Hyundai offers compact 250W high-performance modules for UK rooftop market
Hyundai has launched two new 250W module types in the UK, specifically to meet UK installer requirements. The S250RF(BF) and the M250RG(BK) are 54-cell 250W modules using monocrystalline Passivated Emitter, Rear Locally-Diffused Cell (PERL) cells enabling a claimed 10% reduction in roof space to achieve a 4kW system.
Problem
Since the arrival of the Feed-in-tariff in 2010, the UK market has seen the 250W module move from being the holy-grail to the work horse of domestic PV. 250W modules are the most preferred module size for domestic installations because 16 modules of 250W can make an exact 4kW system and comply with the best FiT rates for residential rooftop systems. However, constant cell efficiency gains have led to higher module performance levels within the standard 60-cell configuration, resulting in less system optimisation and more complex design calculations. With conventional 60-cell modules, a 4kW system may require about 23 m2 of space and weigh 265kg.
