Being launched in 2018 and later achieved successful production on pilot line, 
S6 was continuously upgraded and optimized by Sunport Power's R&D team with its 
flexibility and high-efficiency for customers' needs in different scenarios. 
The module efficiency of 21.2% has been achieved by the new upgraded S6 module. 
With the booming of building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) market, Sunport 
Power has received orders from multiple overseas customers in Europe, Japan, 
Australia, etc. 

MWT technology

The S6 Flexible Module of Sunport Power applies unique Metal Wrap Through (MWT) 
technology as its fundamental. The MWT is an advanced back contact technology 
to increase solar cell and module efficiency by eliminating the busbar on the 
front side, and deploy both positive and negative electrodes on the rear side. 
Compared to conventional module, the power yield of MWT products increased by 
3% and around 15W more output.

MWT technology is a promising technology. Prof. Martin Green, chief scientist 
of Sunport Power said: "MWT is not a merely technology, but a platform on which 
many other cell technologies can be attached on."

Excellent features of S6 flexible module

Equipped with MWT, the S6 flexible module is known for its excellent features 
of light, thin, flexible and lead-free.

The silicon-based flexible module is only 4 kg in weight and 1.4mm thick, 
compared to a conventional PV module 19 kg in weight and 35-40mm thick. This 
makes S6 especially suitable for application of BIPV which requires strict 
specifications of weight in many scenarios, such as roof, wall, sunshade, etc. 

With the help of selected special polymer materials the front layer of the S6 
module has outstanding bending flexibility and with minimum curve radius of 25 
cm, which greatly expands the application and possibility.

With unique design, S6 flexible module successfully achieves lead-free by using 
conductive foil and becomes an eco-friendly product. 

Product guarantee

The newly developed S6 module honored certificate by TUV. The first year 
degradation is less than 2% and linear power output will be guaranteed above 
82% within 25 years, the warranty re-insurance is provided by Lloyd's, covering 
global market.

"Sunport Power's S6 module obtains the advantages of High efficiency, High 
reliability, Superior warranty, High ROI, Aesthetic design and Lead-free. 
Different from conventional modules, S6 can be customized for shape and art 
design which brings more applications and possibilities to the BIPV market in 
need of appearance," said Dianna Tao, vice president of Sunport Power. "In 
fact, with the excellent flexibility, the light and thin S6 module is 
especially suitable for curved surface, low-load capacity roofs, and facades, 
etc," added Tao.

Dr. Zhang Fengming, the founder and CEO of Sunport Power expressed his ambition 
of S6 flexible module to press: "The marriage of S6 Flexible Module and BIPV 
has already begun to show its promise for the prospective future. And this 
trend has no sign of slowing down in its trajectory. In future, Sunport Power 
will continue trying to fulfill diversified market needs in different segments 
with our advantageous products."
