Black solar module using half cells

The sharp NU-JC320B has 120 half cells, a rated output of 320 watts and a guaranteed positive output tolerance of up to five per cent. As in the NU-JC320B, the frame and rear foil have been finished entirely in black.

The power generated per half cell is 50 per cent compared to a full cell while the resistance loss is reduced to a quarter. This ultimately increases the energy yield. Due to the lower current, the cell temperature is significantly lower. This reduces the risk of hot-spot effects and increases the service life of the module. The half-cell module has three small junction boxes, each containing a bypass diode. This means that less heat is transferred to the cells above, which increases the overall performance and durability of the modules. (mfo)
