As shown by von Kutzleben et al. , (matrix) shingle modules can achieve higher efficiency than half cell modules, if (i) the same host cell performance is assumed and if (ii) the modules feature the same module area.
The reduced form factor of shingled solar cells makes them very appealing and effective for use in integrated module products, which is demonstrated by a successful automotive application, additionally profiting from the high p attained. Drawing from the
Shingling leads to an increase in module output power density p because of the increase in active cell area and the low electrical resistance in the interconnection. The appealing homogeneous appearance raises interest in their use in vehicle-integrated PV (VIPV) and building-integrated PV (BIPV) applications.
