Hybrid Solar Panels - HIT Solar Cells

R.B. Grant supply and install the new HIT Photovoltaic Module (Hybrid Solar Panels Cells) throughout Scotland. We install Panasonic Hybrid panels. We are approved installers with full MCS accreditation. Unfortunately Hybrid panels are out of favour in the current market, lets hope they return soon.

Advantages

The new improved solar cell have the added advantages of:

1. An improved cell efficiency up to 21.6%

• To limit carrier recombination loss
• To preserve as much as possible the electricity generated
• To have a higher voltage

2. New tab design

• To reduce the electrical loss between cell finger and tab
• To narrow with width of the tab in order to increase the light receiving area

3. Use of Anti-Reflection (AR) glass

• To reduce reflection and scattering of incoming light
• To generate more electricity on mornings and evenings

Specification

• Efficiency: 18.5 per cent
• Form: Square (rounded corners)
• Efficiency: 18.5 per cent
• Size: 10.4cm x 10.4 cm / 12.5cm x 12.5cm
• Thickness: 0.2mm
• Appearance: Uniform
• Colour: Dark blue to almost black

Hybrid Solar Panels (HIT Solar Cells) are a combination of crystalline and thin-film solar cell amorphous silicon that is bonded with an additional un-doped thin film.

A mono-crystalline wafer forms in the middle of the hybrid cell and is coated on both the top and bottom with a thin layer of amorphous silicon.

A hetro-junction is created from the two different semi-conductors. The amorphous silicon bonds the crystalline wafer with each amorphous silicon layer.

The amorphous p/i layer and the un-doped wafer create a pin like structure with amorphous thin-film cells. The back of the wafer is coated with highly un-doped amorphous silicon to prevent the free charge carries recombining on the back electrode.

Amorphous absorbs energy of infrared which increases the panels efficiency. The monocrystalline layer optimises the open circuit voltage for the PV panel to create energy more efficiently.
