The Leapton LP182*182-M-72-NH series consists of modules with N-type cells in a 144-cell array, designed for installations where stable energy production and predictable yields over a longer period are crucial. The use of N-type technology helps to minimize degradation over time and maintain high operating efficiency under varying solar conditions, which is particularly important in the Polish climate with frequent cloud cover and significant seasonal variations.

Compared to the competition, this series stands out due to its high conversion efficiency combined with a module format that allows for efficient use of roof or ground-mounted surfaces without excessive expansion. In practice, this means fewer modules to achieve the desired power output and simpler project logistics.

For industrial and commercial investors, the IP68 enclosure sealing class and compatibility with up to 1500 V systems are also important, which facilitates the design of modern string configurations. The LP182*182-M-72-NH series is suitable for PV farms, manufacturing and warehouse halls, as well as larger self-consumption installations, where durability and predictable performance are the top priorities.

What owners get
N-type cells limit degradation

N-type technology minimizes PID and LID effects, with the manufacturer guaranteeing 87.4% of nominal power after 30 years and 99% in the first year alone - a notably better degradation profile than typical PERC modules, which often lose around 2% in year one.

30-year linear power warranty

The segment standard is typically a 25-year power warranty dropping to roughly 84.8%, whereas the LP182*182-M-72-NH series offers 30 years while retaining 87.4% - a real advantage for investors optimizing LCOE over the long term.

Bifacial design boosts energy yield

The bifacial construction captures light reflected from the ground, which on bright surfaces (rooftops, gravel, snow) can add several percentage points of annual output without expanding the installed footprint.

IP68 rating and 1500V system compatibility

An IP68-rated junction box combined with readiness for 1500V system architectures simplifies the design of long strings in utility-scale PV plants and industrial installations, cutting cabling costs and inverter count.

Tier-1, established manufacturer

Leapton holds bankable Tier-1 status and has operated since 2012, which lowers financing risk and supports access to project debt for large-scale deployments.

Trade-offs
Efficiency trails top of segment

Peak efficiency of 22.1% is lower than direct N-type competitors at the same 585W power class - Hanersun Hitouch 5N (22.65%), Q-SUN Qrystal N8 (22.65%), and Risen RSM144-9 (22.6%). The roughly 0.5 percentage-point gap means a slightly larger array area is needed to reach the same installed capacity.

Notes from the database
  • Module efficiency of 21.4% is 1.1pp below average for N-type 550-600W panels (median: 22.4%)
  • Power density of 213.5 W/m² is 11.0 W/m² below N-type 550-600W median (224.5 W/m²) - needs more roof space

Common questions

6 answered
How does the N-type TOPCon technology in the Leapton LP182*182-M-72-NH series differ from standard PERC cells?
The N-type TOPCon cells in the LP182*182-M-72-NH series feature a lower temperature coefficient of power (approx. -0.30%/°C) and reduced long-term degradation compared to PERC. In practice, this means higher energy output over the module's lifetime and lower power losses on hot summer days, resulting in a better ROI — especially in large-scale commercial and utility installations.
What warranty coverage comes with the Leapton LP182*182-M-72-NH, and what is the difference between the product warranty and the power warranty?
The LP182*182-M-72-NH series comes with a 25-year product warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, plus a 30-year linear power warranty — the premium standard for N-type modules. The product warranty protects against manufacturing defects, while the power warranty guarantees that after 30 years the module will retain at least 87.4% of its rated power output.
Is the Leapton LP182*182-M-72-NH a bifacial module, and is the premium worth it?
Yes, the LP182*182-M-72-NH series is available in a bifacial (BF) configuration, allowing energy generation from both sides of the module by capturing light reflected from the ground or rooftop surface. In ground-mounted systems with a highly reflective albedo surface (gravel, snow, light-colored concrete), bifacial gain can add 5–15% to annual yield compared to a monofacial module — making it especially cost-effective for utility-scale PV farms.
Will the Leapton LP182*182-M-72-NH panels perform well in a climate with frequent cloud cover and short winter days?
Yes. The N-type TOPCon technology in the LP182*182-M-72-NH delivers superior low-light performance compared to PERC. The 144 half-cut cell layout also reduces losses under partial shading — critical for pitched roofs with chimneys or dormers. In northern European climates with high diffuse irradiation, N-type modules consistently record higher annual yields than PERC modules of the same nominal power rating.
What types of installations is the LP182*182-M-72-NH series best suited for — utility farms only, or also commercial rooftops?
The LP182*182-M-72-NH is well suited for both utility-scale PV farms and commercial rooftop installations on industrial buildings, warehouses, and logistics centers. Compatibility with 1500 V systems enables longer strings and lower BoS costs, while the IP68-rated junction box ensures reliable performance in humid and dusty environments. At up to 585 Wp per module, fewer panels are needed to reach the target system power.
How many Leapton LP182*182-M-72-NH modules do I need for a 100 kWp installation?
At a peak power of 585 Wp per module, a 100 kWp system requires approximately 171 panels (100,000 W / 585 W ≈ 171 units). The high per-module wattage reduces the total panel count and the roof area required compared to older technologies. The exact count depends on the specific power bin selected within the series range (565–585 Wp) and the applied power tolerance.
