This paper systematically investigates the Cell-to-Module (CTM) ratio of Back Contact (BC) solar cells during module encapsulation, an innovative and increasingly critical research focus in the photovoltaic industry. By comparing the CTM loss factors of dual-sided solar cell modules and BC solar cell modules, this study clarifies the compatibility differences between crystalline silicon solar cells and advanced encapsulation materials as well as interconnection technologies.

A complete guide to BC (Back Contact) solar cells, including structure, working principles, comparison with PERC, TOPCon, HJT, advantages, industrial progress, and future trends in photovoltaic technology.

This article explains the basic principles, key process types, advantages, limitations, and application scenarios of PVD, CVD, and ALD, helping readers clearly understand their core characteristics and suitable use cases in thin film fabrication.

New research reveals that SmartWire busbarless solar modules using low-temperature solder may suffer up to 9% power loss in hot climates due to weak solder-to-gridline contact. Current IEC tests may not fully detect this risk.

Monwing Technology sets a new global benchmark with a 760Wh/kg lithium metal battery, doubling electric aircraft range and enabling next-gen eVTOLs. Explore their breakthrough in energy density, safety, and industrial scalability.

Electroluminescence (EL) testing is an advanced method used to examine the inner health of solar panels without damaging them. This article is designed for high school students and explores the concept of EL testing with a special focus on portable EL devices. You’ll learn how EL works, why it’s used, and the difference between lab and field testing. 

EL testing is a non-destructive method used to detect tiny, invisible defects in solar panels—such as micro-cracks, broken cell connections, or degraded materials—that can't be seen with the naked eye. Traditionally, EL testing was done in darkrooms or labs, requiring panels to be moved from the field. But now, with the help of drones, this high-tech inspection method can be performed directly on-site, even in massive solar farms.
