Silfab Solar, a solar panel maker located in Toronto, Canada, is raising the bar on renewable energy with the n-type bifacial solar panels. The n-type bifacial solar panels are complex and allowing for an efficiency of as much as 22.92% which are aided by large size solar systems whose size range extends to high power output with consistent performance in all-weather variations.
Silfab’s enhanced bifacial panels: Consistent energy output even when partially shaded
Silfab’s Utility NTC 620-640 XL bifacial panels come in different power outputs that range from 620 Watts to 640 Watts, with an efficiency rating of nearly 23 percent. This high performance is made possible by the new generation of N-type solar cells, which allow Silfab panels to generate a higher figure for electrical output per square foot of the surface area compared to the conventional panels.
Such an aspect is highly useful for commercial solar energy projects, where the areas available for installation are relatively compact yet requires a lot of energy output. In addition, Silfab’s bifacial panels come with an enhanced shade tolerance capability meaning the panels can serve their purpose efficiently even when the whole panel is not in full view of the sun or in gloomy atmosphere.
Such a capability is useful in places where the panels are likely to get operated being occluded from direct exposure in a quarter of the azimuthal plane by for instance trees or a bank of clouds and thus allow dependable power generation in such states.
Solar power solutions by Silfab: Design for endurance and maximum performance
Within the new design of the panels built by Silfab, durability takes precedence. The panels have an IP68 enclosure grade that protects against dust and water. To create sturdiness in the design, a 3.2 mm thick anti-reflective top glass is incorporated which offers optimal sun rays directly to the solar cells while minimizing the glare from the glass surface.
Moreover, the clear back sheet is designed in such a way that it lets in sunlight also from the back capturing light that is reflected from objects around, hence more energy is harvested. Because of these reasons, Silfab’s panels exhibit high conversion efficiency even when the weather is not favorable with the temperature coefficient of -0.29%/°C facilitating the same.
This coefficient specifies that the panels’ efficiency is not affected by different weather conditions, and this efficiency performance is very important especially for solar farms that are installed in areas with different climate conditions.
Maximum efficiency guarantee: Silfab panels show output decrease of less than 11% even after 30 years
Silfab provides robust warranties for its Utility series panels, thus portraying its absolute assurance in the longevity and performance of the product. To be sure, the panels have 25 years of product warranty and a 30-year linear power output warranty during which it is assured that the power output will be at least 89.3% of the original yield by the end of the warranty.
Silfab further explains that this expectation is enhanced by advanced passivation technology as a protection against water, UV light as well as other harsh weather conditions allowing them to serve their purpose for many years.
To augment output levels and cater for growing demand, Silfab is equally ramping up its manufacturing base in the country. The company is constructing a new facility for domestic cell production with a capacity of 1GW and an additional 1.3GW for module assembly.
Silfab Solar’s n-type bifacial panels have taken a great step forward in solar technology. Efficiency, durability and enhanced shade tolerance for big projects have been perfectly integrated. Thanks to all-embracing and comprehensive warranties coupled with increased production offerings, Silfab is adequately positioned to facilitate the rapid expansion of the renewable energy sector.
