Strong in heat, no clear weak spot
The Jolywood JW-HD108N-R2 Black Series are full-black modules designed for maximum energy yield where both performance and roof aesthetics matter. Using N-type TOPCon cells helps reduce typical power losses over time - a tangible benefit for investors seeking sustained high output over long years, not just during the first season. The bifacial construction harnesses reflected light, supporting higher energy yields particularly when installed on light surfaces, flat roofs, and ground-mounted systems.
In practice, this series addresses two common challenges: limited installation space and production drops under demanding conditions. Thanks to double glazing, the modules are ready for operation in high-humidity environments and heavy-duty applications, while the full-black appearance makes them easy to integrate with modern buildings. This is an excellent choice for premium homes, businesses, and installations demanding high reliability and refined visual appeal.
Ranking
Signals from the data
Residential and commercial.
Top 10% of the TOPCon 500-550 W segment, against a median of -0.290. Ranked 1,309th in the whole database.
Top 15% of the TOPCon 500-550 W segment, against a median of 227.4.
Top 16% of the TOPCon 500-550 W segment, against a median of 22.73%.
N-type TOPCon cells eliminate Light Induced Degradation (LID) inherent to P-type PERC. The Pmax temperature coefficient of -0.280%/°C translates to measurably higher summer energy yield compared to standard PERC modules (-0.35%/°C), improving real-world annual kWh output.
The 525 Wp variant reaches 23.6% module efficiency, matching the Jinko Tiger Neo 54HL4M-BDV (23.61%) and outperforming the VSUN N-132MH-BB (22.11%). The 6-variant lineup spanning 500–525 Wp provides flexibility for roof-area-constrained system design.
Jolywood guarantees at least 87.4% of rated power after 30 years. Most Tier-1 peers (Trina, JA Solar) offer 25-year warranties degrading to approximately 84.8%, making this series more favorable for LCOE calculations over long investment horizons.
The bifacial design with 2.0/2.0 mm dual-glass construction captures light reflected from the ground surface. The manufacturer rates bifacial gain at up to +25% under favorable conditions (high-albedo surface, ground-mount or flat roof with adequate clearance). Dual-glass also improves PID resistance and moisture durability in coastal or industrial environments.
Jolywood is listed on the BNEF Tier-1 bankable manufacturer list for Q2 2026, confirming eligibility for independent commercial bank financing on utility-scale projects. Four consecutive Kiwa PVEL Top Performer Module Scorecard recognitions provide third-party evidence of consistent manufacturing quality and below-average field degradation risk.
Jolywood has a single official distributor in Poland (Łódź), while Jinko Solar, Longi, and Trina Solar maintain extensive multi-tier distribution and service networks in the country. For commercial installations with SLA requirements, longer RMA response times represent a real operational risk.
The dual-glass construction results in a module weight of 27.3 kg (1960×1134×30 mm), approximately 25–30% heavier than comparable single-glass / backsheet modules (~20–22 kg). Large rooftop installations on older or industrial buildings may require additional structural load calculations, adding engineering cost to the BoS budget.
- At 23.2% efficiency, this panel is on par with typical TOPCon 500-550W modules
- Power density of 231.7 W/m² packs 4.3 W/m² more into the same footprint vs TOPCon 500-550W median (227.4 W/m²)
- At -0.28%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for TOPCon 500-550W panels
- Bifaciality factor of 80% can add 4-12% extra yield with reflective mounting surface
- Ranked #1306 out of 14005 panels for efficiency in the database
