TaiyangNews的报告分析了过去两年顶级太阳能组件的效率。2024年，最高效率仅提升了0.2%，但过去两年累计提升了1.4%。年初，IBC技术占据前两名，HJT位列第三。5月起，前三名均为IBC技术。AIKO年初以24%的效率领先，5月推出24.2%的组件打破记录。LONGi的HPBC组件保持23.2%的效率，Maxeon的IBC组件以24.1%的效率升至第二，将LONGi挤至第三，Huasun的HJT组件跌出前三。2024年底，前三名有两款组件效率超过24%。2023年发展更为显著，AIKO的ABC组件在3月以23.6%的效率成为当时最高，6月达到24%的里程碑。Huasun的HJT组件在9月短暂进入前三，但年底前三名仍为IBC技术。

🥇 2024年太阳能组件效率提升幅度较小，但过去两年累计提升显著，IBC技术在2024年占据主导地位，AIKO持续突破自身记录。

🥈 2023年太阳能组件效率提升更为显著，AIKO的ABC组件在3月以23.6%的效率领先，并在6月达到24%的里程碑，打破行业记录。

🥉 2023年Huasun的HJT组件在9月短暂进入前三，但IBC技术仍占据主导地位，年底前三名均为IBC技术组件。

📈 LONGi和Maxeon在2023年和2024年的竞争中，不断提升组件效率，但最终被AIKO和Maxeon的IBC组件超越。

TaiyangNews Top Solar Modules report analyzed the top 3 solar module efficiencies over the last 2 years.  During 2024, the top efficiency improved only by 0.2%, but it is a significant 1.4% absolute when looking at the last 2 years put together. At the beginning of 2024, IBC held the top 2 ranks while HJT was 3rd. Starting in May, the top 3 efficiency spots have become an exclusive IBC forte. All the 3 ranks saw a revision each during this period. Having held the top rank since the start of the year with an efficiency of 24%, AIKO beat its own record by commercializing a 24.2% efficiency module in May (see Efficiency Trends And Technology Shifts In TOP SOLAR MODULES).LONGi’s HPBC module, which held the 2nd spot with an efficiency of23.2%, remained unchanged throughout the year. However, Maxeon commercialized a module based on IBC technology with an efficiency of 24.1%. With this module, Maxeon claimed the 2nd position while pushing LONGi’s product to 3rd and Huasun’s HJT module out of the top 3. Thus, at the end of 2024, the TOP SOLAR MODULES list features 2 commercial modules with efficiencies above the 24% efficiency benchmark.In contrast, the developments in 2023 were more phenomenal. At the beginning of the year, IBC modules from LONGi and Maxeon shared the top spot with the same efficiency figure of 22.8%, with JinkoSolar’s 22.65% efficiency TOPCon module in 3rd. There was no change in the top 3 ranks in February, but the next change was a rather groundbreaking one that took place in March. China’s prime cell maker AIKO ventured into the module supply business with the commercialization of a 23.6% efficiency module – the highest commercial module efficiency at the time. With AIKO’s ABC module entering the list in March, the top 3 ranks became exclusive to IBC modules. While AIKO maintained its lead, March and April saw LONGi and Maxeon share the 2nd position. However, the rankings changed in May as LONGi upgraded the efficiency of its Hi-MO 6 module series to 23.2%, making the 2nd position its own. June marked another significant development as AIKO created history by attaining a landmark efficiency of 24% for commercial modules. The next change in the top 3 ranks took place in September, when Huasun breached the IBC fortress with its HJT module with an efficiency of 23.02%, ranking 3rd on the list. The top 3 ranks remained so for the rest of 2023 (see Tracking Efficiency Improvements In Solar Modules).
