Prostar MSD450P-120 high efficiency mono perc half cell solar panel 450 watt offers better temperature-dependent performance and enhanced tolerance for mechanical loading.
Prostar 120 cell monocrystalline solar panel 450 watt is improved performance and durability. Performance-wise, half-cut cell solar panels can increase panel efficiencies by a few percentage points.
Especially for installations where shading and limited space are constraining factors, half-cut cells can make a solar panel installation even more worth the upfront cost.
By cutting solar cells in half, the current generated from each cell is halved, and lower current flowing leads to lower resistive losses as electricity moves throughout cells and wires in a solar panel.
Standard solar panels have one junction box that cables come out of located on the back of the panel near the top. Panels with half cut solar cells can have junction boxes that are split into three, as you can see in this picture of half cut panel. The middle box is for the middle bypass diode.
