This translates to higher energy yield from the same roof or ground area without paying a premium-tier brand surcharge. - **N-Type TOPCon: Low LID and LeTID Degradation** - N-type TOPCon cells exhibit degradation of ≤1% in year one and ≤0.4%/year thereafter (vs. standard PERC: ~2% LID in year 1 and ~0.55%/year), resulting in higher cumulative energy yield over the full system lifetime. A linear 25-year power warranty protects the installation's energy performance. - **Kiwa PVEL Top Performer 2025** - Hanersun Energy achieved Top Performer status in the 11th edition of the Kiwa PVEL PV Module Reliability Scorecard (2025) — an independent verification of resistance to environmental degradation (TC, DH, PID, LID+LeTID testing), distinguishing the manufacturer from the majority of second-tier Chinese suppliers. - **Mechanical Load Rating of 5,400 / 2,400 Pa** - Certified static load resistance of 5,400 Pa (front-side, e.g. snow) and 2,400 Pa (rear-side, wind uplift) enables installation in higher climatic load zones without increasing racking density, reducing overall system CAPEX. - **Half-Cut + MBB: Shade Tolerance** - Half-cut cell technology combined with multi-busbar (MBB) architecture reduces resistive losses and minimizes the impact of partial shading on overall energy yield — a significant advantage for rooftop installations with chimneys, dormers, or proximity to tree lines. ## Cons - **No BNEF Tier 1 Status (Currently)** - Hanersun does not appear on the current BNEF Tier 1 bankable manufacturers list (context data: tier\_1\_bankable: false, verified 2025–2026). Despite a historical listing in Q2 2023 for the 600W+ series, the absence of current Tier 1 status may complicate project financing for commercial and industrial applications where lenders require bankable modules as a condition of credit approval. - **12-Year Product Warranty – Below Segment Standard** - The 12-year product warranty is shorter than that offered by leading manufacturers in a comparable price and power class (Risen Energy: 15 years, LONGi Hi-MO 6: 15 years). For commercial and industrial installations with a 20+ year horizon, this represents an element of operational risk in the event of product defects beyond year 12. ## About this series The Hanersun Hitouch 5N HN18-72H (565-585W) series is designed to maximize energy production in real-world operating conditions. The modules utilize **N-type TOPCon cells**, which perform better over time and operate more stably at higher temperatures, resulting in more predictable energy production over the years. The use of **half-cut and MBB (Multi-Busbar) designs** reduces resistive losses, reduces susceptibility to microcracks, and improves performance under partial shading - which is important on roofs with skylights, chimneys, or installations near trees. Another noteworthy feature is **dense lamination and precise connection design**, which supports durability and efficiency even in less sunny conditions. In practice, this series helps to reduce the cost of energy from your own installation without the need to increase the building footprint. The Hitouch 5N HN18-72H is a good choice for commercial and industrial installations, as well as larger ground-mounted systems, where **high power density**, reliability, and resistance to typical operating losses are important. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 22.1% matches the \*\*TOPCon 550-600W\*\* median - Power density of 220.7 W/m² is 3.8 W/m² below \*\*TOPCon 550-600W\*\* median (224.4 W/m²) - needs more roof space - At -0.31%/°C, loses 0.02pp more power per degree than \*\*TOPCon 550-600W\*\* median (-0.29%/°C) - Weight of 28.5 kg (2.7 kg below \*\*TOPCon 550-600W\*\* median of 31.2 kg) allows easier transport and roof mounting - Ranked #6136 out of 14005 panels for efficiency in the database ## Questions ### What is TOPCon technology in the Hanersun Hitouch 5N HN18-72H panels, and is it worth the premium? TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) cells are N-type cells with a lower temperature coefficient and slower degradation than older PERC cells. In practice, this means higher annual energy yields and more predictable output throughout the full 25-year power warranty period. For commercial installations, the difference in lifetime energy production is measurable and typically justifies the higher module cost. ### What warranties does the Hanersun Hitouch 5N HN18-72H come with? Hanersun provides a 12-year product warranty covering material and workmanship defects, plus a 25-year linear power output warranty. Annual power degradation from year 2 onward is no more than 0.4%, which outperforms the typical 0.55% of standard PERC modules. This means the panel should retain over 88% of its nominal power after 25 years of operation. ### Can the Hanersun Hitouch 5N HN18-72H panels handle partial shading from a chimney or dormer? Yes. The half-cut cell design splits each module into independent electrical segments, so shading on one section has a significantly smaller impact on total system output. The MBB (multi-busbar) layout further reduces resistive losses and lowers the risk of microcracks. This series will therefore outperform older full-cell modules on roofs with chimneys, dormers, or nearby trees. ### Are the Hitouch 5N HN18-72H panels bifacial? No, the HN18-72H series is monofacial — it captures solar energy from the front side only. This simplifies installation and ensures full compatibility with standard rooftop mounting systems where reflected albedo light would not be captured anyway. If bifacial performance is a priority, Hanersun offers a separate variant, the HN18N-72HT, with dual-sided energy collection. ### What type of installation are the Hanersun Hitouch 5N HN18-72H 585W panels best suited for? The series targets commercial, industrial, and large-scale ground-mounted systems where high power density is critical. At 585W per module, fewer panels are required to reach a given system capacity, which reduces BoS costs including cabling, mounting hardware, and labor. For residential rooftop installations, smaller and lighter module formats are generally a better fit. ### Is Hanersun a reputable manufacturer, and what certifications do the HN18-72H modules carry? Hanersun is a Chinese PV manufacturer that is not currently listed on the Bloomberg NEF Tier 1 panel. The Hitouch 5N modules carry IEC 61215 and IEC 61730 certifications, and the datasheet confirms a static load rating of 5,400 Pa front and 2,400 Pa rear, meeting requirements for high snow and wind load zones. Verify the current certification status with your local distributor before purchasing. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/HN18-72H-565-585-EN-5f63091a89a5.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-560M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-560m) | 560 W | Cooler, +2.7 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-555M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-555m) | 555 W | Cooler, +2.5 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVHL-550M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvhl-550m) | 550 W | Lighter, +2.3 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [JA Solar JAT60S40-540/LR](https://comparepv.com/panel/ja-solar-jat60s40-540-lr) | 540 W | Lighter, +2.3 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gokin GK-5-60HG-540M](https://comparepv.com/panel/gokin-gk-5-60hg-540m) | 540 W | Lighter, +2.3 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Jinko Solar JKM545-54QL6-DV-F1-EU](https://comparepv.com/panel/jinko-solar-jkm545-54ql6-dv-f1-eu) | 545 W | Cooler, +2.2 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-545M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-545m) | 545 W | Cooler, +2.1 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Hanersun HN18-72H535W](https://comparepv.com/panel/hanersun-hn18-72h535w) | 535 W | -35 W, hotter, -1.4 pp | | [Hanersun HN18-72H540W](https://comparepv.com/panel/hanersun-hn18-72h540w) | 540 W | -30 W, hotter, -1.2 pp | | [Hanersun HN18-72H545W](https://comparepv.com/panel/hanersun-hn18-72h545w) | 545 W | -25 W, hotter, -1.0 pp | | [Hanersun HN18-72H550W](https://comparepv.com/panel/hanersun-hn18-72h550w) | 550 W | -20 W, hotter, -0.8 pp | | [Hanersun HN18-72H555W](https://comparepv.com/panel/hanersun-hn18-72h555w) | 555 W | -15 W, hotter, -0.6 pp | | [Hanersun HN18-72H560W](https://comparepv.com/panel/hanersun-hn18-72h560w) | 560 W | -10 W, hotter, -0.4 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A650-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a650-mae72mw) | 650 W | +80 W, +3.1 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [AIKO AIKO-A645-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a645-mae72mw) | 645 W | +75 W, +2.9 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [AIKO AIKO-A640-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a640-mae72mw) | 640 W | +70 W, +2.7 pp, +5 yr warranty | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/hanersun-hn18-72h570w Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
