Solar cell module bom

What is a solar module Bill of materials?

A Solar Module BOM (Bill of Materials) is a detailed list of every material, component, and sub-assembly required to manufacture a complete solar panel. It includes quantities, technical specifications, and material types for each element. A strong BOM leads to better cost control, efficient sourcing, and high-quality output. 1.

What is a 'bill of materials' of a PV module?

The ‘bill of materials’ (BoM) of a PV module include the encapsulants, front surface, back sheet (for mono-facial) and cell interconnections. An encapsulant is important for solar cell adhesion to the front and rear surfaces of the module.

What is a bill of materials for solar panels?

As the world shifts toward clean energy, solar modules stand at the center of the green revolution. To create reliable and efficient solar panels, manufacturers rely on a carefully defined Bill of Materials (BOM). In this guide, we explore each component used in solar module production, their role, and how they affect cost and performance.

What is included in a BOM report for PV panels?

A typical BOM report for PV panels includes the following key components: Grade and type of solar cells (e.g., monocrystalline or polycrystalline). Supplier information, cell efficiency, and quality grade. We’ve extensively covered cell efficiency and quality grades in our previous article about EL Test.
