A TÜV NORD study found that back-contact (BC) modules outperform TOPCon modules under mild partial shading, particularly when three or fewer cells are shaded across different substrings within a string. However, once shading exceeds four cells, the performance advantage disappears, with both technologies experiencing similar power losses of around 50%.

Why it matters for aerogel material buyers
This development is monitored because it may influence insulation specification, battery thermal-management design, fire protection requirements or durable building-envelope material selection.
