Strong in heat, no clear weak spot
The ENCOR EC395M-10-108FB series is built for investors who want a modern look paired with reliability proven on the Polish market. The panel uses half-cut monocrystalline cells, which handle partial shading better and reduce power losses compared to classic full-size modules. Its distinctive, uniform appearance comes from a real full black design - a black backsheet combined with a black anodized aluminum frame lets the module blend seamlessly with any roof type and building architecture, making it a popular choice for residential installations with higher aesthetic requirements. The manufacturer also focused on ease of installation, equipping the panel with extended cables and original MC4 connectors, which simplify horizontal mounting and help lower shipping costs. Long-term durability is backed by a 12-year product warranty and a 25-year linear power warranty, guaranteeing output no lower than 84.8 percent after a quarter century of use. Manufactured by the Polish company Corab, the EC395M-10-108FB module is a sound choice for installers looking for a panel that combines aesthetics, performance, and local warranty support.
Ranking
Signals from the data
Residential and commercial.
Top 6% of the PERC 350-400 W segment, against a median of -0.350. Ranked 8,545th in the whole database.
Top 7% of the PERC 350-400 W segment, against a median of 55.8. Ranked 4,073rd in the whole database.
Top 12% of the PERC 350-400 W segment, against a median of 199.0.
Half-cut cell technology reduces resistive losses and improves partial-shading behavior compared to classic full-size cells, translating into a higher real-world energy yield in built-up residential environments.
The 20.39% efficiency is clearly higher than the comparable Waaree EDO PRO (19.83%) and the HT-SAAE TOPCon Double Glass module (15.4%), making the EC395M-10-108FB a competitive choice in terms of power density per roof area.
The black backsheet and black anodized aluminum frame give a uniform, aesthetic look valued in residential installations, and production by Polish manufacturer Corab (founded 1991) simplifies local warranty support and logistics.
The panel comes with extended cables and original MC4 connectors, simplifying horizontal module installation and reducing the need for additional extension cables and transport costs.
The manufacturer guarantees at least 84.8% power output retention after 25 years (90% at 15 years), matching the market standard for PERC modules from this production period.
The EC395M-10-108FB series is no longer manufactured (listed as discontinued in the ENF Solar Panel Directory), limiting availability of identical modules for system expansion and potentially complicating future warranty replacements.
The 20.39% efficiency trails the Meyer Burger Black module (21.5%), based on HJT/SmartWire technology, meaning the ENCOR panel requires a larger surface area to match the same yield at the equal 395 Wp rating.
- Efficiency of 20.4% is 0.9pp above the PERC 0-400W median (19.4%)
- At 203.9 W/m² power density, this panel generates 9.5 W/m² more per unit area than PERC 0-400W median (194.4 W/m²)
- At -0.33%/°C (vs median -0.36%/°C), loses ~1% less power in hot conditions
- In the top 83% for efficiency among all PERC panels
