Jiangsu Seraphim Solar System Co., Ltd. (Seraphim), a world-class solar product manufacturer in China, rolled out its new 166mm half-cut cell module on April 22, redefining a new generation of photovoltaic (PV) modules combining 166mm-size silicon wafers with multi-busbar (MBB) and half-cut cell technology.

The new 166mm half-cut cell module has an efficiency of 20 percent and a maximum power output of 445W.

The new product has superior performance in both efficiency and reliability. The MBB technology enhances the cell’s performance, while the half-cut cell technology reduces mismatches, internal power losses, cracking, and hot spots, improving the overall conversion efficiency by more than five percent.

The bifacial series are capable of converting energy from incident light and diffused light on the front side, while converting energy from reflected light and scattered light on rear sides. Thus these modules have higher yield and superior low irradiance performance. We managed to improve the module bifaciality rate up to 70 ± 5%, resulting in a theoretical maximum power of 579W, which can significantly reduce a project’s LCOE.

Under different ground conditions, the bifacial 166mm half-cut cell module can increase electricity output by 10 percent to 30 percent compared to the single-array module (2-7% more generation on asphalt ground, 5-10% more generation on lawn, and 10-30% more generation on aluminum foil).

Due to the significant improvement in efficiency, the application of the new 166mm half-cut cell module can significantly reduce levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), balance of systems (BOS) costs, EPC (Engineering Procurement Construction) costs, and land costs, in large industrial, commercial and ground power stations.

Compared to ordinary modules, the new 166mm half-cut cell module can save at least five percent of the cost per watt in projects above 1MW. It is expected to be a strong competitor in the power market.

“Seraphim has rich and unique experience in module research and development, manufacturing, and technology,” said Polaris Li, president of Seraphim.

“The new 166mm half-cut cell module has been strictly controlled by dozens of links from the selection of raw materials to the design, development and testing. We believe the introduction of the new166mm half-cut cell module will bring new breakthroughs to the development of the industry,” Li added.

Founded in 2011, Seraphim is specialized in research, development, production, and sales of solar PV products. So far, more than 8GW Seraphim’s products have been installed in over 40 countries worldwide.

Jiangsu Seraphim Solar System Co., Ltd. (Seraphim), one of the world’s leading solar module manufacturers, recently announced that it has signed an agreement with ERS Energy Sdn Bhd (“ERS”), one of the most influential EPC service providers, to deliver 183 Megawatts of high efficiency solar modules for projects in the Philippines.

Co-developed by AC Energy Inc., the energy platform of Ayala Corporation, ERS Energy Sdn Bhd as the EPC contractor and Seraphim as the module provider, the solar farm projects are set to be located in Alaminos, Laguna, and Gigasol, Zambales.

Mr. Jonathan Kan the Managing Director of ERS Energy Sdn Bhd commented, “Seraphim and ERS have maintained an excellent cooperation for many years. We are impressed by Seraphim’s passion and professionalism in the solar industry, which makes them an ideal partner. We are determined to join hands to deliver high quality, safe and reliable products to our customers.”

The projects will be using Seraphim’s monocrystalline 158.75mm half-cell PERC modules. Seraphim incorporates innovative design features. Half-cell modules have lower current and series resistance, minimizing mismatch losses, internal power losses, and shadow effects. The high output of half-cell modules will maximize power generation on a constrained land area, significantly saving costs for large-scale power plants.

“We are pleased to sign this supply agreement with ERS Energy, the EPC Contractor for these projects, further strengthening our long-term strategic relationship and enabling us to maintain our leading position in the Philippines market,” said Mr. Polaris Li, president of Seraphim. “We strive to support the Philippines to meet its renewable energy goals by utilizing our years of experience and leading-edge technology advantages.”

Seraphim has begun enhancing its presence in Philippine market since 2016, and the 183MW Modules delivery would add another milestone to the company’s product current portfolio in the region including Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam.

Today, Seraphim is ranked as a Top Performer in the 2020 PV Module Reliability Scorecard, released by PVEL in partnership with DNV GL.

A product of the world’s leading independent lab, PVEL’s PV Module Reliability Scorecard is recognized as one of the most comprehensive publicly available comparisons of PV module reliability test results. This is the third time that Seraphim has garnered this prestigious recognition, which demonstrates its excellent product performance.

ce President of North America for Seraphim, Jim Wood, discussed the innovation logic and quality control of Seraphim’s high efficiency modules in the interview with Tristan Erion-Lorico, Head of Module Business at PVEL. Jim said: “We have over 300 quality check points that we go through on every module that is manufactured in real time. You can actually log on to our website and see your module made in real time, where you get to see the three EL test images of the modules, you get to see what the flash data looks like, you get to see what was the temperature of the back sheet when it was installed onto the back of the module. That’s all available on our website. If you log in as a customer, they are very neat.”
