N-type TOPCon technology delivers lower LID/LeTID degradation and better high-temperature performance than older PERC cells. - **Bifacial design boosts energy yield** - The bifacial construction captures additional energy from reflected light off high-albedo surfaces - a real production gain, particularly in ground-mount installations and light-colored C&I roofs where the albedo effect is fully utilized. - **Extended warranty: 25-year product, 30-year power** - LEDVANCE guarantees retention of at least 87.4% of nominal power after 30 years - a longer power warranty than the standard 25 years offered by many Tier-1 manufacturers, reducing long-term degradation risk for investors. - **Glass-glass construction with Stäubli MC4 EVO2 connectors** - The dual-glass build (2 mm) improves moisture sealing and mechanical resistance (snow, hail load) versus glass-backsheet modules, while original Stäubli MC4 EVO2 connectors enable certified, safe system integration without counterfeit-connector risk. - **PID resistance** - Quality control during manufacturing mitigates potential-induced degradation (PID) risk, which matters for large-scale C&I and utility PV plants operating at high DC system voltages. ## Cons - **LEDVANCE absent from BNEF Tier 1 list** - The manufacturer does not appear on BloombergNEF's Tier 1 list (Q2 2026, 42 manufacturers including Jinko, LONGi, Trina, JA Solar), which can complicate project financing (bankability) for C&I and utility-scale deployments where lenders often require Tier-1 status. - **Limited track record in PV segment** - LEDVANCE, primarily known for lighting products, entered the PV panel segment relatively recently (series launched in 2024, company founded 2016), meaning it lacks the multi-year field track record of mature PV manufacturers like Emmvee or ZNShine. ## About this series The LEDVANCE M560~580N72LB-SF-F3 series are modules engineered for maximizing energy yield where every square meter counts - on C&I rooftops, ground-mounted installations, and projects where long-term production predictability is key. The application of **N-type cells in TOPCon technology** helps maintain high operational efficiency even under challenging thermal conditions and intense sunlight, while the **bifacial design** allows capturing additional energy from reflected light, effectively boosting output on bright rooftops and on appropriately prepared foundations in PV farms. A highlight of this series is the **glass-glass construction**, offering superior protection against moisture and mechanical stress, supporting parameter stability over the long term. For investors, the **resistance to PID** is ensured through quality control, and the **original Stäubli MC4 EVO2 connectors** facilitate safe integration into professional systems. This is the proposal for those seeking durability, high yields, and reduced operational risk. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 21.9% is 0.6pp below the \*\*TOPCon 550-600W\*\* median (22.4%) - 218.7 W/m² power density is 5.7 W/m² below \*\*TOPCon 550-600W\*\* median (224.4 W/m²) - requires larger installation area - Temperature coefficient of -0.30%/°C matches the \*\*TOPCon 550-600W\*\* median - 100% bifaciality enables rear-side power generation, boosting yield by 5-15% on reflective surfaces - Ranked #6908 out of 14005 panels for efficiency in the database ## Questions ### Is the LEDVANCE M560~580N72LB-SF-F3 glass-glass module significantly heavier than a standard framed panel? The module weighs approximately 31.7 kg with dimensions of 2278×1134×30 mm, which is somewhat heavier than a comparable single-glass panel. Roof or racking load capacity should be verified before installation. The dual-glass (glass-glass) construction offers superior moisture resistance and mechanical load tolerance, extending system lifetime and reducing the risk of parameter degradation over the years. ### How does TOPCon technology affect the performance of LEDVANCE M560~580N72LB-SF-F3 panels on hot summer days? N-type TOPCon cells carry a power temperature coefficient of -0.30%/°C, which is more favorable than typical PERC cells at -0.35%/°C. On a rooftop heated to 60°C, the panel loses proportionally less output, resulting in a measurable improvement in annual energy yield. For C&I systems operating at full irradiance throughout summer, the difference in annual production becomes noticeable within the first season. ### How much additional energy does the bifacial design of the LEDVANCE M560~580N72LB-SF-F3 actually deliver in practice? Bifacial operation captures light reflected onto the rear glass, delivering roughly 5–15% additional yield compared to a monofacial module of equivalent rated power, depending on surface albedo. The gain is most pronounced on light-colored membrane rooftops, gravel-covered ground-mount systems, or in winter conditions with snow cover. Proper module elevation above the reflecting surface is key to maximizing bifacial gain. ### What warranties does the LEDVANCE M560~580N72LB-SF-F3 come with and what exactly do they cover? LEDVANCE provides a 25-year product warranty covering materials and workmanship, plus a 30-year linear power output warranty guaranteeing at least 87.4% of rated power at end of life. This is among the more comprehensive warranty packages on the market, making long-term LCOE calculations more predictable and particularly valuable for C&I rooftop and utility-scale projects with extended financing horizons. ### Are the connectors on LEDVANCE M560~580N72LB-SF-F3 panels compatible with standard MC4 wiring and equipment? The series ships with genuine Stäubli MC4 EVO2 connectors, which are fully compatible with the standard MC4 interface used across the vast majority of inverters, combiner boxes, and PV cables available on the market. Stäubli connectors are recognized for their IP68 sealing and mechanical durability, reducing connector-related failure risk in installations exposed to prolonged moisture and UV. ### Are LEDVANCE M560~580N72LB-SF-F3 panels suitable for industrial hall and warehouse rooftop systems? Yes, the M560~580N72LB-SF-F3 series is designed with C&I applications in mind — factory rooftops, logistics centers, and warehouses. Cell efficiency reaching up to 22.45% maximizes power output per square meter of available roof area, and a static load rating of up to 5,400 Pa meets the structural requirements of most commercial roofing systems. Built-in PID resistance further lowers operational risk in large-scale series-connected arrays. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/asset-13237328-m560-580n72lb-sf-f3-en-79f2d33b7a52.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-560M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-560m) | 560 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.9 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-555M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-555m) | 555 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.7 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVHL-550M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvhl-550m) | 550 W | Cooler, 15 kg lighter, +2.5 pp | | [JA Solar JAT60S40-540/LR](https://comparepv.com/panel/ja-solar-jat60s40-540-lr) | 540 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.5 pp | | [Gokin GK-5-60HG-540M](https://comparepv.com/panel/gokin-gk-5-60hg-540m) | 540 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.5 pp | | [Jinko Solar JKM545-54QL6-DV-F1-EU](https://comparepv.com/panel/jinko-solar-jkm545-54ql6-dv-f1-eu) | 545 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.4 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-545M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-545m) | 545 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.3 pp | | [LEDVANCE M540P72LM-SF](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m540p72lm-sf) | 540 W | Lighter, -1.0 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [LEDVANCE M545P72LM-SF](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m545p72lm-sf) | 545 W | Lighter, -0.8 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [LEDVANCE M550P72LM-SF](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m550p72lm-sf) | 550 W | Hotter, lighter, -5 yr warranty | | [LEDVANCE M555P72LM-SF](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m555p72lm-sf) | 555 W | Hotter, lighter, -5 yr warranty | | [LEDVANCE M560P72LM-SF](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m560p72lm-sf) | 560 W | Hotter, lighter, -5 yr warranty | | [LEDVANCE M570N72LB-SF-F3](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m570n72lb-sf-f3) | 570 W | Very close match | | [LEDVANCE M575N72LB-SF-F3](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m575n72lb-sf-f3) | 575 W | +10 W, +0.4 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A650-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a650-mae72mw) | 650 W | +85 W, lighter, +3.3 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A645-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a645-mae72mw) | 645 W | +80 W, lighter, +3.1 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m565n72lb-sf-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, a bifacial gain calculator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
