HBC Solar Cell Technology
Our solar awning utilizes cutting-edge Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin Layer Back Contact (HBC) solar cell technology. Encapsulated in ETFE film. These advanced cells offer superior efficiency, converting more sunlight into usable energy compared to traditional solar cells.
HBC technology excels in partial shading, ensuring consistent power generation throughout the day. With a focus on durability and longevity, these cells provide a sustainable and reliable energy source for your off-grid adventures. Experience the benefits of advanced solar technology with our innovative awning.
Efficiency in Every Angle
The solar cells are equipped with an advanced omnidirectional layer that helps capture sunlight from all angles, ensuring optimal performance even when the sun is at a low angle. This means you don’t have to worry about where you park, as the awning continues to generate power efficiently in varying light conditions.
The HBC cells also excel in high-temperature environments, making them perfect for the intense Australian heat. They maintain their impressive output even under scorching conditions, ensuring consistent energy production no matter the weather.
In addition, the cells are back-faced, reducing shading and increasing overall efficiency compared to traditional mounted panels. This design feature helps maximize the power generated throughout the day, even when the sun isn’t directly overhead.
When the awning is retracted, the small amount of exposed panel acts as a trickle charger, keeping your batteries topped up and ensuring your power system stays ready for use, even when the awning is not fully extended.
