**N-type half-cut cells with MBB technology** - The use of bifacial half-cut cells with multi-busbar (MBB) technology delivers lower LID/LeTID degradation and better tolerance to micro-cracks and hot-spot effects compared to older PERC technology, resulting in more stable energy yield over the system's lifetime. - **Efficiency up to 23.02% matches segment leaders** - Peak efficiency of 23.02% equals the best peer comparables - Phono Solar Draco and SunKean SKT440-460M12-96D4 (both 460 Wp, 23.02%) - and exceeds Axitec AXIbiperfect GR WB (22.54%), placing the series among the top-performing N-type modules currently on the market. - **Aesthetic glass-glass All Black construction** - A black backsheet, black frame, and black mesh on the rear glass eliminate the visible striping typical of standard bifacial modules, giving a clear aesthetic edge for installations on sloped residential roofs. - **30-year power output warranty** - A 30-year performance warranty exceeds the segment's typical 25-year standard, and combined with a low annual power degradation rate, it improves long-term energy yield predictability and lowers LCOE over the investment horizon. - **Experienced manufacturer with Italian quality oversight** - FuturaSun has been active in the market since 2008, and the Silk Nova Duetto All Black series (launched in 2023) is designed and quality-supervised by the company's Italian headquarters, adding credibility on manufacturing control compared to less-established brands among the peer comparables. ## Cons - **Product warranty at industry standard, not leading-edge** - The 15-year product warranty matches the current market standard for N-type modules, but some premium manufacturers in this technology segment are beginning to offer extended 20-25-year product warranties, making FuturaSun's terms competitive but not a standout differentiator. ## About this series The Silk Nova Duetto All Black series pairs a sleek all-black finish with advanced n-type cell technology, making it a strong fit wherever both performance and roof aesthetics matter. The module relies on **bifacial half-cut cells with MBB technology**, capturing additional energy reflected off the ground without requiring any changes to standard mounting practices used for monofacial panels. Its **glass-glass** construction with a black backsheet and **black frame paired with a black-grid rear glass** eliminates visible stripes and uneven patterns, delivering a uniform, elegant look that is especially valued on pitched residential roofs where appearance matters just as much as energy yield. The panel also stands out for its **long-term power stability** and very low annual power degradation, translating into consistently high output across its entire service life. Backed by a **long-term product and performance warranty** and quality oversight from the manufacturer's Italian headquarters, the Silk Nova Duetto All Black is built for investors seeking a predictable, low LCOE alongside a durable, visually refined solar installation. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 23.0% matches the \*\*N-type 450-500W\*\* median - At 230.2 W/m² power density, this panel generates 4.9 W/m² more per unit area than \*\*N-type 450-500W\*\* median (225.3 W/m²) - Temperature coefficient of -0.29%/°C matches the \*\*N-type 450-500W\*\* median - Weight of 25.5 kg is 1.8 kg above \*\*N-type 450-500W\*\* median (23.7 kg) - verify structural support - Ranked #1894 out of 14269 panels for efficiency in the database ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/FuturaSun_96_450-460W_Silk-Nova-Duetto-All-Black_EN-baa7887103dd.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [Jinko Solar JKM510T-48HL6M-DB](https://comparepv.com/panel/jinko-solar-jkm510t-48hl6m-db) | 510 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.5 pp | | [Jinko Solar JKM505T-48HL6M-DB](https://comparepv.com/panel/jinko-solar-jkm505t-48hl6m-db) | 505 W | +45 W, cooler, +2.2 pp | | [Jinko Solar JKM500T-48HL6M-DB](https://comparepv.com/panel/jinko-solar-jkm500t-48hl6m-db) | 500 W | +40 W, cooler, +2.0 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.0 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | +35 W, lighter, +1.8 pp | | [Jinko Solar JKM495T-48HL6M-DB](https://comparepv.com/panel/jinko-solar-jkm495t-48hl6m-db) | 495 W | +35 W, cooler, +1.8 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-505M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-505m) | 505 W | +45 W, cooler, +1.7 pp | | [WINAICO WST-505BKX54-A2](https://comparepv.com/panel/winaico-wst-505bkx54-a2) | 505 W | +45 W, cooler, +1.7 pp | | [Maxeon SPR-BE54-HD505](https://comparepv.com/panel/maxeon-spr-be54-hd505) | 505 W | +45 W, +1.7 pp, +10 yr warranty | | [FuturaSun FU 400 M Silk Nova Orange Duetto](https://comparepv.com/panel/futurasun-fu-400-m-silk-nova-orange-duetto) | 400 W | -60 W, -3.0 pp | | [FuturaSun FU 405 M Silk Nova Green Duetto](https://comparepv.com/panel/futurasun-fu-405-m) | 405 W | -55 W, -2.7 pp | | [FuturaSun FU 410 M Silk Nova Silver](https://comparepv.com/panel/futurasun-fu-410-m-silk-nova-silver) | 410 W | -50 W, -2.5 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [FuturaSun FU 440 M Silk Rhino All Black](https://comparepv.com/panel/futurasun-fu-440-m) | 440 W | -20 W, -1.0 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [FuturaSun FU445MV Silk Rhino](https://comparepv.com/panel/futurasun-fu445mv-silk-rhino) | 445 W | -15 W, -0.8 pp, -5 yr warranty | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/futurasun-fu-460-mv Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
