Solar modules comprising cut cells are meanwhile part of the standard portfolio of almost every solar module manufacturer and supplier, with an increasing trend towards half cut/multi cut cells and shingle technology. The shingle technology uses solar cells not only being cut in half but also into multiple strips (3, 4 to 8). By dividing the cells, the electrical resistance of the metallization decreases, leading to a higher efficiency of the 
solar modules in comparison to the use of full cells, e.g., M10, G12. This even overcompensates Voc losses caused by damaged edges after cutting processes.
