Gautam Solar is set to showcase its next-generation N-type TOPCon Solar Panels at Intersolar Europe 2024. The event, scheduled to take place from June 19th to 21st at Messe München Centre, will witness Gautam Solar’s latest innovations at Booth No. A1.509.
The company’s new line of solar panels boasts a power range of 580 Wp to 590 Wp and features 144 half-cut cells with an impressive maximum efficiency of up to 22.84%. These high-efficiency panels are crafted using a blend of pioneering German technology, originally developed by Fraunhofer ISE, and advanced manufacturing techniques at Gautam Solar’s Indian facilities. Designed for commercial and industrial (C&I) as well as utility-scale projects, these panels are an ideal choice for developers and EPC companies.
A standout feature of these bifacial panels is their ability to generate additional power from the rear side, enhancing output by 10% to 30% compared to traditional monofacial panels, depending on installation and weather conditions. The panels measure 2278 mm × 1134 mm × 35 mm and employ Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact (TOPCon) technology to surpass the efficiency limits of Passivation Emitter Rear Contact (PERC) technology.
Gautam Mohanka, CEO of Gautam Solar, elaborated on the advantages of the Glass-to-Glass (G2G) configuration over the Glass-to-Backsheet (G2B) setup. “Using the G2G structure allows us to provide a 30-year performance warranty, compared to the standard 25-year warranty for G2B panels. The G2G structure, with 2.0 mm glass on both sides, offers superior mechanical load handling and abrasion resistance, prevents the formation of micro-cracks, and protects cells from degradation caused by moisture, salt mist, and Potential-Induced Degradation (PID).”
Mohanka further emphasised the suitability of these panels for the European market, which experiences harsh weather conditions including heavy snowfall and high wind speeds. “Our panels, certified according to European (EN/CE) and global standards (UL and IEC), are an excellent fit for developers and EPC companies seeking to transition away from cheap Chinese solar panels that are saturating the market.”
