UNVEILING SOLAR PANELS
Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic (PV) panels, are ingenious devices that convert sunlight directly into electricity. These panels consist of numerous solar cells made from semiconductor materials, such as silicon. When sunlight strikes the cells, it excites electrons, generating a flow of electrical current. This clean and renewable electricity can power your home, business and even feed excess energy back into the grid.
JA Solar Holdings is a solar development company founded in 2005, they design, develop, manufacture, and sell solar cell and solar module products. As part of the “carbon neutrality” initiative, they are dedicated to promoting green and low-carbon growth for the benefit of future generations.
In May 2023, the company released its next-generation DeepBlue 4.0 Pro solar panels. By incorporating benefits such as superior efficiency, high power, enhanced power generation capacity, and robust reliability, DeepBlue 4.0 Pro can deliver increased profits for users who sell any excess electricity generated by their panels through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) scheme. These include solar panels for homes and commercial installations.
LONGi founded in 2000 is a world leader in clean energy transition. LONGi’s technological and manufacturing leadership in solar wafers, cells and modules accentuates their commitment to helping accelerate the transition to clean energy.
Longi's Hi-MO 6 range improves power generation capacity providing a great power-to-size ratio and excellent performance - achieving over 22% efficiency. The product family is suitable for both residential and C&I rooftop systems.
The use of full-back welding technology in Longi Solar’s Hi-MO 6 series is aimed at enhancing the reliability and durability of their solar panels by addressing the issue of micro cracking.
Full-back welding technology involves connecting the solar cells from the back side of the module, creating a more secure and robust connection. This technique can help reduce the risk of micro cracks and enhance the overall structural integrity of the solar panel. By minimising the impact of micro cracks, the panels are likely to have improved resistance to stress and better long-term performance.
Founded in 2006, Jinko is one of the largest producers of solar in the world, with a strong focus on R&D that results in industry-leading efficiency and performance.
Tiger Neo modules come with an attractive 25-year product warranty, and a 30-year power warranty, guaranteeing 87% efficiency after that time.
With the mission of “Empowering transformation towards a carbon-free era”, AIKO keeps on pursuing extreme innovation and cutting-edge technology.
AIKO's All-Black 54-cell panels are a result of cutting-edge technology and deliver a fantastic 23.1% efficiency.
These sleek panels feature a blacked-out effect and bezel less edge to provide a stylish edge to the panel's overall design.
AIKO's 54-cell panels are perfect for residential builds looking for the highest efficiency available.
