First introduced in 1989, PERC panels are modified silicon cells that have an additional layer on the back. Because this extra layer is reflective, it is able to send unused light back across the n-type and p-type junctions to generate more energy.
PERC is only one of the available technologies to improve efficiency and applications for solar panels. There are other advanced technologies like Interdigitated Back Contact (IBC) and Bifacial Solar Cell (BSC) technology. Manufacturers can use either one or even combine PERC with IBC or BSC.
If you have any questions, please contact us. Conventional silicon photovoltaic (PV) cells have long been the standard in the solar industry. But as the technology matures and approaches hard efficiency limits, researchers and manufacturers have started to embrace a relative newcomer — the Passivated Emitter and Rear Contact (PERC) solar cell.
This design reduces shading and resistive losses, allowing for better current flow and improved overall efficiency. P-type PERC solar cells use boron-doped silicon wafers, forming a P-N junction with a negatively charged N-type layer on top.
Performance Comparison of n-type and p-type Bifacial Cells on Module Level Modules with higher efficiency n-type cells have higher power ratio in terms of outdoor energy generation,
