More reliability and higher performance for your solar system - with half-cell solar modules (half-cut solar cells)

What is Halfcut Technology?

Half-cell solar modules (half-cut modules) are photovoltaic modules that consist of halved solar cells. This generation of solar cells offers advanced features and benefits.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE) has found that half-cell modules achieve 2-3% more power than modules with conventional full cells, even though they are made of the same material.

Unlike a normal solar cell (full cell), the reduction in size in half cells results in a lower current intensity. The division of the solar cells reduces the amperage per solar cell by half.

The mathematical formula provides the exact power loss of solar cells. This is reduced by the half-cut technology - a significant advantage that is demonstrated here.

(The power losses in a half-cell module decrease by a factor of four, since the power loss is calculated from the product of the line resistance and the square of the current.)

Solar modules with lower power losses are more efficient and thus achieve higher solar yields.
