Solar Cell Technology Evolution: Waaree at the Technology Forefront

The solar technology landscape is ever evolving, with a constant push for more efficient, durable, and cost-effective solutions. Waaree, a leader in this field, exemplifies innovation and quality. This blog explores the evolution of solar cell technologies through Waaree's pioneering efforts, from the first to the fourth generation.

Timelines: M2 Poly & M2.5 Mono c-Si cell untill 2018, to M2.5 & M6 Mono PERC from 2018-2020, to M10 & G12 Mono PERC from 2021-2026 & onwards, to M10 & G12 N-type TOPCON and G12 N-type HJT in 2022-2026 and onwards, Back Contact XBC (TBC & HBC) in 2025 & onwards, to Pervoskite & Tandem cells from 2025 onwards untill 2030.

First Generation: P-Type PERC Modules

Poly-crystalline and mono-crystalline P-type PERC modules, known for their high efficiency and reliability, marked the first generation. These modules enhanced light absorption and reduced electron recombination, and Waaree’s adoption of this technology made solar energy more accessible and efficient.

Second Generation: N-Type Cells

N-type TopCon and N-type HJT (heterojunction) cells offer greater efficiency and longevity. These cells have higher efficiency, a better low-irradiance response, and negligible light-induced degradation. Waaree’s manufacturing includes these advanced technologies, making solar energy more viable and reducing costs.

Third Generation: XBC Cells

TOPCON Back Contact (TBC) and Heterojunction Back Contact (HBC) technologies represent the third generation. They aim to maximize light absorption and energy conversion efficiency by optimizing electrical contacts and reducing cell surface shading. Waaree plans to adopt these technologies within the next two years.

Fourth Generation: TANDEM Cells

TANDEM cell technology involves multiple layers of light-absorbing materials, significantly boosting efficiency. Waaree envisions a future with advanced N-type TOPCON and HJT PV modules, along with TANDEM cells, shaping the future of solar energy.
