A solar panel manufacturing process that has gotten some traction recently is “shingling.” Not to be confused with “solar shingles” used in building-applied photovoltaics, shingled modules cut solar cells into strips and overlap them inside the framed module.
Let’s break down the basics of shingling technology. While “solar shingles” and “solar tiles” are often interchangeable when it comes to building-applied photovoltaics, a module using shingling technology is actually different from one using tiling technology.
True shingled modules have no visible busbars and solar cells are cut into five or six strips and connected with an electrically conductive adhesive. Seraphim Solar’s S2 shingled module uses one-sixth-cut cells in vertical strings separated into three sections.
Seraphim’s S2 shingled line runs around 355 W and 19.6% efficient. There’s no real reason to keep solar cells at their large square size. By cutting cells even just in half, gaps can be eliminated and more silicon can fit on a panel. Shingled-cell strings can reach the entire length of a module without a gap — like in SunPower’s P-series.
By cutting cells even just in half, gaps can be eliminated and more silicon can fit on a panel. Shingled-cell strings can reach the entire length of a module without a gap — like in SunPower’s P-series. “You’re eliminating a lot of the gaps. That’s why you can get more efficiency or higher power from shingling,” Sharma said.
For example, JinkoSolar uses a “ tiling ribbon ” to eliminate intercell gaps and make busbar connections across overlapped half-cut cells. The cells never actually touch each other and are only cut in half; thus the modules are not considered to be shingling. “Jinko’s Tiling Ribbon (TR) technology is different from shingled modules.
