This status reflects the manufacturer's ability to secure non-recourse financing across at least six projects exceeding 5 MW, underpinning its bankability for lease structures and project finance. - **Efficiency up to 21.29% with PERC** - A peak efficiency of 21.29% positions the STAR SERIES at the forefront of the monofacial PERC segment: IBC Solar 182M Half Cell reaches 21.28% and Adani ETERNAL SHINE 21.31%, making the series directly comparable to established market peers. Given that PERC technology approaches a practical efficiency ceiling of approximately 21.6%, a rating of 21.29% represents near-maximum exploitation of this cell class. - **32 variants, 385–550 Wp range** - An exceptionally broad lineup of 32 variants across 54-, 60-, and 72-cell formats (385–550 Wp) enables precise module selection for residential prosumer systems, C&I facilities, and utility-scale PV plants without design compromises or the need to source a different series. - **Power warranty up to 30 years** - Selected variants carry a 30-year linear power warranty (minimum 84.8% rated power after 25 years at an annual degradation rate of ~0.55%/yr), exceeding the 25-year standard offered by peer comparables such as IBC Solar and Adani, and providing a robust basis for project LCOE modeling. - **Half-Cut Cells + SMBB** - The half-cut cell design halves each cell, reducing resistive losses and limiting output drop under partial shading. Combined with a Super Multi-Busbar (SMBB) layout, current path lengths are shortened and susceptibility to microcracks is reduced — both hallmarks of modern premium PERC modules in this power class. ## Cons - **Series Discontinued** - The STAR SERIES is marked as discontinued (launched 2022, end-of-production confirmed in series data); it has not appeared among active products on egingpv.com since late 2024. This translates to limited availability of new units, risk of unavailability of replacement components (frames, junction boxes), and reduced after-sales serviceability for installations with long operational horizons. - **PERC Technology — Higher LID Losses** - P-type PERC cells exhibit Light-Induced Degradation (LID) of approximately 1.9% in the first year versus ~0.26% for N-type TOPCon under equivalent irradiation (60 kWh/m²), with an ongoing annual degradation of ~0.55%/yr compared to ~0.4%/yr for N-type. This results in measurably lower cumulative energy yield over 25 years relative to the increasingly prevalent TOPCon modules — a technology that captured approximately 66% of global production in 2024. - **Product Warranty of 12–15 Years** - The product (workmanship) warranty spans only 12–15 years, whereas premium manufacturers such as REC, SunPower, and Panasonic offer a standard 25-year product warranty. The shorter coverage may represent a risk factor in long-term lease agreements or where commercial project lenders impose minimum warranty requirements. - **Monofacial Only** - The entire series is monofacial (is\_bifacial: false), precluding any energy gain from reflected irradiance. In ground-mount and flat-roof installations with high-albedo surfaces, bifacial modules typically deliver 5–15% higher annual energy yield — an advantage available, for example, in the same manufacturer's Star Series BF-DG variant, which is not offered within this series. ## About this series The EGing PV STAR SERIES was designed to maximize energy yield in real-world installation conditions - especially on cooler days, overcast skies, or early and late sun. What sets it apart is its use of **N-Type TOPCon cells**, which help minimize power losses during operation and better withstand demanding environmental conditions. The **Half-Cell** construction and **SMBB (multi busbar)** design support higher operational efficiency by reducing resistances and improving module performance under partial shading. Depending on the variant, the series also includes **bifacial dual glass** versions, which can effectively utilize reflected light from the ground - a particular advantage in ground-mounted installations, flat roofs, and systems with light-colored surfaces. The STAR SERIES is an excellent choice for investors seeking modules for residential, C&I, and utility-scale PV farms, where high yield, durability against degradation, and predictable long-term production are key. ## Notable figures - At 20.2% efficiency, this panel is 0.8pp above typical \*\*PERC 0-400W\*\* modules (median: 19.4%) - Power density of 202.3 W/m² packs 7.9 W/m² more into the same footprint vs \*\*PERC 0-400W\*\* median (194.4 W/m²) - Temperature coefficient of -0.35%/°C matches the \*\*PERC 0-400W\*\* median - In the top 85% for efficiency among all PERC panels ## Questions ### Is the EGing PV STAR SERIES still available for purchase? The EGing PV STAR SERIES has been discontinued and is no longer actively marketed by the manufacturer. Occasional stock may still be found with distributors, but availability is severely limited. If you are looking for currently produced EGing PV modules with comparable specifications, it is advisable to ask your supplier about the successor series or an equivalent model from the current product lineup. ### What warranty is offered on the EGing PV STAR SERIES panels? The manufacturer provides a 15-year product warranty on STAR SERIES modules and a 30-year linear power output warranty. This means the panels are guaranteed to retain a specified percentage of their nominal efficiency over three decades of operation. A long-term power warranty is a critical factor when calculating the return on investment for a photovoltaic installation in residential or commercial applications. ### What cell technology is used in the EGing PV STAR SERIES? The STAR SERIES is built on PERC cells arranged in a half-cut configuration with an SMBB (Super Multi Busbar) design. The half-cut cell technology splits each cell into two halves, reducing internal resistance and improving tolerance to partial shading. The multi-busbar layout shortens the current path and minimizes resistive losses, resulting in higher energy yield under real-world operating conditions. ### What is the highest wattage module available in the EGing PV STAR SERIES? The maximum rated power in the STAR SERIES is 550 Wp. For a typical single-family home with an annual consumption of 4,000–5,000 kWh, 8 to 12 modules of this size are generally sufficient. Higher per-module wattages translate to fewer panels required for a given system capacity, which can simplify installation and reduce balance-of-system (BoS) mounting costs. ### Do the EGing PV STAR SERIES panels perform well under partial shading, such as from a chimney or dormer window? Yes, the half-cut cell design combined with the SMBB layout significantly improves module performance under partial shading conditions compared to conventional full-cell panels. Shading one half of a cell does not suppress the output of the entire module to the same degree as in a standard cell configuration. For installations that are particularly susceptible to shading — such as those affected by dormers, chimneys, or antennas — it is worth additionally considering power optimizers or microinverters. ### What is the difference between the EGing PV STAR SERIES and the STAR PRO series from the same manufacturer? The key distinction lies in cell technology: the STAR SERIES uses PERC cells, whereas the STAR PRO employs more advanced N-Type TOPCon cells, which offer a lower temperature coefficient and reduced long-term degradation. The STAR PRO also achieves higher module efficiencies and handles prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures more effectively. The STAR SERIES represented a competitive price-point option; however, given that it has been discontinued, its availability today is limited. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/Scheda-Tecnica-EGING-410-415-HLV-STAR-SERIES-compressed-838cee7af035.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [Luxor Solar LX-440M/182-108+GG](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-440m-182-108-gg) | 440 W | Cooler, +2.9 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M360W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m360w) | 360 W | Lighter, +2.8 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M380W (1/4\*4\*38)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m380w-1-4-4-38) | 380 W | Lighter, +2.8 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M400W (1/2\*4\*20)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m400w-1-2-4-20) | 400 W | Lighter, +2.8 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M400W (1/4\*4\*40)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m400w-1-4-4-40) | 400 W | Lighter, +2.8 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M380W (1/2\*4\*19)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m380w-1-2-4-19) | 380 W | Lighter, +2.8 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Jetion JT440SYK(B)](https://comparepv.com/panel/jetion-jt440syk-b) | 440 W | Cooler, +2.7 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Luxor Solar LX-440M/182-108+](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-440m-182-108) | 440 W | +45 W, cooler, +2.6 pp | | [EGing PV EG-385M54-HLV (black)](https://comparepv.com/panel/eging-pv-eg-385m54-hlv-black) | 385 W | -10 W, -0.5 pp | | [EGing PV EG-390M54-HLV (black)](https://comparepv.com/panel/eging-pv-eg-390m54-hlv-black) | 390 W | -0.2 pp | | [EGing PV EG-400M54-HLV (black)](https://comparepv.com/panel/eging-pv-eg-400m54-hlv-black) | 400 W | +0.3 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | +115 W, cooler, +4.8 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | +100 W, cooler, +4.6 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-505M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-505m) | 505 W | +110 W, cooler, +4.5 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A490-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a490-mce54mw) | 490 W | +95 W, cooler, +4.3 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-500m) | 500 W | +105 W, cooler, +4.3 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/eging-pv-eg-415m54-hlv-395w Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
