Technical FAQs 4

What are shingled solar modules?

A solar panel manufacturing process that has gotten some traction recently is “shingling.” Not to be confused with “solar shingles” used in building-applied photovoltaics, shingled modules cut solar cells into strips and overlap them inside the framed module.

What is solar shingling & how does it work?

The technique of laying out solar cells in a module so that their edges overlap like shingles on a house roof is called »shingling« With the shingled layout, there are fewer gaps between the individual solar cells so more of the sunlight that is incident on the module can be absorbed.

Can shingling be used for bifacial solar panels?

Furthermore, like many other PV module advancements, shingling can be combined with glass-glass and bifacial techniques. Since more of the module can be covered by solar cells, shingling is a very suitable method for bifacial modules.

Why are shingle solar modules better than conventional solar modules?

Furthermore, shingling offers higher module efficiency because of the absence of cell gaps and increase in active module area. Finally, shingle solar modules offer better shading resilience than conventional module layouts [ 12, 13 ].
