Half cells modules are created by cutting standard solar panels in half, resulting in 120 or 144 half-cut cells, while maintaining the same design and dimensions as conventional modules.
Half-cut cells are typically produced using laser cutting technology. The standard solar cells are cut into two identical half-cells along the direction perpendicular to the main grid lines. These half-cells are then connected in series through welding.
By utilizing half-cut cells, we can achieve higher module efficiency and improved performance.With half the current and double the voltage compared to standard modules, the electrical resistance remains unchanged. This means that we can generate more power while minimizing energy losses.
Similar to conventional modules, half-cut cells are encapsulated using tempered glass, EVA, and a backsheet. This ensures durability and protection against external factors.
Apple-to-Apple Temperature measured in R&D PV system in Oct.2017, Half-cell module is around ~2 degrees lower.

Shading loss of half-cell is much better than normal module in certain shading conditions.
