Strong in heat, no clear weak spot
Kensol PERUN GLASS DUO MNHTR2-BI panels are advanced modules based on N-type technology that redefine market standards for durability and efficiency. Their innovative glass-glass design provides uncompromising cell protection against potential-induced degradation (PID) and the harmful effects of atmospheric factors. By fully utilizing bifacial technology, these modules also generate energy from radiation reflected from the ground, which significantly increases total power yield compared to single-sided counterparts. The use of TOPCon cells allows for achieving exceptional efficiency even in low light intensity, offering users energy stability throughout the year. This solution is dedicated primarily to conscious investors looking for premium products that combine elegant design with the highest resistance to material aging. What distinguishes them from the competition is an optimized temperature coefficient, minimizing power drops during summer heat. The PERUN GLASS DUO series is the optimal choice for modern households and large PV farms focusing on maximum longevity of the system. Choosing this model guarantees safe operation for decades and eliminates the problem of cell micro-cracks, ensuring a fast and predictable return on investment.
Ranking
Signals from the data
Residential, commercial and hot-climate.
Top 21% of the N-type 450-500 W segment, against a median of -0.290.
Efficiency of 21.8-23% places the PERUN GLASS DUO series clearly above the Zonergy ZPM MH3-72 peer (21.16%) and on par with Risen RSM96-11-440-460BNDG (23%), meaning less roof area is needed for the same output at comparable 435-460 Wp power.
The double-glass build eliminates potential-induced degradation (PID) risk and reduces cell micro-crack exposure, a meaningful advantage over cheaper backsheet-based modules still used in parts of the competitive segment.
The active rear side captures reflected irradiance from the ground (bifaciality factor around ~80% per the manufacturer's documentation), delivering a real annual yield uplift versus monofacial panels of the same nominal power.
A 30-year linear product and power warranty exceeds the segment's typical 12-15 year product / 25-year power coverage, offering longer investment protection than the average tier-1 offering.
Kensol, operating since 2014 and headquartered in Poland, provides a shorter logistics chain and local EU-based warranty support, easing enforcement of the 30-year warranty compared to non-European manufacturers.
Unlike the Risen peer (an established BloombergNEF Tier 1 manufacturer), publicly available sources do not confirm Kensol's presence on the BNEF Tier 1 list, which can be a relevant bankability criterion for large bank-financed PV farm projects.
- Efficiency of 23.0% matches the N-type 450-500W median
- At 230.2 W/m² power density, this panel generates 5.0 W/m² more per unit area than N-type 450-500W median (225.2 W/m²)
- At -0.28%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for N-type 450-500W panels
- Bifaciality factor of 80% can add 4-12% extra yield with reflective mounting surface
- #1919 for efficiency, #1309 for temperature performance out of 14005 panels

Datasheet charts
Measured curves published by Kensol in this model's datasheet. A chart carrying a wattage was measured on that variant alone - only the ones that describe 460 Wp appear here. The rest cover the whole series.
Simulations
Degradation from this panel's own datasheet figures. No inverter, soiling or shading losses.
Model: bifaciality × albedo × 0.6 view factor. A first-order estimate, not a yield simulation.
