The Boviet Solar VEGA SERIES (Bifacial Double Glass) are bifacial modules with a glass-on-glass construction, designed to realistically increase energy yield by utilizing light from both sides - reflecting and diffuse light. In practice, this solves the common problem of "unused" installation surroundings: a clear roof, gravel, concrete, or snow, which can become an additional source of energy production.

Compared to many standard panels, it stands out due to its bifaciality and double-glass construction, which supports long-term stability and resistance in demanding operating conditions. The use of modern cell architecture, including half-cut and multi-busbar, helps minimize losses in partially shaded conditions and improves the module's performance under daily thermal and mechanical loads.

The VEGA SERIES is particularly suitable for commercial and industrial installations, as well as PV farms, where predictable yield and component durability are key. Projects with high albedo and mounting solutions that provide access to the back of the module offer the greatest benefits.

What owners get
BNEF Tier 1 Confirmed in Q1 2026

Boviet Solar has maintained Bloomberg NEF Tier 1 status continuously since 2017, including Q1 2026. The manufacturer is also listed in the Wood Mackenzie Top 10 Most Bankable Global PV Module Manufacturers (since 2024) and the Sinovoltaics Top 10 Most Financially Stable Manufacturers (2025 edition) — translating into reduced project financing risk and broad bankability acceptance for utility-scale installations.

30-Year Linear Power Output Warranty

The manufacturer guarantees degradation of ≤0.5%/year from year 2 onward, with a minimum output of ≥83% after 30 years (year 1: ≥97.5%). A 30-year warranty is a clear differentiator against the 25-year market standard offered by the majority of competitors in the bifacial PERC segment.

Glass-Glass Construction + Bifacial Design

The dual-glass encapsulation eliminates the rear EVA backsheet, significantly improving resistance to moisture ingress, PID, and mechanical loading. The bifacial design enables additional energy harvest from the rear side of the module in high-albedo installations (concrete, gravel, snow), typically yielding 5–15% additional annual production under European conditions.

Half-Cut Cells + Multi-Busbar

Splitting cells in half reduces operating current and resistive losses (I²R), while multi-busbar technology shortens current-flow paths within each cell. The result is improved module performance under partial shading conditions and a higher fill factor (FF) in real-world operation — a meaningful advantage in commercial rooftop and utility-scale PV installations.

PVEL Top Performer — 3 Consecutive Years

The series has achieved Top Performer status in independent PVEL (PV Evolution Labs) testing for three consecutive scorecard editions, confirming above-average durability and parameter stability across PAN, LeTID, and mechanical stress tests. This is a key consideration during technical due diligence for externally financed projects.

Trade-offs
PERC Technology — Lower Efficiency Than TOPCon Peers

The series reaches a maximum efficiency of 21.06%, while comparably priced peer modules (Risen RSM96-11: 23%, SunKean SKT: 23.02%) achieve approximately 2 percentage points more using N-type TOPCon cells. This translates into a larger footprint required to achieve the same power output — a meaningful constraint in roof-area-limited installations.

Lower Bifaciality Factor of PERC Technology

PERC cells exhibit a bifaciality factor of approximately 70%, compared to 80–85% for TOPCon and ~90% for HJT. In high-albedo installations, the VEGA series generates less additional rear-side yield than N-type market alternatives — despite featuring a bifacial glass-glass construction.

Common questions

6 answered
How much additional energy do Boviet Solar VEGA SERIES panels produce thanks to their bifacial design?
Thanks to their bifacial architecture, VEGA SERIES modules can harvest energy from both the front and rear sides — capturing light reflected from the ground surface (gravel, concrete, light-colored roofing, snow). In practice, rear-side yield typically contributes an additional 5–25% of output, depending on the albedo of the surrounding environment and the mounting angle. The brighter the surface beneath the panels and the greater the clearance below them, the more pronounced the bifacial gain.
What warranty is offered on Boviet Solar VEGA SERIES panels?
Boviet Solar provides a 12-year product warranty covering material defects and workmanship, along with a 30-year linear power output warranty. In the first year, the module is guaranteed to retain at least 97.5% of its nominal power, with an annual degradation rate not exceeding 0.5% from year two onward. After 30 years, the panel is warranted to produce no less than 83% of its rated peak power of 460 Wp.
Will VEGA SERIES modules perform well in winter and under overcast skies?
Yes. The PERC cell technology combined with a half-cut cell architecture improves sensitivity to diffuse irradiance, resulting in better energy production under the overcast conditions typical of many European climates. A temperature coefficient of -0.35%/°C means the modules operate efficiently on cooler days — in fact, lower ambient temperatures can slightly increase efficiency compared to hot summer conditions.
How does a double glass construction differ from a standard panel with a polymer backsheet?
In the VEGA SERIES, both sides of the module are protected by tempered glass rather than a polymer backsheet. Glass offers superior resistance to moisture ingress, UV radiation, and mechanical stress, resulting in slower long-term degradation. This is particularly important for ground-mounted installations, utility-scale PV farms, and agrivoltaic applications, where modules are exposed to harsh environmental conditions for several decades.
Is the Boviet Solar VEGA SERIES a good choice for a solar farm or large commercial installation?
Yes, the VEGA SERIES is engineered for utility-scale, commercial, and industrial applications. Boviet Solar is a Tier 1 manufacturer recognized by independent rating agencies as a financially bankable module supplier. With power output up to 460 Wp, a bifacial design, and a 30-year power warranty, the series is well suited to projects with long investment horizons and demanding performance requirements.
What are the benefits of half-cut cell technology and multi-busbar design in Boviet Solar VEGA SERIES panels?
Splitting each cell in half (half-cut) reduces internal resistance and limits losses under partial shading — a shaded half-cell does not block the operation of the entire string. Multi-busbar design, which uses a greater number of thinner busbars to collect current, shortens electron path length and reduces the incidence of microcracks in the cells. Together, these features improve real-world energy yield under the variable irradiance conditions encountered in daily operation.
