The graph shows the usual seasonal effect, with a higher performance ratio in winter due to lower than STC temperatures. As the temperature coefficient of SHJ modules is lower than that of PERC modules, the seasonal temperature cannot explain the larger performance offset between SHJ and PERC during winter.
The results in Figure 13 show that the monofacial SHJ module has on average an 8% higher Performance Ratio than its monofacial PERC counterpart. For the bifacial SHJ module this difference goes up to 14%. Figure 13 also shows the better performance of SHJ modules at low irradiance levels.
Researchers from CEA-INES and Eternalsun Spire explore the performance stability and measurement of bifacial heterojunction modules under real life conditions, benchmarking them against PERC modules as the industry workhorse.
