or polycrystalline cells. In recent times customers have seen a new technology employed in bifacial cells that provide increased efficiencies of the installed system. The half-cut cells too are also a newer technology that result in increased efficiencies and hence the power output of the solar panel system. Half-cut solar cells, in keeping with their name, are traditional silicon solar cells that have been cut in half using a laser cutter. Cutting a cell into half increases the efficiency of the system as the electrical resistance loss on the entire module is reduced. Half-cut solar cells are known to display power output up to 5 to 8 W per module, depending on their design and cell type. What is exactly ‘half cut ‘ cell Conventionally, a solar PV module has multiple solar cells that are assembled to create a system of a pre-defined wattage. In half cut solar module, the cells are cut in the halves using laser and placed together to create the module as per a desired watt. For example, instead of having 60 solar cells, 120 half sized ones will be used.  An additional benefit of half cut panels is that they are better at handling shading losses than their traditional counterparts because of the way they are internally wired together.
