The past few years have seen an unprecedented explosion in PV cell and module technologies. Monocrystalline PERC, split-cell, multibusbar, dense cell-to-cell architectures, bifacial, large-format modules, solar tiles – the list of innovations is impressive. The next wave of innovation will be equally if not more impressive. Topics focus on the cell and module technologies underway in R&D and pilot development, the pros and cons of the technologies, and the challenges that must be overcome to scale these technologies to gigawatt production capacities.
