Frequently Asked Questions by clients
TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact): High efficiency (around 25% in mass production), mature process, and cost-effectiveness, making it suitable for large-scale applications. Currently, it offers the best balance between performance and cost as the mainstream technology. HJT (Heterojunction): Higher efficiency potential (>26.8% in laboratories), high bifaciality, very low degradation, and superior performance under high-temperature and low-light conditions, making it more suitable for utility-scale power plants and premium markets. BC (Back Contact, including IBC/HPBC/ABC): No front busbars, resulting in a cleaner appearance and maximum light absorption. With efficiency potential above 27%, it is especially suitable for high-end residential and public building applications. Future trends: TOPCon is expected to remain the mainstream technology for the next 3–5 years. HJT will grow rapidly in premium and space-constrained markets as costs decline. BC technology represents the ceiling of photovoltaic efficiency and will gradually gain popularity in the high-end market. Project recommendations: For lower initial investment → TOPCon; for utility-scale plants or projects targeting long-term efficiency → HJT; for high-end residential or projects requiring premium aesthetics → BC. Astra can supply solar modules based on all three technologies—TOPCon, HJT, and BC—to meet diverse project needs.
To help assess a suitable configuration, please share the project location, application, load profile, target capacity, grid conditions, site constraints, and expected timeline. The more project context you can provide, the more clearly the requirements can be reviewed.
The right configuration depends on factors such as your load profile, solar generation, backup objectives, grid availability, installation space, and operating priorities. ASTRA can review the requirements you provide; the final design depends on the specific project conditions.
Please use the Support & Service or Contact Us section of this website. Include the product model, serial number if available, installation location, and a description of the issue. Photos or system logs may also help the team understand the situation.
The ASTRA portfolio includes energy storage systems, inverters and power conversion systems, batteries, solar panels, and solar mounting products. Available configurations vary by product and project requirements.
ASTRA solutions can be configured for residential, commercial, and industrial applications, including grid-tied, off-grid, and hybrid projects. The appropriate system depends on the site, operating goals, and technical requirements.
