I am learning day after day about PV modules (and a lot, thanks to this forum) and would like to share some info.
I have recently discovered the MWT technologies. I thought it was something new but there is a description with a good video from 2013 here
https://solarmuseum.org/cells/mwt_solar_cell/
Yep 2013 warrants a place in the museum
a more recent article is here
https://www.pv-tech.org/industry-updates/mwt-a-better-tech-route-for-pv/
I went back to read the datasheets of JA Solar panels I have looked at (about 10 of them) and they are all PERC.
I have tried to find panels using MWT and it is hard to do so and I wonder why if MWT is such a good technology (and apparently reduce manufacturing cost too) why it is difficult to find (not to source, I know there is supply's issue, here I am talking about finding references, datasheets etc.. ) such panels.
Does any of you have any experiences between PERC and MWT. What do you reckon?
Thanks
