Risen Energy's HJT Modules Reach Breakthrough Efficiency and Power Production
A World-Class Breakthrough in Solar Technology
In a significant advancement for the solar energy industry, Risen Energy Co., Ltd. has announced a landmark achievement in their Heterojunction (HJT) solar technology. The company revealed that their Hyper-ion modules have reached an unprecedented mass production average power output of 740 Wc, boasting a record efficiency rate of 26.61%. This impressive milestone sets a new standard within the photovoltaic sector, marking Risen Energy's strong position in high-efficiency energy solutions.
Breakthrough in Module Efficiency
The achievement comes in direct alignment with Risen Energy's commitment to integrating research and development with mass production capabilities. These newly developed Hyper-ion modules underline the company's dedication to optimizing performance while significantly reducing costs. Risen Energy utilizes patented technologies that enhance structural design and minimize expenses associated with non-silicon materials.
Key Innovations
Among the key innovations of the HJT modules are significant improvements in several areas:
1. Reduction in Materials: The metallization process has achieved a reduction in silver consumption down to 5 mg/W. This marks a 37.5% decrease compared to traditional TOPCon technologies, thus lowering the overall production costs significantly.
2. Low Loss Encapsulation: The Cell-To-Module (CTM) loss has been kept to an impressive 1.8%, with cell break rates remaining below 0.03%. This means that the manufacturing process maintains a high efficiency, ensuring optimal energy output.
3. High-Performance Metrics: The Hyper-ion 740 W module features a temperature coefficient of -0.24%/°C and a bifaciality rating of 90%, resulting in a power output that surpasses TOPCon’s capabilities by 4.09% under test conditions in Saudi Arabia.
4. Environmental Benefits: For a typical 100 MW project using these modules, the results translate to an additional 3 million kWh of electricity produced annually while also reducing 2,880 tons of CO2 emissions, achieving a remarkably low 376.5 kg eq CO2/kWc carbon footprint.
Market Positioning
Harnessing these advancements, the Hyper-ion Pro series from Risen Energy is poised as a leading solution for large-scale solar projects, especially in high-temperature environments. They are expected to dominate China's market with projections for 9GW+ in bids throughout 2025, which includes participation from major state-owned enterprises such as China Green Development and CGN.
Beyond China, Risen Energy's products are making headway into over 50 countries across the Middle East and Southeast Asia. The verified energy gain of more than 6% in regions with high solar radiation, such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, further emphasizes their competitive edge by lowering total ownership costs (LCOE).
Future Outlook
Looking ahead, Dr. Yang Pochuan, the Dean of Risen Global's Photovoltaic Research Institute, has ambitious plans for future developments. He envisions achieving a cell efficiency rate exceeding 27% and manufacturing modules surpassing 790 W within the next three years. By 2028, Risen Energy aims to leverage perovskite tandem technology to achieve mass production of modules exceeding 850 Wc, promoting the global transition to net-zero emissions through *
