Solid all-round for its segment
The Leapton LP182*182-M-72-NB series consists of dual-sided modules with a dual glass construction, designed for stable operation in challenging conditions and to maximize the available mounting surface. The use of N-type monocrystalline cells and MBB technology results in improved power generation from the entire cell surface and reduced losses in practical installations, particularly where high repeatability of yields is important.
A key advantage of this series is dual-sided energy generation - the panel can recover additional power from the rear side as well, when the installation has a suitable substrate or is mounted on structures that promote light reflection. In real conditions in Poland, this also leads to better performance under less sunlight, which is particularly important in winter and on cloudy days.
This is a good choice for PV farms, large commercial rooftops, and industrial installations where durability, environmental resistance, and predictable energy production over the years are important.
Ranking
Signals from the data
Commercial and utility-scale.
Efficiency of up to 22.64% puts the series nearly on par with the strongest peer comparables - Hanersun Hitouch 5N (22.65%) and Q-SUN Qrystal N8 (22.65%) - within the same 565-585 W power range, meaning no meaningful gap versus competitors at a comparable module footprint.
N-type monocrystalline TOPCon cells combined with multi-busbar (MBB) interconnection reduce LID/LeTID degradation and improve current collection across the full cell surface, delivering higher and more stable annual yield than older PERC modules.
Bifaciality enables an additional 5-25% rear-side energy gain on suitable ground surfaces (per manufacturer data), while the glass-glass build increases mechanical and environmental durability - valuable for utility-scale and industrial installations.
The manufacturer offers a 25-year product warranty and a 30-year linear power warranty, matching the standard currently offered by leading Tier-1 manufacturers in the N-type module segment and supporting predictable long-term energy output.
The module is TÜV Nord-certified for wind loads up to 2400 Pa and snow loads up to 5400 Pa, making the series well suited to harsher climate conditions, including rooftop installations exposed to significant snow load in Poland.
- Efficiency of 22.6% matches the TOPCon 550-600W median
- Power density of 226.4 W/m² matches the TOPCon 550-600W median
- Temperature coefficient of -0.30%/°C matches the TOPCon 550-600W median
- 80% bifaciality enables rear-side power generation, boosting yield by 4-12% on reflective surfaces
- Ranked #3600 out of 14005 panels for efficiency in the database
