The ODA-108MHD series is covered by a 15-year product warranty for material and workmanship defects, as well as a 30-year linear warranty for power. This means that the manufacturer guarantees that the system will maintain a specified percentage of its nominal power of 440 W for 30 years. This is one of the longer power warranty periods available on the market, which reflects the high confidence in the durability of the N-type TOPCon and double-tempered glass technology. ### What is TOPCon technology and why should you choose the ODA-108MHD panel instead of PERC panels? TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) is a generation of N-type solar cells that offers higher efficiency compared to popular PERC cells. In the ODA-108MHD series, this translates to improved energy yield under low-light conditions, such as cloudy days, as well as a more favorable temperature coefficient, which means the panel loses less power during hot summer days. Furthermore, N-type cells are practically resistant to light-induced degradation (LID), which ensures more stable production throughout the lifespan of the installation. ### Is the Asta Energy ODA-108MHD panel suitable for underground installation? Yes, the ODA-108MHD series is particularly recommended for ground-mounted installations. The bifacial dual-glass construction allows the rear surface of the panel to capture reflected energy from the ground, which can increase energy yield by up to 15% in bright conditions, on gravel or snow. The double-tempered glass also provides high resistance to wind and snow loads, which can be significant in the Polish climate. ### What power output does the ODA-108MHD panel produce, and how many of these panels do I need for my home? The maximum power output of the module is 440 W under standard test conditions (STC). For a typical single-family home consuming 4000–5000 kWh per year, it is usually sufficient to have between 10 and 14 modules, resulting in an installation with a power of 4.4–6.2 kW. Thanks to the high efficiency of N-type TOPCon and bifacial design, a similar annual production can be achieved with fewer panels compared to older technologies, which is important when roof space is limited. ### Will Asta Energy ODA-108MHD solar panels perform adequately on a roof in Poland's winter climate? Yes. The ODA-108MHD series stands out due to two key features relevant to Polish winter conditions: double-layered tempered glass provides high resistance to snow loads, and N-type TOPCon solar cells offer improved performance in diffuse and low-light conditions typical of autumn and winter. The panel can generate power even with only a few percent of its nominal sunlight intensity, and low ambient temperatures further enhance its electrical efficiency. ### Is Austa Energy a trusted manufacturer, and is the ODA-108MHD certified? Austa Energy is a manufacturer based in India, operating on the European market. The brand does not appear in Bloomberg NEF's Tier 1 classification, but it offers standard certifications required in the EU market, such as IEC 61215 and IEC 61730. Before purchasing, it is advisable to verify the current list of certifications with a Polish distributor and to check if the panel is listed in the European Solar Test Installation (ESTI) register, which provides additional assurance of quality. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/e70dbc34bcd7df80ed8d96a6d036acdf-b1cfac5debaf.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [AIKO AIKO-A480-MAH54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a480-mah54mw) | 480 W | +50 W, lighter, +2.1 pp | | [Gokin GK-5-54HG-480M](https://comparepv.com/panel/gokin-gk-5-54hg-480m) | 480 W | +50 W, lighter, +2.1 pp | | [Jinko Solar JKM480N-48QL6-DB-F2-EU](https://comparepv.com/panel/jinko-solar-jkm480n-48ql6-db-f2-eu) | 480 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.0 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA96N-PRO-480W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka96n-pro-480w) | 480 W | +50 W, lighter, +2.0 pp | | [AUSTA ENERGY ODA410-27V-MHD](https://comparepv.com/panel/austa-energy-oda410-27v-mhd) | 410 W | -20 W, -1.0 pp | | [AUSTA ENERGY ODA415-27V-MHD](https://comparepv.com/panel/austa-energy-oda415-27v-mhd) | 415 W | -15 W, -0.8 pp | | [AUSTA ENERGY ODA420-27V-MHD](https://comparepv.com/panel/austa-energy-oda420-27v-mhd) | 420 W | -10 W, -0.5 pp | | [AUSTA ENERGY ODA425-27V-MHD](https://comparepv.com/panel/austa-energy-oda425-27v-mhd) | 425 W | -0.3 pp | | [AUSTA ENERGY ODA435-27V-MHD](https://comparepv.com/panel/austa-energy-oda435-27v-mhd) | 435 W | +0.3 pp | | [AUSTA ENERGY ODA440-27V-MHD](https://comparepv.com/panel/austa-energy-oda440-27v-mhd) | 440 W | +10 W, +0.5 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | +80 W, cooler, +3.0 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | +65 W, lighter, +2.8 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-505M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-505m) | 505 W | +75 W, cooler, +2.7 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A490-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a490-mce54mw) | 490 W | +60 W, lighter, +2.5 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-500m) | 500 W | +70 W, cooler, +2.5 pp | | [Talesun CIPRO-TN9C54M-500W](https://comparepv.com/panel/talesun-cipro-tn9c54m-500w) | 500 W | +70 W, lighter, +2.5 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/austa-energy-oda430-27v-mhd Not in this file, on the page: the I-V and temperature curves lifted from the manufacturer's datasheet, a thirty-year output simulator, a bifacial gain calculator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
