DC Solar® EclectIQ

When every square meter of roof surface counts (and when doesn’t it) modular efficiency (KWh/m2) is essential. DC Solar Systems EclectIQ solar panels offer an unprecedented module efficiency, in addition to the unmatched back contact technology efficiency. The number of panels can be saved, but even better: yield can be increased with additional panels at the created space. Isn’t that always a great idea?

Back-contact technology allows playing with design.

DC Solar Systems solar panels are designed to meet the best standards in the industry. Or surpass them. Nothing less and nothing more.

In order to be able to offer a solution for both residential and commercial end-users, DC Solar Systems produces several types of designer-modules, with peak power values ranging from 345 to 370 Wattpeak (Wp). And more to come.

Still compact (1683×1023 mm), light (17,6 kg) and with an incredible power density, resulting in maximum power harvest for residential and commercial environments.

DC Solar Systems solar modules combine innovative MWT cell and module technology of the highest quality to achieve high efficiency, excellent weak light performance and durability under dynamic weather conditions.

The lack of busbars, tabbers, stringers ensure a more sturdy module while increasing the actual power harvest with architectural design.

Benefits

MWT – PERC solar cells

More net surface to generate power. Each solar cell converts sunlight into electricity. PERC monocrystalline cells are known for their broader spectral response, allowing them to generate lots of power in the early morning and late afternoon light as well. Combined with MWT (Multi Wrap Through) technology, the cells have a larger working surface that is exposed to the sun than conventional cells. Busbars are unnecessary. Above all: busbar-shading is completely ruled out!

  • ~3% More working surface
  • >0.5% More efficiency

Minimized micro-crack risk

More robust than conventional modules. Small cracks in solar cells are impossible to see with the bare eye, but can really impact the performance of a PV system. Most solar cells are composed of very thin silicon wafers, usually around 0.15 – 0.20 mm thick. Pressure or stress can induce micro-cracks. Newbies in the solar industry often unknowingly create micro-cracks by throwing boxes of gear on top of stacked panels or even balancing panels on their heads as they walk towards a ladder. Standing or kneeling on panels during installation is also a contributor to micro-cracks.
DC Solar Systems backcontact modules are more robust than conventional modules because of the integrated Conductive Backsheet (CBS). This innovative copper design ensures optimal contact with an incredible number of contact points across the entire cell. It acts as an additional (metal) environmental barrier to protect the cells and keep them sturdily in place, and actually strengthens the contacting architecture. If a micro-crack should occur, the cell will still be in perfect contact with the copper that conducts the energy, effectively designing the negative effects of microcracks out of the module.
Quality cells combined with high-quality European solar glass and sturdy frames makes DC Solar Systems modules virtually immune to micro-cracks in real-life conditions.

DSM Anti-Reflective Coating

Simply catching the sun better. Our modules are fabricated with Royal DSM’s AR coating (nowadays part of the Covestro portfolio). This provides an improved ‘angle of attack’ effect. The result? Less reflection, and the generation of more solar power. Especially when the sun is low: in the early mornings and in late afternoons. Many of the standardized specifications in the solar industry solely show measurements made with perpendicular incident light. But in practice, circumstances are never this ideal. DC Solar Systems solar panels perform way better, especially when the light falls in at a low angle, which is often the case in many Northern European countries. A reassuring thought!
