<p>A TÜV NORD study found that back-contact (BC) modules outperform TOPCon modules under mild partial shading, particularly when three or fewer cells are shaded across different substrings within a string. However, once shading exceeds four cells, the performance advantage disappears, with both technologies experiencing similar power losses of around 50%.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/07/08/tuv-nord-study-confirms-back-contact-advantage-over-topcon-is-limited-to-mild-shading-conditions/">TÜV NORD study finds back-contact advantage over TOPCon is limited to mild shading conditions</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.pv-magazine.com">pv magazine Global</a>.</p>
