Viridian Solar, a manufacturer of building-integrated PV (BIPV) panels based in the UK, has announced a new Topcon module of 445 W N-Type.
“The new panel uses the latest in solar cell technology to reach this higher specific power density, with N-type top con cell cells encapsulated between two glass sheets, in the front and back,” the company said. “The switch to glass glass panels improves the life of the panel by better protecting the cells against oxidation and mechanical tensions and trunks.”
The 54-cell PV16-445AG-M10 module measures 1.885 mm x 1,134 x 70 mm and has a weight of 28.3 kg. It has a power conversion -efficiency of 23.6% and a temperature coefficient of -0.29%/C. The open circuit voltage is 39.90 V and the short-circuit current is 14.18 A.
The new product is compatible with the existing M10 Dakkits of the company and is supplied with a 15-year product guarantee, where the power is guaranteed at 95% of the original yield after 10 years and 87% after 30 years.
“With cheatable glass on the back of the new panel to replace a polymer -lace, the new panel further reduces the fire risks,” Viridian added. “The 445AG is now certified with the highest fire stand classification (Brof) for both Test 1 (Germany and Benelux) and Test 4 (for the UK) and is stated both MCS005 and MCS012 certificates.”
