New Energy World™
New Energy World™ embraces the whole energy industry as it connects and converges to address the decarbonisation challenge. It covers progress being made across the industry, from the dynamics under way to reduce emissions in oil and gas, through improvements to the efficiency of energy conversion and use, to cutting-edge initiatives in renewable and low-carbon technologies.
Chinese solar module manufacturer Huasun Energy has launched a new 760 Watt solar module.
The Himalaya 760 HV HJT solar photovoltaic (PV) module delivers 760 Watts of output, operates at 2,000 Volts and achieves 24.5% efficiency, according to the company. The module uses heterojunction technology, a design that combines two different types of silicon layers to boost performance.
Aimed for use in large-sale solar farms, including desert-based projects, the module’s high-power output and system voltage are expected to boost electricity generation and improve project cost-efficiency.
Huasun says in a simulated 100 MVA utility project in Xinjiang, China, the higher voltage cut balance-of-system costs by nearly RMB 0.1157/W ($0.0163/W), reduced the need for more than 5,000 foundation piles, and significantly improved land-use efficiency, compared to a 1,500 Volt system.
The module incorporates several design changes, including a 132-half-cell dual-string layout, larger silicon wafers, a negative-spacing configuration and increased screen coverage. The module’s active area ratio of 95.8% contributes to an estimated 20 Watt increase in output and a 0.66% boost in efficiency, the company says.
To support operation at ultra-high voltages, the module uses a butyl edge-sealing process designed to improve insulation without affecting performance. According to Huasun, the module can be produced on existing high-efficiency manufacturing lines, with only minor equipment modifications needed for large-scale production.
Huasun’s Chairman Xu Xiaohua commented: ‘760 Watts is not an endpoint, but a new starting point. This platform will continue evolving toward higher power, higher efficiency and higher value for the global clean energy transition.’
Anhui Huasun Energy was established in 2021 and is based in Xuancheng, Anhui Province, with factories in Dali, Yunnan Province, Yinchuan, Ningxia Autonomous Region and Wuxi, in Jiangsu Province. Total annual production capacity claimed is 20 GW.
