Demand for N-type is coming from solar farm developers who use the N-type bi-facial modules in conjunction with solar tracker mounting. These users are targeting maximum efficiency and benefit from N-type bifacial cell technology, as the technology improves efficiency on both the front and back sides of the panels.
N-type allows for better ‘bi-faciality’. With Trina Solar’s recent world record, the cell used achieved more than 80% ‘bi-faciality’, meaning that the back side of the cell could add additional generation of over 80% of what was on the front side of the cell. This is much higher than with more traditional p-type technology.
N-Type technology shines in this regard, offering remarkable resistance to common degradation mechanisms that affect solar cells. Light Induced Degradation (LID) and Potential Induced Degradation (PID) are two phenomena that can significantly reduce the performance of P-Type solar cells over time.
N-type solar cells are less prone to metallic impurities and other defects, such as boron-oxygen defects. The cells are more immune to light induced degradation (LID) and have superior performance at higher temperatures. N-type also promises greater and more reliable efficiency in the long run, as well as longer power warranties.
N-type technology has emerged as a competitive field where both new and established players are vying for market share. The N-type capacity is set to propel the industry into a high-efficiency N-type era.
N-Type technology revolutionizes solar cells with higher efficiency, reduced degradation, and stability, promising superior performance and sustainability in solar energy applications.
