Solar panels are getting bigger thanks to a technology called perc.
Perc solar panels.
Today just about every panel manufacturer is offering mono perc solar modules and poly perc solar modules at 300w.
Some are even offering an extremely affordable 330w mono perc module.

Panels incorporating perc technology give more freedom to developers and designers especially when dealing with unorthodox spaces or locations that were once thought to be less than desirable for solar.
Perc cell technology defines a solar cell architecture that differs from the standard cell architecture that has been in use for three decades and that is usually featured in all photovoltaic manuals.
The use of perc in solar panels is increasingly common and could reach 50 market share in a few years.
That is it can turn a boring old 16 efficient panel into an exciting 17 efficient one.
At its core a perc solar cell is simply a more efficient solar cell meaning that solar panels built with perc cells can convert sunlight into usable electricity more easily.
Perc panels have a higher energy density per square foot and perform well under low light conditions and high temperatures.
As of today the vast majority of crystalline solar cells produced follow the structure presented hereunder.
Already there are numerous manufacturers that currently sell perc solar panels for the residential market.
The reason it has become popular is because it adds little to the cost of solar panels while increasing their efficiency by around one whole percentage point.
Currently around one quarter of new solar panels are perc and the figure may reach 50 in 2020.
Here is a partial list of panels that incorporate perc.
Tindo solar is the only australian manufacture and although supply is limited they are well regarded for producing high.
