The application of **PERC monocrystalline cells** and **Multibus™ string technology (MBB)** ensures uniform current flow and minimizes losses, translating to better performance during partial shading and in less-than-ideal exposure scenarios. Durability is also a key focus in this series. The manufacturer emphasizes the limitation of the **photovoltaic-induced degradation (PID) effect**, thanks to the quality of materials and process control, which is particularly important for installations exposed to moisture and varying environmental conditions. For installers, a real advantage comes from the use of **original Stäubli MC4 EVO 2 connectors** and the option to choose a variant with a longer cable, simplifying string design and cable management. This makes it an excellent choice for residential, commercial, and industrial projects, where reliability and refined construction are essential. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 20.2% is 0.8pp above the \*\*PERC 0-400W\*\* median (19.4%) - Power density of 202.3 W/m² packs 8.1 W/m² more into the same footprint vs \*\*PERC 0-400W\*\* median (194.2 W/m²) - At -0.35%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for \*\*PERC 0-400W\*\* panels - Ranked #12013 out of 14129 panels for efficiency in the database ## Questions ### What warranty does the LEDVANCE M395~415P54LM-BF-F3 series come with? The M395~415P54LM-BF-F3 series carries a 12-year product warranty and a 25-year linear power output warranty. After 25 years of operation the panel is guaranteed to retain at least 84.8% of its rated power. These are solid terms for both residential and commercial installations, providing predictable long-term return on investment across the full financing period. ### Do the LEDVANCE M395~415P54LM-BF-F3 black-frame panels look good on a pitched roof? Yes, the all-black frame makes the M395~415P54LM-BF-F3 modules a clean visual match for dark roof coverings such as asphalt shingles, slate, or dark metal roofing. At approximately 1722×1134 mm and around 20 kg, the module dimensions fit standard racking hardware for both pitched roofs and flat-roof ballast systems without requiring custom mounting solutions. ### How does the LEDVANCE M395~415P54LM-BF-F3 series handle high summer temperatures? The combination of monocrystalline PERC cells and a multi-busbar (MBB) layout results in a power temperature coefficient of approximately -0.35%/°C, which is more favorable than older poly modules. This means smaller power losses on hot days when panel surface temperatures can exceed 60°C, directly improving annual energy yield in warm climates. ### Is the LEDVANCE M395~415P54LM-BF-F3 series resistant to PID, and why does it matter? LEDVANCE highlights reduced PID (Potential Induced Degradation) risk through careful material selection and strict production process control. PID can cause permanent and difficult-to-reverse power loss, especially in installations exposed to moisture and large temperature swings. Strong PID resistance is particularly relevant in longer, high-voltage strings typical of commercial and industrial rooftop systems. ### What connectors do the LEDVANCE M395~415P54LM-BF-F3 panels ship with, and are they compatible with my system? The series ships with genuine Stäubli MC4 EVO 2 connectors, widely regarded as one of the most reliable standards in the PV industry. An extended-cable variant is also available, simplifying string layout and keeping wiring organized. MC4 EVO 2 connectors are compatible with the vast majority of PV wiring systems built on the MC4 standard. ### What types of installations are the LEDVANCE M395~415P54LM-BF-F3 modules rated up to 415 Wp best suited for? With a peak output of 415 Wp, the M395~415P54LM-BF-F3 series is designed for residential prosumer rooftop systems as well as larger commercial and industrial projects where long-term reliability is critical. Solid PID resistance, Stäubli MC4 EVO 2 connectors, and module efficiency exceeding 21% make these panels a dependable choice for demanding, larger-string configurations. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/asset-13182698-m395-415p54lm-bf-f3-en-a6bda506afee.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [Luxor Solar LX-440M/182-108+GG](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-440m-182-108-gg) | 440 W | Cooler, +2.9 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M360W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m360w) | 360 W | Lighter, +2.8 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M380W (1/4\*4\*38)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m380w-1-4-4-38) | 380 W | Lighter, +2.8 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M400W (1/2\*4\*20)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m400w-1-2-4-20) | 400 W | Lighter, +2.8 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M400W (1/4\*4\*40)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m400w-1-4-4-40) | 400 W | Lighter, +2.8 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M380W (1/2\*4\*19)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m380w-1-2-4-19) | 380 W | Lighter, +2.8 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Jetion JT440SYK(B)](https://comparepv.com/panel/jetion-jt440syk-b) | 440 W | Cooler, +2.7 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Luxor Solar LX-440M/182-108+](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-440m-182-108) | 440 W | +45 W, cooler, +2.6 pp | | [LEDVANCE M385~405P54LM-BB-F3 (385W class)](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m385-405p54lm-bb-f3-385w-class) | 385 W | -10 W, -0.5 pp | | [LEDVANCE M385~405P54LM-BB-F3 (390W class)](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m385-405p54lm-bb-f3-390w-class) | 390 W | -0.2 pp | | [LEDVANCE M385~405P54LM-BB-F3 (400W class)](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m385-405p54lm-bb-f3-400w-class) | 400 W | +0.3 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | +115 W, cooler, +4.8 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | +100 W, cooler, +4.6 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-505M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-505m) | 505 W | +110 W, cooler, +4.5 pp | | [WINAICO WST-505BKX54-A2](https://comparepv.com/panel/winaico-wst-505bkx54-a2) | 505 W | +110 W, cooler, +4.5 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A490-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a490-mce54mw) | 490 W | +95 W, cooler, +4.3 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m395p54lm-bf-f3 Not in this file, on the page: the I-V and temperature curves lifted from the manufacturer's datasheet, a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
