PERC Insights | Sumble

What is PERC?

PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell) is a type of solar cell architecture that improves the efficiency of standard solar cells by adding a dielectric passivation layer on the rear surface. This layer reduces electron recombination and increases light absorption, leading to higher energy conversion rates. PERC technology is widely used in modern solar panel manufacturing to enhance performance and reduce costs.
