INDUSTRY’S FIRST With the certifications in hand, Hanwha Q Cells will likely pull ahead of Chinese rivals – LONGi, JinkoSolar and JA Solar – by one to two years in tandem technology, according to industry observers.“To Qcells’ knowledge, this is the first report of tandem modules passing these stress tests, considering tandem-specific restrictions on power measurement, so this is truly a pivotal moment for tandem solar technology,” Danielle Merfeld, global chief technology officer at Qcells, said in a press statement released on May 14.“Qcells’ breakthrough marks a critical step towards commercial readiness.” The tested tandem module pairs the company’s proprietary perovskite technology on the top layer with its cost-efficient Q.
Hanwha Q Cells Co., the solar panel manufacturing unit of South Korea's Hanwha Solutions Corp., is expected to commercialize tandem modules by 2027, after recently securing international certification, in a move to outpace Chinese rivals in next-generation solar technology.
A GAME CHANGER IN SOLAR TECHNOLOGYTouted as a game changer in the solar energy industry, tandem technology stacks traditional silicon photovoltaic cells and perovskite cells together, enabling the module to capture a wider range of the solar spectrum than conventional silicon cells and to increase energy efficiency.
