Can N-type modules conquer the project market?

For some time, N-type modules have been a marker on manufacturer’s roadmaps as a promising technology just over the horizon, but now their time has come. While the efficiency of the predominant P-type cells can only be increased with difficulty, some manufacturers already offer N-type modules that promise lower degradation, higher yield and a higher bifaciality factor than their P-type counterparts.

But just because a technology is promising doesn’t mean it’s practical. Is it worthwhile for investors to rely on N-type for their large-scale projects, or is the technology just short-term hype?

In this pv magazine Webinar, we will learn about the factors that have led to JinkoSolar’s decision to switch to N-type cells, Jinko’s N-type expansion plans, planned products, and the company’s transition strategy.

Presenter Roberto Murgioni, Head of Technical Service & Product Management at JinkoSolar Europe, will dive into his first-hand experience on how the implementation of the technology in the production processes in China is progressing, what opportunities there are, the differences in technology, and the purposes for which N-type modules are suitable.

Roberto will also provide the comparison between P-type and the currently best performing N-type modules and calculate the impact on the life cycle costs.

pv magazine Webinar content:

• Brief introduction to N-type photovoltaics, the main differences between the technologies
• Differences between the variants available on the market: N-type TopCon, Mono PERT and Bifacial
• How N-type modules avoid LID and LeTID
• Life cycle costs and purposes of use
• Looking into the future: market development and cost reduction potential
• Q&A

Questions can be submitted beforehand or during the webinar through a chat window. Tim Sylvia from pv magazine will be the moderator of this webinar.
