Equipment / System Category

Advanced Residential PV Power Generation System PV Module with Solar Concentrating Film, Indoor Use Compact Inverter
Winner
Sharp Corp.

Features of Equipment, Systems and Facilities
The PV module has been designed using single crystal cells with a high conversion efficiency of 17%. With the distance between the cells increased, the sun beam entering the inter-cellular space is reflected by the film at the back of the cell, and this beam is further reflected at the cover glass to increase the solar light entering the cell so as to improve the power generation output by 4%.
This technological development has helped reduce the number of cells per module from 54 to 48, reducing costs, and the silicon used for the cell. The integrated fanless structure improved its reliability and safety of the inverter. This is high frequency insulation, transformer-less, connecting box built-in type inverter, realizing low-noise features and reducing costs by a sharp 53%.	Example of Installation
