Why the industry is changing to larger solar wafers and modules?

Again on PV-tech, a clear explanation on wafer development. The wafer area grows by about 3%, which in turn increases the power of a 60-cell module by nearly 10Wp. The growth of the size of the standard (60cell) modules, via more wafer surface, is how the module manufactures hope to increase earnings per module. The market must adapt the installation effects that this new size module will have.
