By using double-sided **N-type TOPCon** cells, the panels generate power from both sides of the surface - both from the front and from the back - significantly increasing annual energy yield even in diffuse light conditions. The double layer of tempered glass guarantees exceptional mechanical strength: the structure withstands extreme loads from snow and wind and meets the requirements of hail class 4 and Fire Class A. The **black anodized aluminum frame** simplifies installation and gives the modules an elegant, modern visual appearance, while the prestigious **DIBt** certification officially allows their use in locations with stringent safety requirements - carports, shaded terraces, agricultural greenhouses, and overhead canopies. The SOLID Semi-Clear Framed series is primarily aimed at **agrivoltaic** installations, developers implementing bioclimatic projects, and investors seeking a panel that simultaneously produces energy and serves as a functional glazing that allows natural light to pass through. European production and a 50-year lifespan guarantee are further arguments for the durability of this investment. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 22.8% matches the \*\*TOPCon 450-500W\*\* median - 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 - Ranked #3073 out of 14005 panels for efficiency in the database ## Questions ### Are SoliTek SOLID Semi-Clear Framed panels suitable for overhead installations such as carports or covered terraces? Yes, the SOLID Semi-Clear Framed series holds a DIBt certificate, which officially approves these modules for use as overhead glazing in applications such as carports, shaded terraces, pergolas, and canopies. The glass-glass construction with two 3.2 mm tempered glass panes delivers exceptional mechanical strength, meeting hail resistance class 4 and Fire Class A, making it one of the safest overhead PV solutions available. ### What warranty does the SoliTek SOLID Semi-Clear Framed panel come with? SoliTek provides a 30-year product warranty and a 30-year power output warranty for this series. The declared module lifespan is 50 years, which significantly exceeds the coverage period and reduces long-term risk for large agrivoltaic or architectural installations where panel replacement would be costly and disruptive. ### Does the bifacial TOPCon technology in the SOLID Semi-Clear Framed series actually improve energy yield? Yes. The N-type TOPCon bifacial cells harvest energy from both the front and rear surfaces — reflected or diffuse light hitting the back of the module is fully utilized. According to manufacturer data, the bifacial gain can boost annual energy yield by up to 35% compared to a standard monofacial panel, especially over light-colored surfaces such as concrete or gravel and in ground-mounted or elevated installations. ### What agrivoltaic applications are the SoliTek SOLID Semi-Clear Framed 455W modules best suited for? The SOLID Semi-Clear Framed series is purpose-built for agrivoltaics: the semi-transparent design transmits natural light beneath the structure, creating a favorable microclimate for crops. Modules perform well over greenhouses, PV-roofed polytunnels, and shade-tolerant cultivation areas. European manufacturing and DIBt certification also simplify the permitting process for such projects. ### What is the difference between the SoliTek SOLID Semi-Clear Framed and the Frameless variant? The Framed variant features a black anodized aluminum frame that enables straightforward installation on standard rooftop and ground-mount racking systems without special frameless clamps. The Frameless version is preferred for purely architectural and facade applications where minimal visible profiles are important. Cell technology, warranties, and DIBt certifications are identical across both variants. ### How do SoliTek SOLID Semi-Clear Framed 455W panels perform during cold Polish winters? N-type TOPCon cells have a low power temperature coefficient of −0.30%/°C, meaning less output loss in cold conditions compared to older PERC technology. The glass-glass construction handles extreme snow loads and meets hail resistance class 4, so heavy snowfall and icing pose no structural risk. On a cold, sunny winter day the panel can actually exceed its STC-rated output thanks to the favorable low-temperature effect. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/SOLID-Semi-clear-framed-B96-455W-40mm-2e1db96c35b5.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-semi-clear-framed-455-w Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
