JA Solar

Chinese manufacturer JA Solar unveiled what is thus the world's largest and most powerful panel with the 810W model. Called Jumbo, the panel has a quadruple layout of 47 cells and dimensions of 2,220 by 2,757 mm. This panel uses a triple-cut cell design with 11 busbars on 210 mm wafers. JA puts the maximum power output at 800 W. The module is not yet in mass production.

JA Solar launched a new 525 W panel in May.

Tongwei

China's largest cell manufacturer, Tongwei, unveiled its G12 module series, which has power outputs from 760 to 780 W. The series is also based on 210 mm wafer and multi-busbar (MBB) technology. Measuring 2,357 mm by 1,612 mm, it weighs 39 kg. With MBB technology, Tongwei said the panel would reduce BOS and LCOE for investors and operators. The G12 series is similarly not in mass production.

Trina

Trina Solar introduced the 660 W version of the Devex module. Trina said that the new product had the same features and specifications as the Vertex 600 W panel that it launched in mid-July, but with systematic customization. The panel is based on 210 mm wafers, MBB technology and high-density interconnection.

Trina last month formed the 600 W Photovoltaic Open Innovation Ecological Alliance with the aim of producing the next level of ultra-powerful modules.
