Energetica presents the first European gapless PV module.

 

With the presentation of gapless technology in photovoltaic module construction, the Austrian producer Energetica Industries is once again one of the pioneers and technology leaders in the industry worldwide. E.gapless m hc reaches an output of up to 425 watts peak and an efficiency of up to 21.4 percent – and that using the 60-cell format.

 

132 photovoltaic half cells – instead of 60 full cells as with standard modules – but in almost the same format in combination with future-oriented 12 busbar technology for current diversion from the cells make the e.Gapless M HC one of the most powerful and, with an efficiency of up to 21.4 percent, the most efficient solar modules in its class.

The higher module efficiency is achieved by eliminating the cell gaps in the cell strings. In this way, the module surface is optimally used and between 400 and 425 watt peak module output is achieved.

A slightly overlapping arrangement of the cells in the string makes it possible to optimize the use of the module area, to accommodate two additional rows of six half-cells each and to further increase efficiency.

Gapless technology is another important innovation in PV module construction and Energetica is thus part of the technical avant-garde of premium manufacturers. As a clean and efficient energy source, European photovoltaic modules are one of the pillars of sustainable, renewable energy supply in Europe.

Of course, the e.Gapless M HC is equipped with e.ISP® and the innovative stacking and packaging system e.STAK®, e.Gapless M HC will be available from the fourth quarter of 2021
