**Bifacial design boosts energy yield** - The module captures light reflected from the ground, roof surface, or gravel, which can meaningfully increase annual energy yield on bright roofing membranes or ground-mount farms compared to standard monofacial panels. - **Efficiency on par with PERC peers** - Efficiency up to 21.37% is essentially matched by JS Solar JS210MHC120 (21.4%) and Hiwatt HW-M12/120H (21.4%) at the same 605 Wp max power, placing this series mid-pack among comparable PERC modules. - **30-year power warranty** - The manufacturer offers a 30-year linear power warranty alongside a 25-year product warranty, exceeding the typical 25-year power warranty offered by many PERC panel manufacturers in this segment. - **Reduced shading losses** - MBB technology combined with 3 bypass diodes limits the impact of partial shading on module output, which matters when mounting on industrial roofs with chimneys, skylights, or ventilation equipment. - **Branded Stäubli MC4 EVO2 connectors** - Factory-fitted certified Stäubli connectors, rather than generic equivalents, reduce the risk of power loss and failure at the cable-to-panel interface over a 25-30 year service life. ## Cons - **Manufacturer absent from BNEF Tier 1 list** - LEDVANCE does not appear on the BloombergNEF Tier 1 list for Q2 2026 (unlike JinkoSolar, Trina, or JA Solar), which may complicate bank financing for larger commercial projects requiring bankable brands. - **Efficiency trails top-tier segment models** - Maximum efficiency of 21.37% is notably below the 23.42% offered by GCL's SIROT Efficient NT10/72GDF at the same 605 Wp power rating - PERC technology is approaching its efficiency ceiling compared to newer N-type solutions. - **Short manufacturer track record in PV** - LEDVANCE as a brand has existed since 2016 and is primarily known from the lighting market, meaning a relatively short standalone track record in PV module manufacturing compared to producers with decades of PV-specific history. ## About this series The LEDVANCE M585~605P60UB-SF-F3 series are bifacial PERC panels designed specifically to truly increase energy yield in locations where every extra percentage counts-from warehouse rooftops, through commercial installations, to large ground-mounted systems. Thanks to their bifacial design, the module utilizes light reaching from both sides, allowing for better performance on bright membrane rooftops, gravel, or well-maintained grounds beneath a farm. This series also benefits from features that simplify installation and reduce the risk of downtime: MBB technology supports stable operation under partial shading, factory-fabricated Stäubli MC4 EVO2 connectors improve connection reliability, and three bypass diodes reduce losses when part of the module is shaded. Additionally, high mechanical durability and anti-reflective glass coating help in challenging wind and snow conditions. This is the choice for investors seeking predictable yields and longevity-not just good specifications on paper. ## Notable figures - At 21.4% efficiency, this panel is on par with typical \*\*PERC 600-650W\*\* modules - At 213.8 W/m² power density, roof space requirements are typical for \*\*PERC 600-650W\*\* panels - Temperature coefficient of -0.34%/°C matches the \*\*PERC 600-650W\*\* median - Weight of 35.0 kg is typical for \*\*PERC 600-650W\*\* panels - 99% bifaciality enables rear-side power generation, boosting yield by 5-15% on reflective surfaces ## Questions ### What warranty comes with the LEDVANCE M585~605P60UB-SF-F3 solar panels? The LEDVANCE M585~605P60UB-SF-F3 series comes with a 25-year product warranty covering materials and workmanship, and a 30-year linear power output warranty. The 30-year power guarantee is one of the longer ones available on the market and is a key factor when calculating ROI for commercial rooftop or ground-mounted systems. ### What does bifacial mean for the LEDVANCE M585~605P60UB-SF-F3 and does it actually boost energy yield? A bifacial panel captures sunlight from both the front and the rear surface. In the M585~605P60UB-SF-F3, the rear side harvests light reflected off the ground or rooftop substrate. On high-albedo surfaces such as white TPO membranes, gravel, or light-colored concrete, the additional rear-side gain typically ranges from a few to over ten percent, depending on tilt angle and ground reflectivity. ### How does the LEDVANCE M585~605P60UB-SF-F3 perform under partial shading from a chimney or antenna? The series uses MBB (multi-busbar) cell technology, which spreads current across multiple thin busbars and reduces power losses caused by localized shading. Three bypass diodes further isolate shaded cell strings, preventing hot-spot formation. Together, these features help the array maintain stable output even when part of a module is temporarily obstructed. ### What is the maximum power output of the LEDVANCE M585~605P60UB-SF-F3 series? The top-bin module in this series is rated at 605 Wp under standard test conditions (STC). The series spans from 585 Wp upward, allowing integrators to select the right power class for string sizing and minimize mismatch losses within the inverter MPPT range. ### Are the connectors on the LEDVANCE M585~605P60UB-SF-F3 compatible with standard PV cables? Yes. The M585~605P60UB-SF-F3 panels ship with factory-installed Stäubli MC4 EVO2 connectors, which are fully compatible with the MC4 standard widely used across the industry. They mate directly with 4 mm² or 6 mm² solar cable without adapters. Stäubli connectors are regarded as a top-tier choice for connection reliability and long-term weatherproofing. ### Can the LEDVANCE M585~605P60UB-SF-F3 handle heavy snow loads and strong winds? Yes. The modules are engineered for demanding weather conditions and withstand static mechanical loads up to 5400 Pa, equivalent to a heavy snow cover or high wind pressure. The anti-reflective coated glass improves energy yield in diffuse light while also providing impact resistance. This makes the series well-suited for commercial rooftops and ground-mounted farms in regions with variable or harsh climates. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/asset-13182823-m585-605p60ub-sf-f3-en-42a2aed007ca.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [AIKO AIKO-A650-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a650-mae72mw) | 650 W | Cooler, lighter, +3.8 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A645-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a645-mae72mw) | 645 W | Cooler, lighter, +3.6 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-560M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-560m) | 560 W | Cooler, lighter, +3.4 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A640-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a640-mae72mw) | 640 W | Cooler, lighter, +3.4 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-555M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-555m) | 555 W | Cooler, lighter, +3.2 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A635-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a635-mae72mw) | 635 W | Cooler, lighter, +3.2 pp | | [LEDVANCE M585~605P60UB-SF-F3 (585W bin)](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m585-605p60ub-sf-f3-585w-bin) | 585 W | -20 W, -0.7 pp | | [LEDVANCE M585~605P60UB-SF-F3 (590W bin)](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m585-605p60ub-sf-f3-590w-bin) | 590 W | -15 W, -0.5 pp | | [LEDVANCE M595P60UB-SF](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m595p60ub-sf) | 595 W | -10 W, cooler, -0.4 pp | | [LEDVANCE M585~605P60UB-SF-F3 (600W bin)](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m585-605p60ub-sf-f3-600w-bin) | 600 W | Very close match | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210N120](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210n120) | 680 W | +75 W, lighter, +2.7 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210N120-675](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210n120-675) | 675 W | +70 W, lighter, +2.5 pp | | [Q-SUN Solar QN-670HJT-01](https://comparepv.com/panel/q-sun-solar-qn-670hjt-01) | 670 W | +65 W, cooler, +2.3 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210N120-670](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210n120-670) | 670 W | +65 W, lighter, +2.3 pp | | [Q-SUN Solar QN-665HJT-01](https://comparepv.com/panel/q-sun-solar-qn-665hjt-01) | 665 W | +60 W, cooler, +2.1 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210N120-665](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210n120-665) | 665 W | +60 W, lighter, +2.1 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m605p60ub-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.
