Jiangsu Seraphim Solar System Co., Ltd. ("Seraphim"), a world-class solar 
product manufacturer in China, has recently rolled out an innovative solar 
module, Blade Bifacial module. 

According to Seraphim, the new product integrates industry-leading half-cell 
technology and latest bifacial PERC cell technology, allowing it to have such 
features as low internal power loss, reduced hot spot potential, higher power 
output and improved reliability.

Compared to traditional modules, half-cell modules have lower current and 
series resistance, which can minimize mismatch losses, internal power losses, 
and shadow effects. Besides, the application of the bifacial PERC cell 
technology in the new product can also increase the power generation by 10 to 
30 percent, making the new product more cost-effective.

Apart from the higher performance, the Seraphim Blade Bifacial module is much 
lighter as it uses the 2.0 mm double AR coating tempered glass, instead of the 
2.5 mm glass used by most PV manufacturers, making it easy for installation and 
saving transportation costs. 

"The technical upgrade of the PV module, as a core component of the power 
station system, is an important measure to reduce the electricity cost and 
promote on-grid PV power at a fair price. The integration of the half-cell 
technology and the bifacial PERC cell technology is an important route to 
develop the PV module technology and adapt to the needs of the terminal market. 
In view of its excellent stability, we have extended the product warranty of 
the monocrystal PERC half-cell modules to 15 years, 50 percent more than the 
10-year warranty on the market," said Polaris Li, president of Seraphim. 

He also added that Seraphim has set up a new plant in north China's Shanxi 
Province jointly with Shanxi Lu'An Photovoltaics Technology Co. Ltd. to 
manufacture one gigawatt of ultra-efficient modules including the bifacial 
half-cell modules annually. At present, the new plant has entered the trial 
operation stage and the first batch of the modules has rolled off the assembly 
line for shipment. 

Founded in 2011, Seraphim has registered impressive achievements in a short 
time, earning Tier-1 distinction from BNEF, Top Performer from DNV GL, and 
loyalty from demanding customers around the world. With an installed base of 
over 6GW in over 40 countries, Seraphim provides global customers with 
high-quality products and professional services.
