Navitas Solar, a Surat based module manufacturing brand in India with manufacturing capacity of 2 GW p.a. launched its latest next generation N-Type TOPCon modules at The Smarter E India – Intersolar India 2024.
N-type TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contacts) technology is a new method in module manufacturing that helps to enhance the efficiency of solar panels that is essentially the next generation of PERC. TOPCon is a technology that involves adding a very thin layer of silicon dioxide (sio2) and a layer of phosphorus-doped polycrystalline silicon, which is done to create passivated contact structures on both front and the back surfaces. This additional layer helps to reduce losses and improve the extraction of carriers by using passivated contact structures on both the front and back surfaces.
These panels can continue generating power for a longer period. Additionally, TOPCon cells have better conversion efficiency, which means they can potentially lower the cost of manufacturing per watt. TOPCon solar panels have a low power degradation rate in the first year of operation and for the next 30 years too.
Utilizing bifacial technology is one of the unique features of Navitas Solar’s N-Type TOPCon. The module’s ability to receive sunlight from both the front and backsides greatly increases its energy yield and overall efficiency. Navitas N-Type TOPCon Solar Modules offer power from 560 watts to 630 watts per panel. These modules offer efficiency >22 per cent with higher power generation and reliable characteristics resistance.
Ankit Singhania, Director, Sales – Procurement & Co-founder, Navitas Solar, said, “We are delighted to introduce our next generation Navitas N-Type TOPCon in our portfolio with our expanded manufacturing capacity of 2 GW p.a. With 144 & 156 half-cells & 16 bus bars available in 3.2 mm ARC Glass with transparent back sheet & 2 mm in glass-to-glass combinations, our latest technology modules can generate power from 560 watts to 630 watts per panel offering module efficiency >22 per cent. This innovative addition has the potential to completely reinvent the solar industry in the upcoming years with its high performance and superior technology.”
“We believe Intersolar 2024 is the perfect venue for Navitas Solar to introduce our new module series because it will be the hub of conversations about the most recent developments in the solar industry. With this development, we are sure that Navitas Solar will establish new standards in the solar industry and we believe that Navitas N-type TOPCon modules will be the choice of consumers in the upcoming years,” he added.
