Wafer: Heterojunction uses n-type wafer (vs p-type for mono.
PERC). n-type wafers are superior in performance but >5% more
expensive than p-type wafers
HJT competition uses M2 wafer size; MB already converted.
equipment to larger M4 wafer size.
Cell conversion cost of MB technology are below 8 cts/Wp for M4
wafer size due to proprietary MB technology (e.g. much less silver).
Of the 8 cts/Wp, ~20% is allocated to the depreciation of the
cell equipment (< 2 cts/Wp)
Module conversion: Due to missing economy of scale the
proprietary SmartWire currently has a -20% higher cost than
standard BB) technology but enables significant portion of the
superior performance
