2、MODULES,to address the evolving efficiencies of market-ready products.Additionally,TaiyangNews has been publishing reports summarizing the insights from the TOP SOLAR MODULES list.This latest report,the 5th edition,encompasses key findings from an analysis of the last 24 editions covering 2023 and 2
3、024.As with the previous reports,this report also primarily analyzes efficiency,the key performance attribute of a solar module.Efficiency data has been analyzed with respect to various parameters such as efficiency range,cell technologies,and the progress of different companies.While not as extensi
4、ve as efficiency,we have also provided a basic power analysis.The number of products and the count of companies supplying them increased since we started in 2022 till H1 2024.However,the product count seems to have started on a downtrend in H2 2024.Just considering the 2 ends of the 2-year period th
5、ough,product count has gone up from 34 to 53 while the number of companies have increased from 23 to 33(see chapter 3.1).In absolute terms,the highest module efficiency saw an improvement of only 0.2%during 2024.However,when evaluating the last 2 years,the progress is significant with a growth of 1.
6、4%absolute.Once again,AIKO remained the efficiency leader,increasing the top efficiency thrice during the last 2 years,from 23.6%to 24.2%.By the end of 2024,the top 3 efficiency ranks have become an IBC fortress represented by AIKO,Maxeon and LONGi.However,Huasuns HJT module did make a mark by claim
