【ISTANBUL, TURKEY, April，2026】 At the 18th SolarEX Istanbul 2026 Fellow Energy (FELLOW ENERJI A.S.), a world-leading Tier 1 PV manufacturer, officially launched its Jupiter solar cells and PV modules based on the fully proprietary patented PERT Plus technology, emerging as a highlight of the event. The debut of these new products marks the successful industrialization of the PERT Plus technology platform , which was initially introduced by the company in partnership with the Middle East Technical University (METU) Solar Energy Research and Application Center (ODTÜ-GÜNAM) on January 16, 2026, in Gaziantep.
As Turkey’s first manufacturer with independently developed and patented cell technology, Fellow Energy’s Jupiter series offers global PV investors a highly efficient and robust new option in the N-type technology sector. Its core values of “high efficiency, low risk, and bankability” have attracted strong interest and in-depth inquiries from numerous visitors at the exhibition.
On January 16, 2026, Fellow Energy officially introduced its innovative PERT Plus (Passivated Emitter Rear Totally Diffused Plus) technology to the industry. As a comprehensive upgrade over the conventional PERT structure, this technology adopts a doped Si film back surface field (DSF-BSF) design, delivering exceptional passivation performance while fully leveraging the inherent ultralow light-induced degradation (LID/LeTID) advantages of N-type silicon wafers.
At this SolarEX exhibition, the tangible products empowered by this technology — Jupiter cells and Jupiter series modules — made their first public appearance. The mass-produced Jupiter cells achieve a conversion efficiency of over 25.2%, with a bifaciality rate exceeding 80% and outstanding reliability verified by three-times IEC standard stress tests. The module product lineup covers a power range from 460W to 720W, catering to diverse photovoltaic power application scenarios.
Against the industry backdrop of global patent disputes and high investment thresholds, Fellow Energy’s PERT Plus technology stands out with its independent intellectual property rights. Its supply chain utilizes silicon materials from international suppliers such as OCI, complying with stringent international trade requirements and ensuring stable and reliable supply security.
Economic performance is another highlight of the PERT Plus technology. Simulation data shows that a 9.99MW PV power plant in Van, Turkey, achieves a 16.1% higher 30-year power generation output compared to conventional PERC modules, while field test data from the demonstration site indicates a 14.6% increase, on par with mainstream N-type technologies. More importantly, thanks to high compatibility with existing PERC production lines, its capital expenditure (CAPEX) risk is significantly lower than other products available on the market, enabling more competitive project internal rate of return (IRR) and a lower levelized cost of energy (LCOE).
Founded in 2020, Fellow Energy is Turkey’s first Tier 1 PV manufacturer achieving vertical integration from silicon wafers to cells and modules. The company has consistently ranked on the BloombergNEF (BNEF) Tier 1 PV Module Maker List and been recognized as a PVEL Top Performer. Committed to continuous innovation, Fellow Energy delivers photovoltaic solutions with enhanced investment value.
The successful launch of the Jupiter series not only demonstrates Fellow Energy’s strong R&D and manufacturing capabilities but also reflects its determination to provide a “better choice” for the global energy transition — pursuing cutting-edge technologies while prioritizing tangible security and returns for investors.
