Unlike standard roof-mounted installations, the modules in this series create a watertight, weatherproof covering - thanks to a patented, integrated aluminum profile that does not require additional sealing elements. **Double-strength, 3.2+3.2 mm tempered glass** provides exceptional mechanical strength, including resistance to hail of Class 5 (grains up to 50 mm) and extreme resistance to snow and wind loads. The series has **Class A fire resistance**, which is particularly important in roof installations near building structures. **Bifacial technology** allows for energy generation from both sides of the module, increasing the overall energy yield of the installation. The fully black aesthetic, without visible electrical components, perfectly complements modern, minimalist architecture. The panels are manufactured in Europe using 100% renewable energy, which meets the growing expectations of investors who are concerned about their carbon footprint. The series is designed for both new buildings and roof renovations, where durability and appearance are key. **The product warranty is 30 years**, and the projected lifespan is 50 years. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 22.6% matches the \*\*TOPCon 450-500W\*\* median - Power density of 217.2 W/m² is 8.0 W/m² below \*\*TOPCon 450-500W\*\* median (225.2 W/m²) - needs more roof space - Temperature coefficient of -0.30%/°C matches the \*\*TOPCon 450-500W\*\* median - At 35.0 kg (11.0 kg above \*\*TOPCon 450-500W\*\* median of 24.0 kg), requires checking roof load capacity - #3899 for efficiency, #6093 for temperature performance out of 14005 panels ## Questions ### Does the SOLRIF D series Black actually replace roof tiles, and does the roof stay watertight? Yes — the SOLRIF D Black series is a BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics) system that fully replaces traditional roof tiles or slate. Modules connect via a patented interlocking aluminum profile, forming a watertight roof covering without additional sealing elements. The roof simultaneously functions as a photovoltaic installation and a fully weatherproof structure. ### What cell technology does the SOLRIF D Black series use, and why does it matter? The SOLRIF D Black series uses bifacial TOPCon N-type cells. TOPCon technology delivers higher efficiency than standard PERC and a better temperature coefficient (approx. -0.30%/°C), meaning lower power losses on hot days. The bifacial design harvests energy from both sides of the module — including light reflected off the roof surface — boosting the system's annual energy yield. ### What warranty does the Solitek SOLRIF D series Black come with? Solitek provides a 30-year product warranty and a 30-year power output warranty. The projected operational lifespan is 50 years. This is one of the longest warranties available in the PV market — particularly significant for BIPV roof installations, where replacing a module also involves roofing work and higher service costs. ### What is the fire resistance rating of the SOLRIF D Black, and does it affect building insurance? The SOLRIF D Black series holds the highest fire resistance Class A rating. This is a critical parameter for BIPV installations where modules are integral to the roof and sit directly adjacent to the building structure. Class A may be required by insurers or local building codes. The dual 3.2+3.2 mm tempered glass also provides hail resistance Class 5, certified for hailstones up to 50 mm in diameter. ### Are SOLRIF D Black panels suitable for roof renovation, or only for new construction? The SOLRIF D Black series is designed for both new buildings and roof renovations. Because the modules fully replace the traditional roof covering, the project combines roof replacement with PV installation in a single investment. It is advisable to verify that the existing roof structure can support the weight of dual tempered glass — a structural engineer consultation is recommended. ### What is the maximum power output per SOLRIF D Black module, and where are the panels manufactured? The maximum power output of a single SOLRIF D Black module is 455 Wp. The panels are manufactured in Europe by Lithuanian company Solitek, using 100% renewable energy. This is a compelling argument for investors focused on carbon footprint and a shorter supply chain compared to panels imported from Asia. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/Solrif-D-Black-B96-455W-EN-datasheet-1ad61bc3c2e2.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | +40 W, lighter, +2.2 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-505M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-505m) | 505 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.1 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A490-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a490-mce54mw) | 490 W | Cooler, lighter, +1.9 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-500m) | 500 W | Cooler, lighter, +1.9 pp | | [Talesun CIPRO-TN9C54M-500W](https://comparepv.com/panel/talesun-cipro-tn9c54m-500w) | 500 W | +45 W, lighter, +1.9 pp | | [Gokin GK-3-54HGb-500M](https://comparepv.com/panel/gokin-gk-3-54hgb-500m) | 500 W | +45 W, lighter, +1.9 pp | | [Solitek SOLRIF D Agro 300](https://comparepv.com/panel/ginlong-solis-solrif-d-agro-300) | 300 W | -155 W, -7.7 pp | | [Solitek SOLRIF D Terracota Bronze 370](https://comparepv.com/panel/ginlong-solis-solrif-d-terracota-bronze-370) | 370 W | -85 W, -4.2 pp | | [Solitek Solrif D Satin 445](https://comparepv.com/panel/ginlong-solis-solrif-d-satin-445) | 445 W | -10 W, -0.5 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.4 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/ginlong-solis-solrif-d-black-455 Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
