efficiency solar solutions.
Innovative Multi-busbar Design for High Power
Performance
The new SunBravo mono-crystalline module series apply an
advanced multi-busbar technology featuring shorter current path,
and novel design to improve absorption of light and reduce
electrical loss, contributing to significantly higher power
performance and reliability. The 72-cell SunBravo module, in
particular, boasts an impressive power output of 390W, gaining as
much as 6% more power than its conventional five-busbar
mono-crystalline counterparts. The 60-cell true black SunBravo
module is also available, whose sleek and sophisticated appearance
makes it an aesthetic alternative for users.
AUO continues to satisfy customer needs in power plants and
large-scale projects with high-efficiency solar modules. Using
high-efficiency back-contact solar cells, the SunForte shows a
