The HNM7-UHLDD144 series comprises advanced solar modules built on N-Type TOPCon cells, engineered for commercial and utility-scale installations where every percentage point of energy yield matters. The applied half-cell technology with a 16-busbar layout reduces resistive losses and improves current collection, resulting in more stable panel performance even under partial shading. The double-glass, bifacial construction captures light reflected from the ground, boosting total energy production without requiring additional installation area - a solution particularly valuable for industrial rooftops and utility-scale solar farms. Thanks to its N-Type architecture, the modules feature a lower long-term degradation rate compared to traditional P-Type panels, translating into longer service life and a more predictable return on investment. The dual glass layer further enhances mechanical resistance and structural durability under demanding weather conditions. The HNM7-UHLDD144 series meets the needs of investors and system integrators seeking proven technology that meaningfully lowers LCOE and minimizes operating costs over the entire lifetime of an installation.

What owners get
N-Type TOPCon cells with 16 busbars

N-Type TOPCon technology combined with half-cut cells and a 16-busbar layout reduces resistive losses and LID degradation, delivering higher efficiency (up to 22.65%) and more stable output under partial shading than legacy P-Type PERC modules.

Efficiency matches segment leaders

Peak efficiency of 22.65% matches the best comparable N-Type series on the market (Hanersun Hitouch 5N - 22.65%, Q-SUN Qrystal N8 - 22.65%) and exceeds Risen RSM144-9 (22.6%), placing the HNM7-UHLDD144 at the top of its 565-585 Wp power class.

Bifacial dual-glass construction

Dual-glass bifacial laminate captures light reflected off the ground, boosting energy yield without increasing installation footprint, while also improving mechanical resistance to hail and snow loads.

30-year linear power warranty

The 30-year power warranty aligns with the current premium standard for bifacial N-Type TOPCon modules and matches offerings from leading manufacturers, supporting predictable long-term investment returns.

Established manufacturer with global scale

Hounen Solar has operated since 2010 and, per manufacturer data, has shipped over 320 GW of modules globally, with US-based assembly expanding since 2022 to improve service support and logistics for large commercial projects.

Trade-offs
12-year product warranty below premium segment

The product warranty is limited to 12 years, shorter than the 15-25 years now offered by many N-Type TOPCon manufacturers in this power class as of 2025-2026, which may reduce competitiveness on total cost of ownership for large-scale projects.

No confirmed BNEF Tier 1 status

Publicly available BloombergNEF Tier 1 listings (Q1 2026) do not clearly confirm Hounen Solar's inclusion, unlike competitor Hanersun, which officially communicates Tier 1 status for its 600W+ technology - a potentially significant factor for investors requiring bankable financing.

Common questions

6 answered
How much power does one HNM7-UHLDD144 series panel generate?
HNM7-UHLDD144 series modules reach up to 585 Wp maximum power. That's a high output for a panel aimed at commercial and utility-scale installations, thanks to N-type TOPCon cells and half-cell technology with 16 busbars, which reduce resistive losses and improve module efficiency.
What's the difference between N-type TOPCon technology and standard P-type panels?
N-type TOPCon cells have a lower degradation rate over time and higher initial efficiency than traditional P-type cells. In practice, this means HNM7-UHLDD144 panels lose less power over the years of operation, resulting in higher lifetime energy yield and a better return on investment.
Are HNM7-UHLDD144 panels bifacial, and is it worth it?
Yes, the series uses a dual-glass bifacial design that generates additional energy from the rear side of the module using light reflected off the ground. This is especially valuable on industrial roofs with light-colored coverings and in ground-mounted PV farms, where output can increase without expanding the installation footprint.
What warranty comes with HNM7-UHLDD144 panels?
Manufacturer Hounen Solar provides a 12-year product warranty and a 30-year power output warranty. This warranty length is typical for high-end N-type modules and reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the durability of TOPCon technology and the dual-glass construction.
Are HNM7-UHLDD144 panels suitable for industrial roofs and utility-scale PV farms?
Yes, the series is designed for commercial and utility-scale installations. High unit power up to 585 Wp, half-cell technology that limits losses from partial shading, and bifacial design make these modules well-suited for both large flat roofs and ground-mounted solar farms.
Who manufactures HNM7-UHLDD144 panels and where is the manufacturer based?
The HNM7-UHLDD144 series is manufactured by Hounen Solar, a company based in China. The manufacturer specializes in PV modules using advanced N-type TOPCon technology and bifacial designs, primarily targeting the commercial and industrial segment.
