Shingled solar panels differ from traditional designs by overlapping solar cells in a way that resembles roof shingles. Instead of using metal ribbons to connect cells, they are cut into strips and connected with electrically conductive adhesive (ECA). This results in:
Higher energy density
Better thermal performance
Improved shading tolerance
Sleeker, more modern appearance
1. Increased Power Output
The most significant advantage is enhanced power generation. Thanks to reduced spacing between cells and improved electrical connections, shingled modules can convert more sunlight into electricity. For example, Bluesun’s 610W and 720W shingled panels utilize high-efficiency N-type TOPCon cells combined with 4.0 triple-cut technology, resulting in outstanding output per square meter.
2. Superior Aesthetics
Shingled modules offer a clean, uniform black appearance—perfect for rooftops where looks matter. They avoid the grid-like appearance of conventional panels, making them ideal for residential and architectural projects.
3. Improved Reliability
The use of ECA instead of soldering reduces the risk of microcracks and hot spots, common issues in traditional modules. This increases durability, particularly under extreme temperature cycles or heavy mechanical stress.
4. Better Shading Tolerance
Traditional solar panels can lose significant output when even a small portion is shaded. Shingled panels, however, are built with multiple parallel strings, improving performance under partial shading.
Bluesun, a global leader in photovoltaic technology, has brought shingled technology to the next level with its 610W and 720W shingled modules. These panels combine cutting-edge N-type TOPCon technology with innovative shingled cell layout for unparalleled efficiency and stability.
High Efficiency: Lower LID and higher bifaciality with N-type TOPCon
Excellent Temperature Performance: Maintain output even in hot climates
Optimized Transport Efficiency: Greater wattage per container, reducing LCOE
Durable and Reliable: Lower risk of microcracks, longer service life
Ideal for Utility and C&I Projects: Scalable for large installations
