What is half-cut technology?

A traditional PV module is typically made up of 60 square cells. In half-cut modules, the cells are cut in half, thanks to which the panel is made up of not 60 but 120 rectangular cells. These are 2 strings of 60 half-cells connected parallel to each other. By changing the structure of how the cells are joined together in the module, resistance to the flow of current is reduced, resulting in an increase in the device’s efficiency of between 1.5 and 3%. In addition, the panel handles partial shade better.
