China-based Trinasolar on March 28 said it has developed the world’s first industrial-standard solar photovoltaic (PV) module that delivers more than 800 watts of power.
Trinasolar CEO Gao Jifan called the technology a “monumental breakthrough for perovskite/silicon tandem solar modules and a key milestone in PV technology.”
High-efficiency tandem modules have been attracting interest as conventional silicon-based solar cell efficiency nears its theoretical limit, the company said in a news release.
Trinasolar’s module was tested, inspected and certified by TÜV SÜD. The 3.1-sq-m module was made with perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells, according to the release.
“The successful development of the world’s first 808W perovskite/silicon tandem solar module with a 210mm industrial-standard size is a significant step toward the industrialization of tandem modules,” Jifan said. “This achievement also reinforces Trinasolar's leadership in PV innovation.”
