This may limit access to bank financing for large-scale C&I projects and utility-scale PV farms where manufacturer bankability is a formal criterion. - **Efficiency trails top-tier peers** - The series' maximum efficiency is 21.38%, while a comparable GCL SIROT NT10/72GDF module at the same 605 Wp power class reaches 23.42% - a roughly 2-point gap attributable to PERC cell technology versus the more advanced N-type cells used by some competitors. ## About this series Panels LEDVANCE M585~605P60UB-SF-F7 are designed for installations where high energy production on limited space and stable performance year after year are crucial. The application of **bifacial construction** effectively utilizes reflected light from the substrate, genuinely boosting yields in ground-mounted systems, flat roofs, and light-colored coverings. These modules are based on cutting-edge light conversion technology, and **TopCon technology** is optimized for better operation under variable sunlight conditions and higher temperatures, which is significant during summer and in installations with low irradiance. In practice, this helps minimize power losses and enhance production predictability. A key feature is the **glass-glass structure**, offering superior protection against moisture and mechanical stress while supporting fire safety. The series is also designed to **limit the PID effect** through quality control, a factor appreciated by investors seeking stable parameters. This makes it an excellent choice for premium residential, C&I, and utility-scale PV systems, where **low degradation over time** and reliable performance are paramount. ## Notable figures - At 21.4% efficiency, this panel is on par with typical \*\*PERC 600-650W\*\* modules - Power density of 213.8 W/m² matches the \*\*PERC 600-650W\*\* median - Temperature coefficient of -0.30%/°C vs median -0.34%/°C means ~2% less power loss at 65°C - In the top 60% for efficiency among all PERC panels ## Questions ### What warranty does the LEDVANCE M585~605P60UB-SF-F7 series come with? The LEDVANCE M585~605P60UB-SF-F7 series comes with a 25-year product warranty and a 30-year linear power output warranty. The 30-year power guarantee is above the current market standard and assures that the manufacturer will maintain specified performance levels for three decades. For C&I investors and project financing, this is a significant factor when calculating LCOE and expected return on investment. ### What type of installation is the LEDVANCE M585~605P60UB-SF-F7 best suited for? The bifacial design and glass-glass construction make this series ideal for ground-mounted systems, utility-scale PV farms, and flat rooftops with light-colored surfaces where the rear side can harvest reflected irradiance. At up to 605 Wp per module, fewer modules are needed to reach the target system capacity, which reduces BoS costs and installation time significantly. ### What does the glass-glass construction mean in the M585~605P60UB-SF-F7 series and what are the benefits? In a glass-glass module, the standard polymer backsheet is replaced by a tempered glass sheet. This provides superior protection against moisture ingress, mechanical loads from snow and wind, and ammonia exposure in agricultural environments. Glass is non-combustible, which improves the fire safety class of the installation. Glass-glass modules typically offer a longer service life than conventional modules, consistent with the series' 30-year power warranty. ### Is the LEDVANCE M585~605P60UB-SF-F7 resistant to PID? Yes, the series is designed to minimize susceptibility to PID (Potential Induced Degradation), a gradual power loss caused by leakage currents between cells and the frame. PID is particularly problematic in large string installations operating at high system voltages. Proper encapsulant material selection and rigorous PERC cell quality control reduce PID risk and help stabilize long-term energy output. ### What is the maximum power output and cell technology of the LEDVANCE M585~605P60UB-SF-F7? The maximum rated power is 605 Wp. The modules use PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell) technology in a bifacial configuration, with 210 mm half-cut cells and multi-busbar architecture. This design reduces internal resistance, improves partial-shading tolerance, and increases module efficiency while limiting susceptibility to micro-cracks and hotspots during long-term operation. ### Is LEDVANCE a Tier 1 manufacturer and does it matter when buying the M585~605P60UB-SF-F7? LEDVANCE is not currently listed as a Tier 1 manufacturer by independent financial rating agencies. Tier 1 status relates to a manufacturer's financial bankability and is sometimes required by project finance banks and specific insurance underwriters for large-scale PV installations. For residential prosumers or smaller C&I projects the absence of Tier 1 status is not necessarily a deal-breaker, but it is advisable to verify the availability of authorized service and spare parts in your market before purchasing. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/asset-13237388-m585-605p60ub-sf-f7-91443a6afe96.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [AIKO AIKO-A650-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a650-mae72mw) | 650 W | +45 W, lighter, +3.8 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A645-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a645-mae72mw) | 645 W | +40 W, lighter, +3.6 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-560M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-560m) | 560 W | -45 W, 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 | -50 W, 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, hotter, -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, hotter, -0.5 pp | | [LEDVANCE M595P60UB-SF](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m595p60ub-sf) | 595 W | -10 W, -0.4 pp | | [LEDVANCE M585~605P60UB-SF-F3 (600W bin)](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m585-605p60ub-sf-f3-600w-bin) | 600 W | Hotter | | [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 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.
