Back Contact Technology

Back Contact (BC) solar cells are a high-efficiency solar cell technology where both the positive and negative electrodes are placed on the backside of the cell. This design effectively reduces shading area and enhances the absorption and utilization efficiency of sunlight.

The founder of the BC technology is Dick Swanson, also founder of SunPower.

Designed for premium residential installations, SunPower Max delivers 490-505 W with efficiency up to 24.7%. Its high-density full-screen back-contact technology creates a clean, busbar-free front while supporting high energy density, lower operating temperature and reduced hotspot risk.
