Gautam Solar’s latest line of Solar Panels is available in power range of 580 Wp – 590 Wp and feature 144 Half-Cut Cells with maximum efficiency up to 22.84%. Visitors at Messe München Centre can visit Booth No. A1.509 to experience the cutting-edge Solar Panels on display.

Using a combination of pioneering German Technology (N-type TOPCon technology was first developed by Fraunhofer ISE) and State-of-the-art Manufacturing at its factories in India, Gautam Solar’s high-efficiency Solar Panels are ideal for Developers and EPC Companies working on Commercial & Industrial (C&I) and Utility-scale Projects.

These Bifacial Panels with dimensions of 2278 mm × 1134 mm × 35 mm, produce extra power from the rear side, between 10% – 30% (depending upon installation and weather) when compared to Monofacial Panels. With PERC (Passivation Emitter Rear Contact) reaching limits of efficiency, the usage of TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) technology allows Gautam Solar’s Panels to cross efficiency of 22%.

Gautam Mohanka, CEO of Gautam Solar explains the advantages of Glass-to-Glass configuration over Glass-to-Backsheet configuration, “Using G2G structure allows us to provide 30 years performance warranty over the standard 25 years warranty for G2B panels. G2G structure with 2.0 mm glass on both sides provides much better mechanical load handling and abrasion resistance, prevents formation of micro-cracks and protects cells from degradation caused by moisture, salt mist and PID.”

He adds, “Our latest Solar Panel is ideal for the European Market, where the weather gets really harsh for significant time periods, with many regions experiencing heavy snowfall in winters and high wind speeds. Our panels which are certified as per European (EN/CE) and other Global Standards (UL and IEC), make for perfect fit for developers and EPC companies which are looking to move away from cheap Chinese Solar Panels, which are flooding the market.”

The main advantage of Gautam Solar’s 590 Wp TOPCon Solar Modules is that it has same size as 550Wp Mono Perc and still offers a higher efficiency and produces approx. 5% more energy every year compared to normal Mono PERC Solar Modules. Gautam Solar TOPCon modules degrade only up to 87.4% of their initial rated power at the end of 30 years compared to normal Mono PERC modules which degrade to 84.8% in their 25-year lifecycle. This makes Gautam Solar’s TOPCon a preferred option for developers, system integrators who get more power per m² from same land areas and they get BOS Cost Savings of 3.26% and LCOE reduction of 1.56% over existing technology.

“With the BIS certification for our TOPCon modules, we are one of the first few manufacturers in India to start production and supply these revolutionary solar modules, to commercial, industrial, and utility-scale customers. Gautam Solar Topcon modules offer significant advantage over Mono Perc and BIS approved modules can now be used by Indian developers, EPC companies & system integrators” noted Gautam Mohanka, CEO of Gautam Solar.

Gautam Solar’s TOPCon 590 Wp modules offers an enhanced energy conversion efficiency of up to 22.84% and optimized bifacial power generation performance. In TOPCon Cells, a thin tunneling oxide layer is applied on a Silicon Substrate, followed by a layer of highly doped Poly Silicon and Passivated Contacts. The tunnel oxide layer allows charge carriers to pass while minimizing recombination losses. The passivated contacts reduce surface recombination. Due to Phosphorous doping in TOPCon, as opposed to Boron doping in normal Mono PERC, free electrons are generated, which increases the efficiency of the cells, and hence the resulting modules. As a result,

Gautam Solar’s TOPCon modules have degradation rates of 1% in Year 1 and 0.4% subsequently, as opposed to 2% in Year 1 and 0.55% subsequently for normal Mono PERC Modules; thereby increasing the longevity of the modules. The modules incorporate market-leading technologies like multi-busbar (MBB) with round ribbon for lower electrical losses and higher light utilization and non-destructive cutting technology for lower chances of micro-cracks and greater mechanical strength.

Gautam Solar’s TOPCon solar modules certified as per UL & IEC standards were earlier showcased at the Renewable Energy India (REI) Expo in October 2023, where the company’s team of experts highlighted the advanced technologies incorporated in the modules and their efficiency.  With BIS certification now, the technology is accessible to Indian solar market. Gautam Solar is expanding its manufacturing capacity to 2 GW, a majority of the expansion being in TOPCon solar modules as it believes that this is the technology for the future.

Gautam Solar’s revolutionary N-type TOPCon Solar Modules will be available in the wattage range 565 – 580 Wp. These modules are best suited for ground mounted projects and have a maximum efficiency of 22.45%. These modules have been certified as per UL & IEC Standards and are already available for the US and European markets.

TOPCon is a state-of-the-art Solar Module Production Technology in which a thin tunneling oxide layer is applied on an N-Type Silicon Substrate, followed by a layer of highly doped Poly Silicon and Passivated Contacts. The tunnel oxide layer allows charge carriers to pass while minimizing recombination losses. The passivated contacts reduce surface recombination.

In N-type Cells, the base silicon layer is doped with Phosphorous instead of Boron like in P-type Cells. As a result of this, free electrons are generated, which increases the efficiency of the cells, and hence the resulting modules.

Because of this difference, Gautam Solar’s N-type TOPCon Solar Modules offer 5% more power every year compared to P-type Solar Modules, on account of the increased cell efficiency.

Gautam Solar’s N-type TOPCon Solar Modules also have lower degradation rates of 1 per cent in first year and 0.4 per cent in subsequent years unlike 2 per cent in first year and 0.55 per cent in subsequent years for P-type Modules. This increases the longevity of the solar modules. It degrades only to 87.4% of its initial rated power at the end of 30 years compared to P-type modules which degrade to 84.8% in their 25 years lifecycle.

In addition to the above, Gautam Solar’s N-type modules also provide BOS Cost Savings of 3.26 per cent and LCOE reduction of 1.56 per cent.

These modules are based on M10 Cells and are composed of 144 half-cut cells produced using Non-Destructive Cutting Process for better low-light performance and negligible chances of micro-cracks. In addition, they feature multi-busbar design with round ribbon connectors for lower electrical losses and better utilization of light. The modules will be available in both Monofacial and Bifacial variants, with the latter providing an additional 10-30% power from the rear side, depending on the installation conditions.
