MONO PERC EVOLUTION
MONO PERC INITIALS
- First appearance in 1983 at University of South new Wales, Australia.
- The Concept offered the best potential to reach high efficiency, achieving multiple world records of efficiency reaching 25% (at research level).
- Since then, cell technology has been improved by several players in the industry like Panasonic, Sharp, SunPower, SolarWorld and JA Solar.
- In 2010 JA Solar started R&D for mass production of mono cells, rapidly becoming a world leader in cell conversion efficiency
- In 2010 JA Solar was granted a patent for cell structure and industrial production of mono PERC cells
- In 2013 cell efficiency reached 20,3% for mass production
- In 2014 JA Solar started mass production at large scale becoming the first company in the world to mass produce and commercialize mono PERC structured cells
- In 2016 JA Solar became the world largest p-type PERC monocrystalline cell and module provider, reaching 7GW of total shipments
- In 2016 JA Solar Provided nearly 50% for the first phase (2015) of China’s “Front Runner” PV program, which included 150MW of mono PERC modules. JA was winner of the program.
- In 2017 JA Solar set a world record for mono PERC module output power, reaching over 325W with a 60-cel module

JA SOLAR’S ROLE IN MONO PERC DEVELOPMENT
MONO PERC EVOLUTION
CHINA’S FRONT RUNNER PROGRAM ROLE IN MONO PERC DEVELOPMENT
- In 2015 China started the initiative “Front Runner Program” to encourage PV technology improvement and accelerate PV industry transformation towards higher efficiency modules
- It mandates a specific amount of solar capacity to be installed each year by only using modules that meet the Front Runner efficiency standards:
-> 2015: 1 GW-> 2016: 5,5 GW-> 2017: 8-10 GW
- For 2015 and 2016 modules had to provide an efficiency of 17,5% for poly and 18% for mono. Minimum output power was 270W for poly and 280W for mono
- For 2017 module had to fulfil the following requirements:

CHINA’S FRONT RUNNER PROGRAM ROLE IN MONO PERC DEVELOPMENT
The result of the third phase of the program reveals the following:
1. Mono-Si PERC accounted for the majority (67%) of all the bid winning projects
2. All P-type mono-si modules adopt PERC. In addition, every 60-cell module's wattage reached 310W, the upper limit in the scoring system.
3. More than 50% of P-type mono-si is predicted to use bifacial technology.
MONO PERC EVOLUTION
PERC PRODUCTION DEVELOPMENT UNTIL 2017
- Global PERC production grewed from 0% market share up to 20% in 2017
- Since 2015 when the Top Runner program started, PERC cells have gone from being a small share of the market to becoming standard in most new solar cell production lines
MONO PERC EVOLUTION
PERC PRODUCTION DEVELOPMENT UNTIL 2018
- By end of 2018, market share of mono cell production will account for 50% of global cell production
- By 2019 it will become the dominant technology used in PV industry, according to many experts to the industry

GLOBAL PRODUCTION CAPACITY FORECAST OF MONO PERC
- In March 2018, China released a new regulation for new expanding plan of cell capacity in China. The cell efficiency of multi & mono in new built PV plant has to be greater than 19% & 21% accordingly.
- The global PERC capacity will be boosted by China's new regulation, showing an already ongoing global ramp up towards mono PERC technology
