What is Shingled Solar Panel?

When it comes to powering your house with solar energy, standard PV solar modules could be a good option. However, you might be interested in trying out the new cutting-edge technology of shingled solar PV panels.

Before diving into this technology, you should keep in mind we are not referring to solar shingles. Despite solar shingles being a similar technology, it differs from shingled solar panels in many aspects.

In this article, we will discuss several factors related to shingled solar panels, explaining the basic differences between them and solar shingles. We will also make a comprehensive comparison between shingled solar panels and conventional modules. Finally, we will list some of the main advantages of this technology and help you determine if they are a good option for you. Let's find out!

For beginners: Shingled solar panels and solar shingled are not the same

The main difference between solar shingles and shingled solar panels lies in their integration into the building. Solar shingles are essentially roof shingles or tiles made of solar cells, which serve the purpose of absorbing solar radiation to generate electricity but also perform as the structural support for your house roof. They are considered part of building-integrated photovoltaics.

On the other hand, shingled solar panels do not act as a structural component of your roof. The interconnection of this technology consists of cutting solar cells into a certain number of strips which are overlaid by connecting their edges using an electrically conductive adhesive (ECA). This creates strings that are arranged into a panel structure.

In other words, shingled solar panels are attached to the roof using the structural support from the existing roof to place the shingle solar cells (just like traditional modules) while the solar shingles replace your roof itself.

Shingled solar panels vs. conventional panels: A comprehensive comparison

In this section, we are going to explain the key differences between standard solar panels and shingled solar panels, considering their most important aspects and features.

Composition and Structure

Type of Cells

Both traditional and shingled solar cells are made of typical semiconducting and light-absorbing materials, for example, crystalline silicon, thin films, heterojunctions, or N-type IBC. However, the most relevant difference between conventional and shingled solar cells in terms of their composition and structure—is the interconnection or layout of them.

Interconnection of Cells

Every solar panel contains different amounts of cells interconnected or arranged in different ways depending on the desired output.

In general, conventional modules can contain 32, 36, 48, 60, 72, and 96 cells. The cells are placed in a rectangular or square shape with spaces between them. Then, by means of high soldering processes, these spaces are filled by copper busbars or ribbons which provide interconnection between the solar cells. Moreover, traditional cells are commonly connected in series.

On the other side, shingled modules avoid the use of ribbons, busbars, and soldering processes.

Instead, they achieve the interconnection of their cells by cutting them (using laser technologies) into 3 to 6 strips that are subsequently assembled in strings by connecting the front edge of each strip to the rear edge of the adjacent one. In that connection, a suitable electrically conductive adhesive is placed, resulting in no gaps between the strips.

Therefore, this process creates a continuous string of strips, which can be combined with other ones by using ribbons and busbars to obtain shingled modules. Additionally, an important difference is that in this case cell strings are connected in parallel.

Power Performance

Panel Power Output: Nowadays, the standard solar panels typically have a power rating of 400-600W. However, there are many different models in the market, which can in some cases even achieve power ratings up to 700W. Particularly, shingled solar panels range from 400W to 600W.

Panel Efficiency: Depending on the cell type and interconnection, the quality of the energy conversion process will vary. Whether you are using mono PERC, half-cut MBB, or any other available solar technology, the percentages of panel efficiency range from 15% to 22.6%. Nevertheless, the shingled panels can achieve efficiencies from 18% to 20.5%.

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. More light can be absorbed, and "back-escape" losses can be reduced, which normally occur when light passes through the gaps in traditional bifacial modules.

Mechanical Performance

Module strength against external forces (such as wind and snow) is an important aspect when it comes to the reliability of any solar panel. Thus, PV module load testing is a must in the manufacturing process.

According to various static and dynamic tests of mechanical loading, the shingled solar cell approach is more resistant to failure caused by external forces being applied to the panel when compared to conventional solar cells.

For example, while a conventional half-cut cell module has some micro-cracks and a slight power attenuation of around 1% when it’s tested by the means of an IEC standard 5,400Pa positive load, shingled solar cells have no power attenuation and no micro-cracks after the same test.

Aesthetics

While standard panels might not be the most attractive as they have several circuitries visible across the modules' area, shingled solar cells improve the building design by getting rid of many of the ribbons and busbars used in conventional panels.

Installation

Both conventional and shingled panels are relatively simple to get installed on the top of your roof. There is not a big difference between installing these two technologies.

However, it is always important to do a more comprehensive analysis with specialized installers, to size, install and correctly operate your solar system, whether it is using shingled or conventional.

What are the advantages of shingled solar panels?

Higher Power Density

Shingled solar panels can produce higher power per square meter than conventional panels since they no longer require several meters of ribbon across the module, allowing a full effective area of utilization. This means there are more solar cells exposed to sunlight and producing more energy.

Consequently, as shingled panels are not spaced apart using multiple busbars (MBB) or soldered ribbons like in conventional ones, their modules can achieve a higher power density in less space.

Furthermore, it is expected that shingled solar cells would keep increasing their power performance in the next years.

Lower Energy Loss 

Conventional solar panels commonly have their individual cells wired in series, so when a particular portion of the modules is shaded, a bypass diode will be activated turning off that side of production and leaving only the remaining cells of the module, resulting in power loss.

In contrast, since shingled solar cells are wired in parallel, a lower amount of cells will be affected by the shading effect in a section of the module. This translates into substantially reducing energy losses.

Moreover, using shingled panels greatly reduces the ohmic losses as the current is lower (which also improves temperature performance) than traditional ribbon-connected strings because of the smaller area of the “shingles”.

More Aesthetic

While generating efficient solar power, this innovative technology creates an elegant and futuristic design for your house.

Currently, manufacturers are designing better-looking shingled solar panels. As in the figure below, some companies have achieved a unique all-black look to their panels by hiding the visible circuitry under the overlapped cells, giving a sleeker line to your house.

                                                                                                                    All-Black Shingled Panel Roof

More Reliable

As a fact of the matter, PV module reliability tests show that shingled solar panels offer a more robust technology in comparison with conventional modules in terms of shading, mechanical resistance, suitable connections, low currents, etc.

Therefore, this makes them a valuable product in the market to be considered which continues to increase its reliability even more as time passes.

Are shingled solar panels right for you?

As we have seen, shingled solar cells are currently innovating a wide range of advanced features in terms of solar energy optimization. Major developments of this technology have taken place in the residential sector so far, while it might take more time to achieve a relevant presence in the commercial and industrial market.

Nevertheless, solar shingled panels are a quite promising technology as more manufacturers and retailers are diving into them, which is resulting in a greater supply and decreasing prices. Therefore, they are progressively becoming more accessible for all types of consumers.

Additionally, if you are someone who likes to have the latest cutting-edge technology then you would need to compare solar shingles and shingled solar panels. In this aspect, shingled solar panels have a few significant pros that can make them considerably better to choose from.

Less Expensive

Since solar shingles are a structural part of your house roof, manufacturing and installing them is not a simple task that has to be thoroughly analyzed to match your energy requirements, thus, it's costly.

On the other hand, the simple manufacturing process of shingled solar panels makes them much less expensive than solar shingles. The smaller current in the cells also offers opportunities to reduce the cell manufacturing costs by a reduction in the usage of silver.

Easier Maintenance

Shingled panels require very little to no maintenance to function. The only thing they need is a periodic cleaning to make sure dirt, leaves, and other debris aren't obstructing the sunlight. The only time you may need more extensive maintenance is during periods of extreme weather conditions like heavy snowfall.

Solar shingles have more difficult maintenance. Since they are integrated into the building, if one shingle cell gets damaged, it will result in a much bigger issue to replace it.

Is it for you?🤔

Long story short, solar shingled panels are a great option to consider, mainly in the residential market, so it is applicable to any homeowner who wants to have solar on the roof just as with traditional modules.

Considering all the benefits of using them, such as enhanced power production, highly efficient energy conversion, great reliability, and improved aesthetics, this makes them valuable products that can improve your carbon footprint and lead to energy savings.

Finally, as the technology develops, prices in the market are expected to decrease thanks to the economics of scale as more and more brands start manufacturing this type of module, meaning we can expect to see this technology covering a bigger market share.

What is the function of the isolation transformer in solar inverter?

  1. Isolation transformer is a device designed to achieve complete electrical insulation between its primary and secondary sides, effectively isolating the circuit. It prevents direct electrical continuity between the input and output, enhancing safety and protecting both equipment and individuals.
  2.  
  3. 1. Isolation Function: The inverter operates by inverting through IGBT power devices, which generate a significant amount of third harmonic and its multiples. These harmonics pose a serious threat to grid pollution. By incorporating an isolation transformer (primary winding in delta connection, secondary winding in star connection), the third harmonic and its multiples can be effectively filtered out. When high-order harmonic currents pass through the primary winding of the isolation transformer, a large inductive reactance is generated in the winding. As a result, the ripple current becomes very small, ensuring that harmonic currents on the secondary side of the isolation transformer are minimized and providing a clean power source for the load.
  4.  
  5. 2. Increased Short Circuit Impedance: In the event of a short circuit fault on the load side, the existence of impedance in the secondary winding of the isolation transformer significantly reduces the short-circuit current. This reduction helps minimize the impact and damage caused by short-circuit currents on the inverter.
  6.  
  7. 3. Providing Neutral Point for Output Power: As the three-phase AC power output by the inverter lacks a neutral point, installing an isolation transformer on the output side is necessary to obtain a neutral point and achieve a 220V AC power source.
  8.  
  9. 4. Complete electrical insulation between the primary and secondary sides, thereby isolating the circuit. Additionally, it takes advantage of the high-frequency loss characteristics of its core to suppress the transmission of high-frequency interference into the control circuit. Isolation transformers are used to float the secondary side with respect to ground, suitable for scenarios with a limited power supply range and short line lengths. In such cases, the system's ground capacitance current is insufficient to cause harm to individuals.
  10.  
  11. 5. The primary function of an isolation transformer is to provide electrical isolation, serving both equipment protection and, importantly, personal safety. It isolates hazardous voltages, with the small capacitance coupling between the input and output of the isolation transformer having a suppressive effect on disturbances caused by lightning, discharges, grid switching, motor starts, and other grid bursts. From this perspective, isolation transformers serve as effective noise suppressors for power sources, providing equipment protection. Regarding personal safety, it ensures the protection of individuals operating the equipment. Since the electromotive force of an isolation transformer is obtained through secondary induction and does not form a circuit with the primary side (which forms a circuit with the ground), it eliminates the risk of electric shock.

Why Solar Panels Output is Always Lower Than Expected

At this point, it's safe to assume that everyone knows the products they buy never do their advertised qualities or quantities any justice. Be it the bag of potato chips which has more air than chips or a car that just won’t touch the mileage its manufacturer claims. We're used to stuff performing below expectations and don’t mind it either.

Solar panels on the other hand, are usually excluded from such handicaps. Most consumers go into a solar purchase expecting their panels to produce as many watts as their sticker states, at least in the best of conditions.

Unfortunately, solar panels are no different from any other consumer product in this sense. In fact, don't be surprised at all if you find your panel’s output well below its rated capacity even on the brightest and sunniest of days when they are sparkling clean.

Here's why this happens.

What Can You Realistically Expect from Your Solar Panels

So, that 300 watt solar panel you've been researching probably doesn’t dishout 300 watts of power. But, just what is its realistic upper limit here? The answer depends on a few key factors.

Firstly, a solar panel's rated output is decided through rigorous laboratory testing. These tests are done in perfect conditions devoid of dust, clouds or any other pollutants with light shining directly on the panels at a perfect 90 degree angle. We've covered this in greater detail in our post on solar panel quality.

At first glance, such tests may seem deceptive since ideal conditions are rare, if not impossible. But, the objective of a solar output test is to determine the absolute power a panel can produce, which is an important figure to have.

So, how much of this power can you actually expect to harvest? Solar panels usually achieve only around 80% of their rated peak capacity, but may fall lower. A number of factors contribute to such losses.

What Causes Solar Power System Losses

Losses in usable power start to occur as the light falls on a solar panel. For the purposes of this article, we're going to ignore power loss due to environmental factors such as clouds, shade, dust, etc and focus on losses that are inherent in a solar power system due to its physical limitations. Here's a rundown of how it happens at each level:

Mismatch losses

Also known as the “mismatch effect”, power losses here are caused if solar cells in an array have different properties, resulting in inconsistent voltages. Mismatches can result in serious power losses since the entire system defaults to the output of the lowest performing solar cell.

Besides low power output, excess electricity trapped in the solar module's electric circuit is converted into heat that can further damage the solar modules. Mismatch losses can result in around 2% power loss.

Temperature loss

Solar cells perform best below 25 degrees celsius, which is also what the temperature they are tested against. The catch here is that these figures refer to the temperature of the cells and not that of ambient air surrounding the panels. So, the panels themselves can get much hotter than 25 degrees even if the ambient temperature is a cool and breezy 20 degrees.

A solar panel's power output can drop drastically as it gets hotter than 25 degrees. Power loss due to heat is measured as “Pmax”, which tells us how much a solar panel's electricity production drops per degree rise in temperature. For example, if a solar panel's Pmax is -0.45%, then that's how much electricity we lose per one degree celsius.

Temperature accounts for the majority of a solar panel's output losses and can range from 10% to as much as 25% in very hot conditions. Since mean temperature in most Australian cities can reach well over 30 degrees celsius during summer months when we have the most sunlight, the solar panels will also experience the greatest power loss here.

Light-induced degradation (LID)

LID typically occurs during the first few days after a solar installation and causes power loss due to build up of boron-oxygen compounds in the solar cell's silicon base. Some solar cells are more predisposed towards LID than others. LID accounts for 0.5% to 1.5% of power loss in photovoltaic systems.

P-type monocrystalline solar cells have higher oxygen content and are doped using boron and accept electrons, which makes them more susceptible to LID.

Multicrystalline solar cells are not as efficient as monocrystalline cells, however have less oxygen making them resistant to LID. Similarly, N-type silicon wafers are doped with chemicals that release electrons making them impervious to LID.

Cable and wiring losses

Solar panels are a collection of photovoltaic cells stacked in an array. These arrays feed into a wire that runs from the panel into the inverter. Since no wire is fully efficient, part of the power flowing through it is lost as heat.

For most solar power systems, cable related power degradation accounts for around 2% of the system's total loss, which can be brought down to 1% by using thicker wires or positioning the system such that it requires shorter wires to reach the inverter.

DC to AC Loss

Solar panels produce DC current that's unusable by household appliances. A solar inverter then converts that DC power into usable AC electricity which is fed into your home’s electrical circuit and the grid.

Since solar inverters are around 93% – 96% efficient, a portion of DC power being fed into them will be lost as heat. The exact amount of electricity lost will depend on your inverter make, and whether it’s oversized or not.

Oversized inverters (or, inverters that are rated for a higher output than the solar power system's total output) are more efficient than those that are matched to their panel's output.

Inverter Clipping

Inverter clipping happens when the DC power input from the panels is greater than its rated capacity. In such a case, the inverter “clips” or derates the overall output to match its own capacity, causing a loss in power.

How Can You Maximize Your Solar Power System's Output

The reasons for power loss we've discussed above are mostly unavoidable, because physics. However, we can also bring down such losses by designing efficient solar power systems.

For example, selecting solar panels with low or no LID potential, using sufficiently thick wires and cables, strategically sizing the inverter to mitigate clipping and positioning the solar panels such that they receive as much direct sunlight as possible can all help increase the system's output.

...

Will persistent summer heat damage home photovoltaic equipment?

 

Marching towards August, the temperature remains high💦. While we are standing with the continuous summer heat, are you curious about the 'feelings' of your home PV equipment? Can they survive under ongoing high temperatures? Let's find out🧐!

Since PV solar panels do not contain circulating water, they can evacuate heat from each side of the panel, so they do not bear the risk of overheating. However, high temperatures can influence the efficiency of solar panels. So, how can we test solar panels for power output? The standard practice is at 25°C.

If a panel is rated to have a temperature coefficient of -0.34% (PERC) per °C, that panel's output power will decrease by 0.34% for every degree the temperature rises above 25°C (77°F). Although that number may sound small, the surface temperature of a dark roof in summer can be significantly higher than 25°C – imagine an asphalt road surface on a hot summer day. The small percentage of output power loss for each degree of heat compound.

Choosing the right solar panels and the right solar system size, together with high-quality installation, will help reduce the effects of heat.

So, be relaxed, be prepared, and enjoy your summertime!

Most solar powered lamps are designed to be placed on the surface of the water or around the pool’s perimeter, requiring no complex wiring or professional installation. Once installed, these lights are virtually maintenance-free. They automatically charge during the day and switch on at dusk, providing hassle-free lighting throughout the night. Some models even come with remote controls or timers, allowing pool owners to customize their lighting preferences effortlessly.

Solar pool lights also enhance the safety and aesthetics of your pool area. Adequate lighting is crucial for preventing accidents and ensuring that swimmers can see clearly while enjoying a nighttime swim. Solar lights come in a variety of styles and colors, allowing you to create a visually appealing poolscape that matches your personal taste. Whether you prefer a soft, warm glow or vibrant, multicolored lights, there are solar options available to suit any aesthetic preference.

 

Moreover, solar pool lamps are a cost-effective investment in the long run. While the initial purchase price may be slightly higher than traditional lighting options, the savings on electricity bills and the minimal maintenance required make them a more economical choice over time. Additionally, because they do not require electrical connections, there is less risk of damage from water exposure or electrical faults, further reducing potential repair costs. By choosing solar pool lights, pool owners can enjoy both the financial benefits and the peace of mind that comes with a sustainable lighting solution.
