HJT

Also called: Heterojunction Technology · HIT

In one line

Solar cell technology combining crystalline and amorphous silicon layers, offering higher efficiency at higher capex than TOPCon.

What it means

HJT (Heterojunction Technology) combines monocrystalline silicon with thin amorphous silicon layers, achieving very low surface recombination losses. Mass-production efficiency averages 25.9% — slightly higher than TOPCon. HJT historically carried a capex premium, but silver paste reduction and indium-free TCO have closed the gap in 2025–2026.
