Founded in 2010, Hangzhou GPHLAMS Renewable Energy Technology Co., Ltd (in short: GPHLAMS) is a very young manufacturer of crystalline silicon pv modules that entered an already very competitive market. Not long after its establishment, our team started to perform pre-shipment quality inspections at this manufacturer for pv companies from India. This report is a [...]
Organic Solar cells Organic solar cells are one of the promising new cell technologies. Currently organic solar cells have reached an efficiency of only 10%, and researchers expect it to increase to 15% in the coming 3 to 5 years. Efficiency is lower than standard silicon solar cells when measured under Standard Testing Conditions (STC), [...]
Multi Junction solar cells Multi junction solar cells are solar cells that contain several p-n junctions. Each junction has a different band gap and is made to receive a different wavelength of light. This results in a highly efficient solar cell that have reached efficiencies of up to 43.5%. Multi junction solar cells are not [...]
Thin Films Thin Films are considered a potential alternative for silicon (Si) solar cells, because the costs have long been considered to be cheaper than silicon solar cells. The reason for that is for Thin Films less semi-conductor is used, bringing the costs down. CdTe solar cells Advantages CdTe solar cells have a number of [...]
Silicon (Si) Solar Cells Currently silicon (Si) solar cells dominate over 85% of the solar market. There are good reasons for that, because silicon has major advantages compared to other solar cell technologies. The major advantages are: Advantages silicon solar cells Silicon (Si) is very well understood. Silicon is already widely used for semi conductors [...]
Complete guide to solar cell technologies The coming two weeks we’ll be releasing new posts related to solar cell technologies. The current market is dominated by the almighty silicon (Si) solar cell which currently owns 85% of the entire solar market. However it is not certain that silicon (Si) will remain the largest solar cell [...]
This report is about is the solar panel manufacturer GESOLAR, a medium size and state-owned Chinese manufacturer with an annual production capacity of over 300 MW. Since our Shanghai-based quality inspection and consultancy service company Kisun Solar Consultancy Services has on the request of several clients carried out a range of quality inspections at this [...]
The purchase of solar panels in China is not only a question of good pricing, workmanship and output performance, but also increasingly of a PV module’s aesthetics. While most end-users still regard the issue of cell color deviations (abbreviated as CCDs) as a minor issue, some place high expectations regarding the outer appearance of their purchased [...]
