Solar Frontier Module Efficiency

Solar frontier s sf145 170 powermodules s series offers the highest conversion efficiency of any mass produced thin film module up to 13 8.

Solar frontier module efficiency. Norwegian brand founded in 1996 with over 34 million solar panels manufactured worldwide and with over 8 7 gigawatts produced and powering nearly 17 million people s homes. This is done by capturing the electrical current generated when sunshine interacts with the solar cells in the panel and is transferred through the wiring and busbars to be converted into ac alternating current energy. Many model calculations for solar power installations based on conventional module technologies assume optimum conditions with the sun high in the sky no clouds a clear atmosphere no shadows moderate. All solar frontier modules are produced in japan based on a legacy of over 40 years experience in the pv industry.

Tokyo june 18 201 3 solar frontier s latest champion module from its flagship kunitomi plant in miyazaki japan has achieved 14 6 conversion efficiency. In addition to the submodule record solar frontier also achieved another world efficiency record of 19 8 on a 7cm 5cm sized cis thin film mini module iii. Solar frontier achieves thin film solar cell efficiency of 22 9 4 apr 2014 solar frontier sets thin film pv world record with 20 9 cis cell.

Nrel maintains a chart of the highest confirmed conversion efficiencies for champion modules for a range of photovoltaic technologies plotted from 1988 to the present. Solar panel efficiency is a measurement of how much of the sun s energy a certain panel can convert into usable electricity. All modules are rohs compliant and cadmium and lead free. Champion photovoltaic module efficiency chart.

Sunpower modules are the most efficient of the industry and the highest efficiency solar panel of the brand is x series. Solar frontier s cis technology is also more efficient than other thin film modules such as tandem amorphous or microamorphous modules. This result was independently verified by the fraunhofer institute for solar energy systems ise and significantly exceeds the previous world record for all thin film solar cell mini.
