The Jolywood JW-HD96N (Black Series) are bifacial glass-glass modules designed to operate reliably in both rooftop and ground-mounted installations. The use of n-type TOPCon cells translates to higher energy yield predictability over time and reduced degradation typically observed in the early stages of operation. Thanks to the ZERO LID feature, energy production does not decline due to light-induced degradation, a key advantage for long-term investments.

This is an excellent solution where performance in variable conditions is crucial - the series features better response to low light conditions, supporting energy generation in the morning, evening, and on cloudy days. Additionally, its low temperature coefficient helps mitigate power losses during summer, when modules tend to heat up.

The Black Series is designed for investors seeking to combine aesthetics (full black or black frame) with premium performance parameters - suitable for residential rooftops, commercial installations, and challenging environments, such as humid, dusty, or windy locations. The difference compared to many competitive series lies in the focus on the reliability of TOPCon technology and broader applications, including BIPV and vertical mounting.

What owners get
N-type TOPCon with ZERO LID

N-type cells eliminate light-induced degradation (LID/LeTID) inherent to older PERC technology. In practice this means no initial power step-loss in the first weeks of operation, improving yield predictability over the full investment horizon.

30-year power warranty ≥87.4%

Jolywood guarantees at least 87.4% of nominal power after 30 years — both the term and the threshold exceed the standard offered by many comparable TOPCon series (e.g., Recom Lynx and Sunlike Solar offer similar peak power but shorter or equal warranty periods). Product warranty is 25 years.

Low temperature coefficient -0.280%/°C

A Pmax temperature coefficient of -0.280%/°C compares favorably to typical PERC modules (-0.34% to -0.36%/°C) and is competitive within the premium TOPCon segment. With a NMOT of 45±2°C, the series maintains stable output under peak summer conditions.

~80% bifaciality factor, glass-glass construction

An ~80% bifaciality factor in a 2.0 mm/2.0 mm double-glass build enables meaningful rear-side energy capture in ground-mounted and high-albedo installations. The glass-glass structure also improves mechanical durability and extends real-world module lifetime.

BNEF Tier 1 – manufacturer bankability

Jolywood appears on the BNEF Tier 1 list in Q2 2026 (one of 42 global manufacturers), confirming bankability for internationally financed projects. The company has been operating since 2008 with an annual production capacity of approximately 10 GW.

Trade-offs
24.6 kg weight – higher roof load

The glass-glass construction (2.0 mm/2.0 mm) results in a module weight of 24.6 kg, roughly 10–15% heavier than a comparable glass-backsheet module (~21–22 kg). On older rooftops this may require an additional structural load assessment before installation.

Common questions

6 answered
What warranty does the Jolywood JW-HD96N Black Series come with?
The JW-HD96N series includes a 25-year product warranty and a 30-year linear power output warranty. After 30 years, the module is guaranteed to retain at least 87.4% of its rated power. This is one of the longer warranty packages available for bifacial Tier 1 modules and has a meaningful positive impact on ROI calculations.
What power output and efficiency does the Jolywood JW-HD96N series offer?
The JW-HD96N series is available in variants from 445 to 470 Wp with module efficiency ranging from 22.3% to 23.5%. High power density allows more energy to be harvested from a limited roof or ground area — especially valuable on smaller roof sections or in commercial installations where maximizing yield per square meter is critical.
How do the TOPCon cells in the JW-HD96N differ from standard PERC?
The n-type TOPCon cells used in the JW-HD96N feature zero light-induced degradation (ZERO LID), meaning power output does not drop during the first months of operation. The Pmax temperature coefficient is -0.280%/°C — notably better than typical PERC modules at -0.35 to -0.40%/°C — which limits power losses on hot summer days.
Are the JW-HD96N Black Series panels bifacial, and what does that mean for my system?
Yes, the JW-HD96N series features bifacial glass-glass construction. The rear side generates power from light reflected off the ground (albedo), potentially boosting overall energy yield by several to over ten percent — especially on bright surfaces, snow cover, or ground-mount systems with adequate clearance below the modules. Realizing the full bifacial gain requires proper system design.
Is the Jolywood JW-HD96N Black Series suitable for a sloped residential roof?
Yes, the JW-HD96N performs well on sloped roofs. The module measures 1762 × 1134 × 30 mm and weighs 24.6 kg, fitting standard racking systems. The black frame and black rear glass blend seamlessly with roof tiles. The glass-glass construction provides high resistance to moisture, dust, and wind loads typical of rooftop environments.
How do the JW-HD96N panels perform on cloudy days and in cold winter conditions?
N-type TOPCon cells deliver better low-irradiance response than PERC technology, resulting in higher yields in the morning, evening, and on overcast days. The module's operating range spans -40°C to +85°C, so cold winters pose no issue. The low temperature coefficient (-0.280%/°C) minimizes power loss in both peak summer heat and extreme cold.
