Thanks to the **patented SOLRIF N frame**, the panels create a seamless, integrated roof surface - without additional support structures and without compromising aesthetics. The uniform, deep black of each element makes the installation an integral part of the building's architecture. The high performance is attributed to **N-type TOPCon bifacial solar cells**, which have an exceptionally low annual degradation rate - one of the lowest in their class. This translates to **30-year product and performance warranty**, maintaining 90% power at the end of the period. The **2+2 mm glass-to-glass construction** provides fire resistance class A, hail resistance class HW3 (30 mm), and resistance to extreme mechanical loads. SoliTek is the only photovoltaic panel manufacturer in the world with **Cradle to Cradle Gold certification** - the modules are almost entirely recyclable and are manufactured using only renewable energy. This is the ideal solution for demanding investors and architects who want to avoid compromising between aesthetics, durability, and environmental responsibility. ## 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 - At -0.30%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for \*\*TOPCon 450-500W\*\* panels - Weight of 27.0 kg is 3.0 kg above \*\*TOPCon 450-500W\*\* median (24.0 kg) - verify structural support - In the top 28% for efficiency among all TOPCon panels ## Questions ### Can SoliTek SOLRIF N Black panels fully replace a traditional roof covering? Yes, the SOLRIF N Black series is a certified BIPV (Building-Integrated Photovoltaics) system, meaning the panels serve as the actual roof covering rather than an overlay on an existing roof. The patented SOLRIF N frame interlocks modules into a watertight, integrated surface with no additional mounting substructure required. This eliminates the cost of a conventional roof covering and shortens installation time, making it a preferred choice among premium architects and investors. ### What does the SoliTek SOLRIF N Black warranty cover and for how long? SoliTek provides a 30-year product warranty covering material and manufacturing defects, plus a 30-year power output warranty guaranteeing at least 90% of rated power at end of period. Annual degradation is approximately 0.31%, one of the lowest rates among N-type TOPCon modules. The manufacturer operates its own factory in Lithuania, providing a credible long-term warranty backing rather than relying on third-party OEM production. ### How does N-type TOPCon bifacial technology in the SOLRIF N Black differ from standard PERC panels? N-type TOPCon cells deliver higher initial efficiency and significantly lower annual degradation than conventional p-type PERC cells. The bifacial design allows the rear side of the module to generate additional power from reflected irradiance off the roof surface or surroundings, typically adding a few percentage points to overall yield. Combined with the glass-glass 2+2 mm construction, the result is more energy harvested from the same roof area over the full 30-year system life. ### Are SoliTek SOLRIF N Black panels resistant to hail and high wind loads? Yes. The dual-glass 2+2 mm construction provides hail resistance rated at HW3, corresponding to ice balls up to 30 mm in diameter. The modules withstand extreme mechanical loads up to 8100 Pa, covering heavy snow accumulation and strong wind events. The all-glass design also earns Fire Class A certification - the highest available - which is particularly critical for BIPV roofing applications where the module is part of the building envelope. ### What does SoliTek's Cradle to Cradle Gold certification mean for buyers of the SOLRIF N Black? SoliTek is the only solar panel manufacturer in the world holding a Cradle to Cradle Gold certificate. This means SOLRIF N Black modules are nearly fully recyclable and manufactured exclusively using renewable energy throughout the supply chain. For investors and businesses with ESG commitments, this provides a measurable advantage when reporting the carbon footprint of a PV installation. The certification covers the full product lifecycle, from raw material sourcing through end-of-life disposal. ### What is the peak power output of the SOLRIF N Black and what type of installation is it designed for? The SOLRIF N Black module achieves a peak output of 455 Wp using 96 N-type TOPCon bifacial cells. The series targets residential and commercial projects where the roof also serves as an architectural element. The uniform deep-black appearance - frame, backsheet glass, and cells - allows the installation to blend seamlessly into modern building designs that demand aesthetics without compromise in performance or durability. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/Solrif-N-Black-B96-455W-EN-ffcc816070d5.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 | +50 W, cooler, +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 | +45 W, cooler, +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, heavier, -7.7 pp | | [Solitek SOLRIF D Terracota Bronze 370](https://comparepv.com/panel/ginlong-solis-solrif-d-terracota-bronze-370) | 370 W | -85 W, heavier, -4.2 pp | | [Solitek Solrif D Satin 445](https://comparepv.com/panel/ginlong-solis-solrif-d-satin-445) | 445 W | -10 W, heavier, -0.5 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | +55 W, cooler, +2.4 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/ginlong-solis-solrif-n-black-455 Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
