Wuxi Suntech providing half-cut cell modules to European customers

摘要

China-based integrated PV module manufacturer Wuxi Suntech Power Co has started supplying high-performance multicrystalline half-cut cell modules to European customers, offering power classes of 295/290W. The addition of the half-cut multi c-Si cell technology comes on the back of production in 2017 of its in-house developed metal assisted chemical etching (MACE) texturing process (black silicon) for diamond wire sawing, which was claimed to provide an absolute efficiency gain of up to 0.3%, compared with the additive direct texturing process.
