TOPCon’s advantages include higher efficiency, improved energy yield and significantly lower levelised cost of energy (LCOE). Image: JTPV
The solar industry is undergoing a monumental shift, rapidly moving away from passivated emitter and rear contact (PERC) technology to tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) technology.
The advantages of TOPCon are clear: higher efficiency, improved energy yield, and significantly lower levelised cost of energy (LCOE) from reduced cabling, land, trackers and labour costs.
PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell) and Topcon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) solar panels have some differences. PERC panels use a passivation layer on the rear of the cell to improve efficiency,.
while Topcon panels use a different technology with a tunnel oxide passivated contact structure. Topcon panels typically offer higher efficiency potential and better temperature coefficient performance compared to PERC panels. However, both technologies are widely used in the solar industry.
Which one is better depends on specific application requirements and conditions. Do you have any other questions about solar panels?
