The Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) has developed the world’s first full-sized Interdigitated Back Contact (IBC) bifacial solar module using International Solar Energy Research Center (ISC) Konstanz, ‘ZEBRA’ solar cells.
The 60-cell bifacial module uses 6-inch N-type mono wafers with ISC Konstanz fabricated ZEBRA cells with conversion efficiencies of up to 22%. The module could produce as much as 30% extra power than an equivalent conventional IBC module, due to the bifacial nature of the solar cells and the layout with a double glass structure to ensure ground-reflected light capture. The module was claimed to have a bifaciality of 75% and capable of producing up to 400 Watts.
