Light for its output, weak in heat
The DMEGC DMXXXM10T-72HSW/HBW photovoltaic panel series was designed for high energy output in the 72-cell format, popular in commercial installations and large rooftop/ground systems. The use of N-type TOPCon cells helps minimize typical power losses over time and improves energy yield under variable weather conditions, leading to a more predictable return on investment.
In practice, this series excels in real-world conditions: excellent performance at high temperatures supports stable generation during summer months, and mechanical durability facilitates design tailored to snow and wind requirements. The HSW and HBW construction variants allow selecting the module based on project priorities - from standard lightweight glass-film construction to long-lasting solutions.
This is the choice for companies, PV farms, and installers seeking to reduce LCOE without compromising on reliability and execution quality.

Signals from the data
Commercial, utility-scale and hot-climate.
Hot climates.
Top 23% of the TOPCon 550-600 W segment, against a median of 53.8.
Bottom 10% of the TOPCon 550-600 W segment, against a median of -0.290.
N-type TOPCon cells eliminate the LID/LeTID effects associated with older PERC technology. The manufacturer declares a degradation rate of ≤0.4%/year from year 2 onward and guarantees ≥87.4% of nominal power output after 30 years — on par with the best products in the segment.
The top-tier variant in the series reaches 22.65%, matching direct competitors such as the Hanersun Hitouch 5N HN18-72H (22.65%) and Q-SUN Qrystal N8 (22.65%). The series is fully competitive with its peers in terms of power density, which is critical when rooftop or ground-mount area is constrained.
The performance warranty spans 30 years with a guaranteed threshold of ≥87.4% at year 30. By comparison, the Risen RSM144-9-560-585BNDG offers only a 5-year product warranty — making DMEGC a more attractive choice for investors calculating LCOE over a 25–30 year horizon.
DMEGC Solar has maintained Tier 1 BloombergNEF status at least since Q3 2025, which directly facilitates securing non-recourse financing for utility-scale PV projects. The company has been in operation since 1980 and holds a manufacturing capacity exceeding 21 GW (BNEF Q2 2025 data).
The series combines the HSW variant (standard appearance, glass-backsheet, lower weight) with the HBW variant (full-black, glass-backsheet) within a single product line, enabling installers to match the module to a project's aesthetic requirements without changing supplier.
The Hanersun Hitouch 5N — covering the identical power range of 565–585 W at 22.65% efficiency — offers a 15-year product warranty. The shorter 12-year term may be a barrier in projects that require aligning the warranty period with the loan repayment schedule, typically 15 years for commercial installations.
Unlike direct peers — the Hanersun Hitouch 5N and Risen RSM144-9-560-585BNDG — the DMXXXM10T-72HSW/HBW series is strictly monofacial. In ground-mount installations on high-reflectivity surfaces (albedo ≥0.2), this forfeits potential rear-side energy yield estimated at 5–15% annually.
- At 22.6% efficiency, this panel is on par with typical TOPCon 550-600W modules
- Power density of 226.5 W/m² matches the TOPCon 550-600W median
- -0.31%/°C temperature coefficient - 0.02pp worse than TOPCon 550-600W median (-0.29%/°C), expect higher hot weather losses
- Weight of 28.7 kg (2.5 kg below TOPCon 550-600W median of 31.2 kg) allows easier transport and roof mounting
- In the top 25% for efficiency among all TOPCon panels
