Solar wafer size evolvement In order to increase the power of solar panels and reduce the cost of solar panels, the silicon wafer industry has been driven to continuously expand the size of silicon wafers, from M2, M4, G1, M6, M10, and finally to M12 (G12) and M10+.
What do "M" and "G" stand for in solar wafer size? It begins with the letter "G", which means that the solar silicon wafer is full square Beginning with the letter "M", it means that the solar silicon wafer is Pseudo-square and has chamfer.
Used for high-efficiency PERC, TOPCon, and HJT (Heterojunction) solar cells. 2. G Series (Large-Size Silicon Wafers, G12 = 210mm) The G series represents the trend of larger wafer sizes, mainly used in high-efficiency monocrystalline PERC, TOPCon, and HJT modules.
Conclusion The evolution of wafer sizes in the PV industry, from M0 (156.75mm) to M10 (182mm) and G12 (210mm), reflects the industry's pursuit of larger sizes, higher efficiency, and lower LCOE (Levelized Cost of Electricity).
