As global demand for renewable energy continues to rise, solar power, as a leader in this field, is constantly undergoing innovation and breakthroughs. Recently, Gstar announced that its latest solar module product, the CleanEdge Module, has successfully obtained patent certification from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) thanks to its innovative design.
The most standout feature of the CleanEdge Module is its frameless design on the front (A-side). This innovative design completely eliminates the protrusion of traditional module frames, not only making the module a full-screen appearance but also significantly preventing water and dust accumulation in practical applications. By maintaining the cleanliness of the module’s edge, the CleanEdge Module effectively reduces the power generation efficiency loss caused by dust and moisture buildup, resulting in a 6-15% higher power generation over its entire lifecycle compared to normal modules.
Furthermore, the CleanEdge Module can achieve self-cleaning through rainwater, effectively saving on cleaning and maintenance costs. Research shows that an average American household needs to clean and maintain its solar panels 4 times per year, with more frequent maintenance required in areas with severe dust, pollution, or bird activity. The CleanEdge Module only needs a simple cleaning once a year, saving an American solar-powered household $24375 over its 25-year lifespan.
In addition to its design breakthroughs, the CleanEdge Module also excels in photovoltaic cell technology, ensuring a higher power conversion efficiency than thin-film modules. It adopts advanced N-type cell technology, renowned in the photovoltaic industry for its high conversion efficiency, excellent temperature coefficient, outstanding low-light performance, and low degradation characteristics. Leveraging these technological advantages, the CleanEdge Module can maintain stable power generation performance under various complex climatic conditions, providing users with more reliable and efficient energy solutions.
In terms of appearance design, the CleanEdge Module also strives for harmony and aesthetics. The frame color is carefully designed in black, coordinating with the overall color and enhancing the visual appeal, making it easy to integrate into various application scenarios.
To cater to various applications, Gstar offers a range of power options. For home users such as RVs, yachts, and residential properties, we recommend the front frameless 100W, 200W, and 440W CleanEdge Modules.
For commercial and industrial power station use, Gstar offers 455W and 630W modules with a short-edge frameless design. Notably, these CleanEdge Modules are equipped with larger 210R cells, achieving a conversion efficiency of 25.2%. Additionally, the module’s optimized design lowers BOS costs, offering users more reliable and efficient energy solutions.
It is worth noting that Gstar’s CleanEdge Module production base is located in Laos, with a module factory capacity of 2GW. This layout not only ensures an adequate supply of modules but also provides users with more reliable traceability guarantees. Customers can rest assured to purchase Gstar’s CleanEdge Module and enjoy trustworthy high-quality products and services.
Gstar chose to apply for a patent in the United States not only because Gstar’s core branch is based there, but also due to its strong sales network in this country. With its excellent performance and unique design, the CleanEdge Module will be a key driver for Gstar to further develop the U.S. market. The patent approval marks the official entry of Gstar’s CleanEdge Module into the U.S. market. Utilizing both online and offline sales channels, Gstar is confident that more local users will appreciate the outstanding advantages of the CleanEdge Module. We look forward to collaborating with more local customers in the U.S. to promote the widespread adoption of photovoltaic technology, contributing significantly to the development of the renewable energy.
