i. 4ºC lower NOCTii. Less prone to hotspots – PCB = heat sinkiii. Almost no FF lossiv. TCT test supreme to any other modules
Module reliability advantages
i. Production platform for MWT today and IBC & HJ-BC cells tomorrow
ii. 1 time cell handling instead of 7 times, resulting in higher yield and fewer (micro)cracks
iii. 4 operators needed for front-end assembly instead of 12
iv. High throughput in one line: up to 90 modules/hour
v. Upgradeable equipment
vi. Inbuilt inspection steps for quality monitoring
vii. Long equipment autonomy
viii. Suitable for half cell mfg
Production advantages
