Ranked 3,989th in the whole database. - **22.53% module efficiency** - Bottom 11% of the TOPCon 700-750 W segment, against a median of 23.00%. - **Best for:** Commercial, utility-scale and residential. - **Not ideal for:** Weight-limited structures, roofs where every square metre has to count and tight roof space. ## Specification ### Electrical - **Rated power (Pmax):** 700 W - **Efficiency:** 22.53 % - **Voltage at Pmax (Vmp):** 40.45 V - **Current at Pmax (Imp):** 17.31 A - **Open-circuit voltage (Voc):** 48.04 V - **Short-circuit current (Isc):** 18.42 A - **Max system voltage:** 1500 V ### Temperature - **Temperature coefficient of Pmax:** -0.300 %/degC - **Temperature coefficient of Voc:** -0.250 %/degC - **Temperature coefficient of Isc:** 0.040 %/degC - **NOCT:** 44 degC ### Cell and construction - **Cell type:** Monocrystalline - **Cell technology:** TOPCon - **Cell count:** 132 - **Bifacial:** yes ### Physical - **Length:** 2384 mm - **Width:** 1303 mm - **Thickness:** 35 mm - **Weight:** 38.3 kg - **Area:** 3.11 m2 - **Power density:** 225.3 Wp/m2 ### Warranty and degradation - **Product warranty:** 12 years - **Performance warranty:** 30 years - **Output guaranteed at end of warranty:** 87.4 % - **First-year degradation:** 1.00 % - **Annual degradation:** 0.40 % - **Output after 30 years:** 612 W ## Rank in the whole catalogue | Measure | Position | | --- | --- | | Efficiency | 3982 of 14005 | | Power density | 3989 of 14005 | | Temperature coefficient | 6093 of 14005 | | Weight | 9103 of 14005 | | Warranty | 21 of 14005 | ## Pros - **N-type TOPCon with low degradation** - N-type TOPCon cells show first-year degradation ≤1% and annual degradation ≤0.4%, versus ≤0.45–0.55% typical for PERC modules. After 30 years the manufacturer guarantees retention above 87% of rated power — for a 715 W module that equates to a real output above 623 W at end of warranty period. - **Up to 23.14% efficiency — competitive in segment** - The top-of-range module efficiency of 23.14% exceeds direct peer comparables: DAS Solar DAS-DH132NC (23.00%) and New East Solar NESE 66THB-G12 (23.02%). The lower-bound efficiency of 22.21% (605 W variants) remains well above the 21.5% threshold commonly used to classify semi-commercial 66-cell format modules. - **Bifacial — rear-side energy gain** - The bifacial construction with a typical bifacial factor of 70–80% enables 10–20% additional energy yield on reflective surfaces (gravel, concrete, snow) and in façade-mounted systems. In Polish climate conditions, where snow cover is significant in winter months, this rear-side gain is measurable even at lower irradiance angles. - **30-year linear power warranty** - The 30-year linear power warranty extends beyond the Tier-1 standard (JA Solar, Trina Solar typically offer 25 years down to ~84.8% of Pnom). A longer warranty horizon reduces financial risk in installations with long payback periods, which is particularly relevant for commercial projects evaluated on LCOE. - **11 power variants (605–715 W)** - A broad lineup of 11 variants from 605 to 715 W (in ~10 W steps) allows precise MPPT string sizing and optimal fit to roof or ground geometries, minimizing mismatch loss. This flexibility is especially valuable in prosumer installations with non-standard available surface areas. ## Cons - **Not on BNEF Tier-1 list — limited bankability** - Huayao does not appear on the BNEF Tier-1 module manufacturer list (Q1 2026). In practice this creates barriers to bank financing for installations >200 kWp, higher collateral requirements in PPA agreements, and exclusion from qualified supplier lists used by many infrastructure funds. Direct peer comparable DAS Solar holds Tier-1 BNEF status, which is a concrete advantage in externally financed projects. - **Product warranty floor at 12 years (some variants)** - The lowest-power variants in the series carry only a 12-year product warranty, while the European market standard for TOPCon modules is 15 years (applied by JinkoSolar Tiger Neo, LONGi Hi-MO 6, among others). For installations planned over a 25–30-year lifespan, a shorter product warranty period increases the risk of bearing replacement costs outside the manufacturer's coverage window. ## About this series The Huayao Hyper N66 series was designed for maximum energy yield where every square meter of roof or ground matters. The application of cutting-edge N-type cells and refined interconnect architecture translates to **more stable performance over time** - reduced losses in the initial years and better predictability of yields over the long term. These modules are also an excellent choice for installations operating under real-world Polish conditions: frequent changes in sunlight, periodic shading, and lower temperatures, where **good performance under low-light conditions** is crucial. The Hyper N66 stands out with its **high manufacturing and packaging quality**, helping to minimize the risk of micro-cracks and power drops after installation and during transport. This solution is for investors seeking **reliable performance** - from residential installations to commercial systems on roof-mounted racks, warehouse canopies, and PV farms. Compared to many PERC panels, the series offers **a more future-oriented N-type technology** and better resistance to typical degradation mechanisms. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 22.5% matches the \*\*TOPCon 700-750W\*\* median - At 225.3 W/m², this panel generates 4.9 W/m² less per unit area than \*\*TOPCon 700-750W\*\* median (230.2 W/m²) - At -0.30%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for \*\*TOPCon 700-750W\*\* panels - Ranked #3982 out of 14005 panels for efficiency in the database ## Questions ### What is the warranty on Huayao Hyper N66 panels and what does it cover? The Hyper N66 series comes with a 15-year product warranty covering manufacturing defects and mechanical failures, plus a 30-year linear power output warranty. Over three decades, the manufacturer guarantees that the module will maintain a specified minimum power level. A 30-year power warranty is a hallmark of N-type cell technology and reflects a low degradation rate, enabling more reliable long-term energy yield forecasting throughout the system's lifetime. ### Do Huayao Hyper N66 panels perform well in Polish climate conditions and under low irradiance? Yes, the Hyper N66 series is well suited to Polish weather conditions. TOPCon N-type cells deliver better performance under low irradiance compared to PERC cells, which matters significantly on overcast days and during early spring or autumn. The modules also handle variable irradiation and lower ambient temperatures effectively, reducing power losses tied to the temperature coefficient of power — an important factor in central European climates. ### What is TOPCon technology and why is it superior to PERC in solar panels? TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) is an advanced N-type cell architecture in which a thin tunnel oxide layer minimizes carrier recombination at the cell surface. In practice, this means higher conversion efficiency, a lower annual degradation rate (typically below 0.4% per year versus around 0.55% for PERC), and better resistance to LID and PID. The Hyper N66 series leverages this technology, making it a more future-proof option than most PERC modules available at a comparable price point. ### Is the Huayao Hyper N66 a bifacial module, and how much extra energy can bifaciality generate? Yes, the Hyper N66 is a bifacial module. Its rear side captures albedo — solar radiation reflected from the ground or mounting surface — typically boosting total energy yield by 5–20%, depending on the surface reflectivity and tilt angle. The greatest gains occur in ground-mounted systems over light-colored surfaces such as concrete, sand, or snow, or on rooftops with white membranes. On dark roofing materials the bifacial gain is smaller but still measurable. ### What types of installations is the Huayao Hyper N66 series (up to 715 Wp) suitable for? The Hyper N66 modules at up to 715 Wp are primarily designed for commercial and industrial applications: rooftop systems on manufacturing halls and logistics warehouses, as well as ground-mounted utility-scale PV farms, where high per-module wattage reduces installation time and lowers BoS (balance of system) costs. Large module dimensions do not rule out prosumer use on spacious roof surfaces where the number of available mounting points is not a limiting factor. ### Is Huayao a Tier 1 manufacturer, and should I be concerned about the quality of Hyper N66 panels? Huayao is not classified as a Tier 1 manufacturer according to current industry rankings such as Bloomberg NEF, reflecting a smaller production scale and shorter market track record compared to segment leaders. This does not directly imply lower cell quality. The Hyper N66 series is noted for careful workmanship and packaging standards that reduce the risk of microcracks during transport and installation. It is advisable, however, to verify local warranty service conditions with the distributor before purchasing. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/17-hy715-n132cdd-c4f7c9526627.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [AIKO AIKO-A650-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a650-mae72mw) | 650 W | -50 W, lighter, +2.7 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A680-MDE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a680-mde72mw) | 680 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.7 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A675-MDE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a675-mde72mw) | 675 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.5 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A700-MAE78Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a700-mae78dw) | 700 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.5 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A695-MAE78Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a695-mae78dw) | 695 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.4 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-G670-MCH72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-g670-mch72mw) | 670 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.3 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-72HVHF-670M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-72hvhf-670m) | 670 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.3 pp | | [Jinko Solar JKM650-670N-66QL6-BDV (670W class)](https://comparepv.com/panel/jinko-solar-jkm650-670n-66ql6-bdv-670w-class) | 670 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.3 pp | | [Huayao HY650-M132CSS](https://comparepv.com/panel/huayao-hy650-m132css) | 650 W | -50 W, lighter, -1.6 pp | | [Huayao HY655-M132CSS](https://comparepv.com/panel/huayao-hy655-m132css) | 655 W | Lighter, -1.5 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Huayao HY660-M132CSS](https://comparepv.com/panel/huayao-hy660-m132css) | 660 W | Lighter, -1.3 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Huayao HY665-M132CSS](https://comparepv.com/panel/huayao-hy665-m132css) | 665 W | Lighter, -1.1 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Huayao HY670-M132CSS](https://comparepv.com/panel/huayao-hy670-m132css) | 670 W | Lighter, -1.0 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [AIKO AIKO-A805-GRH78Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a805-grh78dw) | 805 W | +105 W, cooler, +2.6 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A800-GRH78Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a800-grh78dw) | 800 W | +100 W, cooler, +2.4 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A795-GRH78Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a795-grh78dw) | 795 W | +95 W, cooler, +2.3 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/huayao-hy700-n132cdd Not in this file, on the page: the I-V and temperature curves lifted from the manufacturer's datasheet, a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
