Half-cut solar cell technology is a new and improved design applied to conventional crystalline silicon solar modules. In simple terms, the difference between this and conventional panels is a change in design. Half-cut solar panels distribute twice as many cells in the same area as conventional modules. This means that there are twice as many solar arrays in a module, with half-cut solar cells having half the width, but keeping the panels the same area. This effectively increases the local shading tolerance. The advantage of this is that when a solar panel is accidentally shaded by leaves or something else, the fact that the half-cut solar panel has two cups of silicon means that there will be less loss in the individual areas of the shaded area compared to a conventional solar panel. As a result, the loss in power generation efficiency of solar panels using the half-cut process is significantly reduced. Even this loss may be directly reduced by half. The main difference between this process and halving solar cells or adding substrings is that each cell generates less current, thus reducing losses and increasing tolerance to partial shading. In summary, this technology improves the performance and durability of solar modules by reducing the power losses in standard PV modules and reducing the power losses associated with conventional panels.
