Maxeon, a solar technology company based in Singapore, has achieved a significant milestone with the improved efficiency of their flagship Maxeon 7 photovoltaic panel. These panels have achieved an impressive aperture module conversion efficiency of 24.9%, marking a significant advancement in solar technology. The impressive results have been tested and verified by the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
The technology behind this achievement is IEC-Certified interdigitated back contact (IBC). It plays a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency of these solar cells. Moreover, these cells have been carefully designed to minimize the potential hazards of cell cracking and overheating. As such these are particularly witnessed in shaded environments. This design enhances the panel’s efficiency and adds to its reliability. The company’s extensive 40-year warranty reinforces this assertion.
In the Philippines, Maxeon runs an assembly line solely for the production of these Maxeon 7 panels. As Maxeon claims 24.9% efficiency for IBC solar panel, it showcases the company’s dedication to being at the forefront of the solar energy industry in terms of efficiency and durability.
