Early degradation of silicon heterojunction PV modules installed

We present our latest findings on the early degradation of photovoltaic (PV) silicon heterojunction (HJT) modules installed in harsh desert climates for about two and half years.

Ultimate Guide to PERC, TOPCon, and HJT Modules for 2025

OverviewAdvantagesHistoryDisadvantagesStructureLoss mechanismsGlossary

SHJ has the highest efficiency amongst crystalline silicon solar cells in both laboratory (world record efficiency) and commercial production (average efficiency). In 2023, the average efficiency for commercial SHJ cells was 25.0%, compared with 24.9% for n-type TOPCon and 23.3% for p-type PERC. The high efficiency is owed mostly to very high open-circuit voltages—consistently over 700 mV—as a result of excellent surface passivation. Since 2023, SHJ bottom cells in Per

FAQs about Heterojunction modules are on par with PERC modules

What is the difference between PERC and SHJ cells?

Compared to PERC, conventional SHJ cells often suffer from poor with values rarely exceeding 40 mA/cm 2, as some light is parasitically absorbed in the front amorphous silicon layers due to its high absorption coefficient. By removing the need for the front metal contact, as well as the front amorphous silicon contact, can be recovered.

What is PERC (passivated emitter & rear cell)?

For broader reference on PV technology basics, see the DOE's Solar Energy topic hub and the EIA for market data. PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell) improved on BSF cells with rear‑side passivation. You get mature supply, low upfront cost, and wide inverter compatibility. Typical traits:

What are heterojunction solar cells (HJT)?

Heterojunction solar cells (HJT), variously known as Silicon heterojunctions (SHJ) or Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin Layer (HIT), are a family of photovoltaic cell technologies based on a heterojunction formed between semiconductors with dissimilar band gaps.

Are PERC modules safe?

PERC modules stay relevant for tight budgets and standard climates. TOPCon modules are the safe default in most sites thanks to higher efficiency, better heat behavior, and strong bifacial response.
