Utilizing **N-type TOPCon technology in a double-glass construction**, these modules generate energy from both the front and back sides - which is particularly advantageous on roofs with light-colored surfaces or in ground-mounted installations. The black frame and fully black surface allow the panels to seamlessly integrate into the building's architecture, without disrupting its appearance. This series is characterized by an exceptionally low annual degradation rate, which translates to maintaining high energy production throughout the lifespan of the installation - confirmed by a **30-year manufacturer's warranty with guaranteed performance after that period**. The robust construction of the modules ensures resistance to extreme loads from snow and wind, and the DIBt certification opens up the possibility of using the panels as **above-ground and facade glazing**. This is the ideal solution for installations on pitched roofs, modern single-family homes, and BIPV projects, where both durability and aesthetics are important. The panels are manufactured in Europe according to sustainable development principles. ## Notable figures - At 22.8% efficiency, this panel is on par with typical \*\*TOPCon 450-500W\*\* modules - At 227.7 W/m² power density, roof space requirements are typical for \*\*TOPCon 450-500W\*\* panels - At -0.30%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for \*\*TOPCon 450-500W\*\* panels - At 36.0 kg, this panel is 12.0 kg heavier than the \*\*TOPCon 450-500W\*\* median (24.0 kg) - more demanding for installation crews - #3073 for efficiency, #6093 for temperature performance out of 14005 panels ## Questions ### What is the warranty on the SoliTek SOLID Black Framed panels and what does it cover? The SoliTek SOLID Black Framed series comes with a 30-year product warranty and a 30-year power output warranty. The manufacturer guarantees that after 30 years the module will retain at least 90% of its rated output. This is among the longest warranties available on the market and translates into predictable ROI throughout the entire service life of the installation. ### What is N-type TOPCon technology and why is it worth choosing in the SOLID Black Framed series? TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) is an N-type silicon cell technology that delivers higher conversion efficiency and a lower annual degradation rate than conventional PERC cells. In practice, a SoliTek SOLID Black Framed panel produces more energy over its entire service life and loses power more slowly over the years — a key advantage given the 30-year investment horizon. ### Are the SoliTek SOLID Black Framed panels bifacial, and how does that affect energy yield? Yes, the SOLID Black Framed series uses bifacial N-type TOPCon cells in a glass-glass construction, generating energy from both the front and rear sides. The bifacial effect can increase total energy production by up to 35% compared to monofacial panels, especially on rooftops with light-colored substrates or ground-mount systems with reflective surfaces. ### Can SoliTek SOLID Black Framed panels with a DIBt certificate be used as overhead glazing or building facades? Yes. The DIBt (Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik) certificate confirms that SOLID Black Framed modules meet strict safety requirements for overhead glazing and facade applications. This makes the series suitable for BIPV projects such as solar carports, canopies, and curtain-wall integration, wherever a formal construction approval is required. ### Are the SoliTek SOLID Black Framed panels a good fit for a sloped residential rooftop? Yes, the SOLID Black Framed series is specifically designed for sloped-roof installations on modern single-family homes. The all-black frame and full-black surface blend discreetly with the roofing material. The robust glass-glass construction provides high resistance to snow and wind loads — critical for Central European climates. With up to 455 Wp per module, even a limited roof area can deliver a high total system output. ### Are SoliTek SOLID Black Framed panels manufactured in Europe? Yes, the SOLID Black Framed series is produced by SoliTek in Lithuania, in line with European quality standards and sustainable manufacturing practices. European production means a shorter supply chain, a lower carbon footprint, and full transparency regarding manufacturing conditions — an important advantage for investors who prioritize verified European-made products. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/SOLID-Black-framed-B96-455W-EN-40mm-b433b5b21e9a.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | +40 W, 15 kg lighter, +2.0 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-505M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-505m) | 505 W | Cooler, lighter, +1.9 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A490-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a490-mce54mw) | 490 W | Cooler, 15 kg lighter, +1.7 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-500m) | 500 W | Cooler, lighter, +1.7 pp | | [Talesun CIPRO-TN9C54M-500W](https://comparepv.com/panel/talesun-cipro-tn9c54m-500w) | 500 W | +45 W, lighter, +1.7 pp | | [Gokin GK-3-54HGb-500M](https://comparepv.com/panel/gokin-gk-3-54hgb-500m) | 500 W | +45 W, lighter, +1.7 pp | | [Solitek SOLID Agro Framed 300](https://comparepv.com/panel/ginlong-solis-solid-agro-framed-300) | 300 W | -155 W, lighter, -7.8 pp | | [Solitek SOLID Agro Frameless 300](https://comparepv.com/panel/ginlong-solis-solid-agro-frameless-300) | 300 W | -155 W, lighter, -7.9 pp | | [Solitek SOLID Satin 445W](https://comparepv.com/panel/ginlong-solis-solid-satin-445w) | 445 W | -10 W, lighter, -0.7 pp | | [Solitek Blackstar Satin 445](https://comparepv.com/panel/ginlong-solis-blackstar-satin-445) | 445 W | -10 W, lighter, -0.5 pp | | [Solitek SOLID Black Frameless 455](https://comparepv.com/panel/ginlong-solis-solid-black-frameless-455) | 455 W | Lighter | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.2 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/ginlong-solis-solid-black-framed-455 Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
