20-percent efficiency P-type solar cell enters mass production
JA Solar has achieved an average conversion efficiency of 20.4% for the PERCIUM solar cell.
The 6×10 PERCIUM cells module, which has reached an average power rating of 285 W, has seen preparations for mass production only take three months since the new product release early in 2014. The module is expected to reach an average power rating of 290 W by the end of 2014.
Early in 2014, JA Solar launched the 6×10 PERCIUM cells module in Japanese, British, Israeli, Chinese and German markets.
To meet the increasing demands of customers, JA Solar has completed preparations for mass production within a short time and will continue to expand the capacity of PERCIUM solar cells. Currently, the company has one PERCIUM solar cell production line and will have four this October. The company expects to have eight in 2015. The capacity of PERCIUM solar cells is expected to reach 170 MW by the end of this year and 350 MW in 2015.
"High conversion efficiency can bring about low system cost per Watt, which means low BOS, transportation, installation and land cost," said Mr. Yong Liu, chief operation officer of JA Solar. "The PERCIUM solar cell uses Passivated backside and local BSF technology to ensure excellent low-light performance of PERCIUM cells module. High cost performance on the system side can help to reduce the cost of power per KWH."
