66M HJT All Black Module | Heterojunction solar cells consist of a monocrystalline silicon cell placed between two layers of thin-film silicon. This combination of different cell technologies results in three total layers that allow for the absorption of additional photons and higher levels of efficiency. These modules promise to deliver what the residential market requires – better aesthetics, higher durability, and increased performance. Heterojunction modules have proven to be more efficient and durable, with a great potential for lower costs per unit of energy (kWh). Not only does the end result provide a much superior product, the cell manufacturing process requires less steps, leading to potential cost savings as manufacturing volumes increase. One key advancement worth noting is the incorporation of micro-wire technology instead of traditional busbars, which results in improved durability and higher performance in heterojunction cells. Micro-wires also help to reduce shading by as much as 25% compared to busbars.
