JA Solar says the output power of its solar modules made up of an assembly of 60 multi-crystalline silicon cells has reached a new record of above 280W.
This new power output record has been independently confirmed and certified by TUV Rheinland of Germany’s Shanghai Testing Centre. This means a record high of over 17.2% conversion efficiency for the PV panels, which consist of 60 regular industrial size multi-Si cells, and using a single junction box.
JA Solar president Jian Xie attributed its new record achievement to continuing R&D efforts.
“This new milestone once again demonstrates JA Solar’s devotion in enabling cost-effectively manufacturing high-performance solar cells and modules to meet the growing demand for high-performance solar power products,” Jan Xie said.
Additionally, the output power of the solar modules can be further improved by fine-tuning the module assembly process and encapsulation methods, which could allow for at least another five watts increase.
