MCCLELLAN PARK, CA / ACCESSWIRE / July 12, 2023 / SPI Energy Co., Ltd., (NASDAQ:SPI) (the "Company"), a global renewable energy company and provider of solar, storage and electric vehicle (EV) solutions for business, residential, government, logistics and utility customers, today announced its wholly owned Solar4america subsidiary plans to begin manufacturing state-of-the-art N-type HJT solar cells in the United States.
HJT leverages N-type monocrystalline silicon as a substratum, depositing silicon-based thin films with unique characteristics and transparent conductive films on the front and rear surfaces. By combining the benefits of crystalline silicon and amorphous silicon thin-film technologies, HJT technology offers excellent photo absorption, passivation effects as well as exceptional efficiency and performance. Key advantages of HJT solar cells include enhanced conversion efficiency, superior energy yield, reduced degradation rate, improved weak light performance, and adaptable to thinner wafers.
"We are excited about this significant step in our strategic expansion," said Denton Peng, Chairman and CEO of SPI Energy. "The production of HJT solar cells aligns with our commitment to providing cutting-edge renewable energy technology while reducing carbon footprints globally."
Solar4America plans to begin manufacturing HJT solar cells in the US by the end of 2024. The US-based facility will significantly expand Solar4america's manufacturing capabilities and capacity. With the introduction of HJT solar cells to its product portfolio, Solar4America aims to become one of the American leading providers of advanced photovoltaic (PV) solutions.
