Finnish technology company Intelligent Control Systems has conceived a light redirecting film that purportedly reduces energy losses in the edge area of heterojunction solar cells. It claims the film may increase the power conversion efficiency of a heterojunction module by up to 0.75%.<\/p>\n

Finland-based Intelligent<\/span> Control<\/span> Systems<\/span> Ltd.<\/span> has presented a new light redirecting film that is reportedly able to improve the power yield of a heterojunction (HJT) solar panel by 3.8%<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Called Solar<\/span> Energy<\/span> Optics<\/span> (SEO)<\/span>, the patented film is able, according to the manufacturer, to reduce losses<\/span> in<\/span> the<\/span> edge<\/span> area of heterojunction solar cells. \u201cBy applying the SEO film to the inside of the HJT module front glass, light is redirected from the less efficient edges into the more efficient regions of the cells,\u201d the company said in a statement. <\/span><\/p>\n

The new product is still not available for sale. \u201cWe have just entered into pilot production phase with our latest SEO film generation,\u201d the company’s CEO, Keimo Kalliosaari, told pv magazine<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Fraunhofer<\/span> Institute<\/span> for<\/span> Solar<\/span> Energy <\/span>Systems (Fraunhofer ISE) tested the film on several panels based on different two different SEO configurations and M6 half-cut HJT solar cells with 1.7 mm cells and 2 mm string gaps. \u201cThe solar cells in the test were used out-of-the-box, without any additional modification or sorting,\u201d the company specified. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to Intelligent Control Systems, the test showed that the modules with the two different SEO architectures saw their power conversion efficiency increase by 0.66% and 0.75%, respectively, which it said corresponds to a 3.3<\/span> %<\/span> and<\/span> 3.8<\/span> %<\/span> growth in power yield. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe<\/span> results<\/span> show<\/span> that<\/span> the <\/span>application<\/span> of<\/span> SEO<\/span> film<\/span> to<\/span> a<\/span> 120<\/span> or<\/span> 144<\/span>\u2013<\/span>cell<\/span> module,<\/span> with<\/span> 2<\/span> mm<\/span> cell<\/span> gaps<\/span> and<\/span> a<\/span> white<\/span> backsheet,<\/span> c<\/span>an<\/span> provide<\/span> an<\/span> efficiency<\/span> boost<\/span> of<\/span> 2.6<\/span> %<\/span> relative<\/span> improvement,<\/span> or<\/span> two <\/span>power<\/span> classes,\u201d the manufacturer stated.<\/span> \u201cAs<\/span> an<\/span> improvement<\/span> on<\/span> transparent<\/span> bifacial<\/span> modules<\/span> or<\/span> alternative<\/span> to <\/span>the<\/span> gapless<\/span> solution<\/span> currently<\/span> applied<\/span> by<\/span> some<\/span> module<\/span> manufacturers,<\/span> the<\/span> efficiency<\/span> gains<\/span> can<\/span> exceed<\/span> 3.5<\/span>%.\u201d<\/p>\n
