In the ever-evolving landscape of renewable energy, advancements in technology are propelling us towards a brighter, more sustainable future. The recent transition from old-generation P-Type solar panels to cutting-edge N-Type panels exemplifies this progress, as evidenced by the remarkable transformation of our esteemed customer’s solar energy system at Alexandra Hills.

What are N-Type Panels?

There are two types of modern solar panels – these are known as P-Type modules and N-Type modules. The important thing to know is that N-Type is the newest, most efficient technology available. The main physical difference between the panel types is the base layer coating which affects the performance of the panel. The new N-Type technology allows for lower panel degradation, better low-light performance and the ability to perform better at a higher temperature.

Benefits of N-Type Panels

The Jinko N-Type panels that we offer at  Goodhew Electrical and Solar allow your system to benefit from the following key advantages:

• Lower panel degradation rates – the panels are certified to drop less than 1% in performance in the first year of operation and will maintain 87.4% efficiency at 30 years.
  .
• Better low-light performance – the N-Type cells provide excellent low-light production thanks to industry-leading manufacturing processes.
  .
• Lowest temperature coefficient in Australia – this means that the panels can perform better in above-average temperatures that we regularly see in the harsh Queensland climate.

A real-world N-Type vs P-Type Case Study

Our commitment to providing state-of-the-art solutions led us to upgrade an existing customer’s solar power system, replacing his outdated 12-year-old P-Type panels with the latest Jinko N-Type panels. The results have been nothing short of astonishing, not only ensuring the preservation of his high feed-in tariff but also catapulting his daily energy generation to unprecedented levels.

Before vs. After panel replacement

The performance disparity between the old and new systems is stark and compelling. Prior to the upgrade, Mr. Mole’s solar array averaged a modest 2.1 kW per day, reflecting the limitations of the aging P-Type technology. However, with the integration of Jinko N-Type panels, his daily energy generation has soared to an impressive 16.5 kW on average – a nearly eightfold increase in output.

The key to this substantial improvement lies in the unique characteristics of N-Type solar panels. N-Type technology boasts enhanced efficiency, greater durability, and superior performance in low-light conditions compared to its P-Type counterpart. These advancements are pivotal in ensuring that solar energy systems not only meet but exceed the expectations of users, even as they age.

The surge in Mr. Mole’s energy production not only benefits him financially through higher feed-in tariffs but also contributes significantly to the reduction of carbon emissions. The increased efficiency of the N-Type panels means a more effective conversion of sunlight into electricity, ultimately reducing our reliance on non-renewable energy sources.

What does N-Type Technology mean for other customers?

As we celebrate this success story, it is important to recognize the broader implications of such technological leaps. The widespread adoption of N-Type solar panels has the potential to revolutionize the renewable energy landscape on a global scale. Improved efficiency and performance will make solar energy more accessible and attractive, propelling us closer to achieving our renewable energy goals.

The transition from old P-Type to new-generation N-Type solar panels have proven to be a game-changer for Mr. Mole and countless others seeking to maximize the potential of their solar energy systems. The data speaks for itself – a remarkable increase from 2.1 kW to 16.5 kW daily generation. This upgrade not only secures our commitment to innovation but also reinforces the limitless possibilities that lie ahead as we continue to harness the power of progress in the realm of renewable energy.
