Sharp has developed new n-type monocrystalline bifacial solar panels based on tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) cell technology.
The NU-JC440 and NU-JC430 modules both feature a glass backplate, 108 half-cut solar cells based on M10 wafers and a 16 busbar design.
“The NU-JC440 TOPCcon n-type monocrystalline panel features a sleek black frame and a white backplate,” the manufacturer said in a statement. “The NU-JC430B module is an all-black n-type monocrystalline module with a black backplate and a black frame.”
The NU-JC440 panel has an energy conversion efficiency of 22.53% and an output power of 440 W. The NU-JC430 module has an efficiency of 22.02% and an output power of 430 W.
The IEC61215 and IEC61730-certified panels measure 1,722 mm x 1,134 mm x 30 mm and weigh 20.7 kg. They can be used in PV systems with a maximum voltage of 1,000 V and an operating temperature between -40 C and 85 C. They also have an operating temperature coefficient of -0.30% per C.
The company offers a 30-year linear performance warranty and a 25-year product warranty. The final power over 30 years is guaranteed to be no less than 87.5% of the nominal output power.
