Taiwan solar cell makers introducing PERC process to hike energy efficiency

Many Taiwan-based crystalline silicon solar cell makers have introduced or plan to introduce PERC (passivated emitter and rear cell) process to increase energy conversion rates for P-type monocrystalline solar cells from 18-19% to 19-20%, with total annual PERC production capacity estimated at 1GWp in fourth-quarter 2014 and increasing to 2GWp in first-half 2015, according to industry sources.
