4 FAQs about Perc component cost

How much does a PERC module cost?

The following are key results. Our first half of 2018 (1H 2018) MSP benchmark is $0.37/W for monocrystalline-silicon passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) modules manufactured in urban China. The supply-chain costs for this benchmark build from $15/kg for polysilicon, to $0.12/W MSP for wafers, to $0.21/W MSP for monocrystalline PERC cells.

How much does PERC conversion cost?

When using lowest-cost China multi- wafer MSP, the calculated cell MSPs for multi- PERC production move down to $0.23/W for the United States, $0.22/W for South Korea, and $0.25/W for Germany. Figure 19. Monocrystalline (top) and multicrystalline (bottom) PERC conversion costs by country

What are PERC & Pert costs based on?

The PERT, SHJ, and IBC costs are projections based on facilities with 1 GW of annual production in urban China; standard and PERC cells are already produced far above that scale and are modeled for 2-GW facilities.

What is the PERC system?

The PERC (Pressure Energy Recovery Core) system from B A Die Mold uses servo motors instead of hydraulics for faster, more accurate, and more compact unscrewing of threaded cores. Hydraulics are the typical power source driving unscrewing cores to separate threaded parts from injection tools. Though hydraulics are generally reliable, they have drawbacks.
