Grid Parity, a leading Chinese manufacturer of glass-glass modules, has introduced an advanced solar module specifically tailored for agrivoltaic systems.
Grid Parity’s New Glass-Glass Module for Agrivoltaic Applications
Grid Parity’s latest transparent module for agrivoltaics boasts a 2 mm glass-glass frame. Utilizing 144 half-cut busbar solar cells and monocrystalline PERC technology, this module generates 550 W of power with an impressive 20.5% efficiency, performing admirably even in low-light conditions.
Grid Parity’s innovative module is engineered with diverse voltage and current specifications, catering to various energy requirements. It features an open-circuit voltage of 49.05 V, a short-circuit current of 14.06 A, a maximum power voltage of 40.56 V, and a maximum power current of 13.57 A. These specifications ensure optimal performance across different applications.
Grid Parity’s Advanced Glass-Glass Module Design Features
The new module is built to endure extreme temperatures ranging from -40 to 85 C, with a temperature coefficient of -0.36% per degree Celsius. The module measures 2,278 mm by 1,133 mm by 35 mm and weighs 33.9 kg, enclosed in an anodized aluminum alloy frame for enhanced durability.
A key feature of the module is its transparent backsheet, allowing 25% light transmittance, which ensures sufficient sunlight reaches the crops beneath, making it particularly suitable for agrivoltaic applications.
Grid Parity offers a robust 12-year product warranty and a 30-year power output warranty, promising reliable long-term performance. The power output is guaranteed to be at least 97.5% of the initial power in the first year, with an expected retention of 87.4% of the original power after 30 years.
