HALF-CUT

Half Cut Solar PV Modules

With rising demand for high-efficiency and more powerful solar panels, Bluebird Solar decided to introduce Half-cut technology-based solar panels to its product portfolio. In half-cut technology, the solar panel is split into two halves to let the top and bottom portions operate as two separate panels, thus generating sufficient energy even if one half gets shaded. The traditional monocrystalline or Mono PERC solar panels have 60 to 72 solar cells, but in the case of half-cut solar panels, the cells are cut in two halves to increase the number of cells to 120 to 144 cells. Cutting the cells into half reduces resistive losses, thus increasing module efficiency and giving more wattage.
