Given the 30-year product and power warranty, this raises questions about the manufacturer's ability to honor claims over such a long horizon. - **Inconsistent bifacial claims in description** - Descriptive materials for the series emphasize bifacial technology and dual-side energy harvesting, while the technical data flags the module as monofacial (is\_bifacial: false). Investors expecting extra albedo-driven yield could be misled. - **Rated power offers no differentiation** - The 375-380 Wp range matches VDS-S120/M6H and GKA166M120 exactly, so the series holds no power-output advantage over comparable 120-cell peer modules. ## About this series Photovoltaic panels from the LEPV 120 DOUBLE GLASS series represent a technologically advanced solution for investors focused on maximum durability and installation safety. Their foundation is a **glass-glass construction**, which effectively eliminates the problem of cell micro-cracks and protects the module against aggressive external factors, such as moisture or ammonia. The use of **bifacial technology** allows for active energy harvesting from both sides of the panel, which translates into a significantly higher energy yield compared to standard modules, especially when installed on high-albedo surfaces. Thanks to the use of half-cut cells, this series minimizes resistance losses and handles shading better, which is crucial in variable Polish weather conditions. Exceptional **Class A fire resistance** makes the LEPV 120 an ideal choice for facilities with heightened fire safety standards. This product is dedicated to agrivoltaic farms, carports, and large commercial installations, where a **slower rate of power degradation** over time is key. By choosing this series, you gain the certainty of stable system operation for decades, which directly shortens the return on investment time and ensures energy independence at the highest level. ## Notable figures - At 20.8% efficiency, this panel is 1.0pp below the \*\*database\*\* median of 21.8% - 208.3 W/m² power density is 9.8 W/m² below \*\*database\*\* median (218.1 W/m²) - requires larger installation area - At -0.35%/°C, loses 0.05pp more power per degree than \*\*database\*\* median (-0.30%/°C) - Weight of 24.0 kg (2.5 kg below \*\*database\*\* median of 26.5 kg) allows easier transport and roof mounting - Ranked #10421 out of 14005 panels for efficiency in the database ## Questions ### How does the Lina Energy LEPV 120 DOUBLE GLASS differ from standard backsheet panels? Instead of a polymer backsheet, the LEPV 120 DOUBLE GLASS uses a rear glass pane, forming a glass-glass laminate. This construction effectively blocks moisture and ammonia ingress, eliminates microcracks in cells, and significantly slows power degradation over time. It is particularly valuable in harsh environments such as livestock buildings, carports, or agrivoltaic installations where backsheet panels would deteriorate much faster. ### What warranty does Lina Energy offer on the LEPV 120 DOUBLE GLASS panels? Lina Energy provides a 30-year product warranty and a 30-year linear power output warranty. This premium-tier coverage reflects confidence in the durability of the glass-glass construction and gives investors greater certainty about long-term performance. An extended warranty directly improves LCOE calculations, especially in large commercial or utility-scale systems. ### Are the LEPV 120 DOUBLE GLASS panels suitable for agrivoltaic systems or carport installations? Yes, agrivoltaics and carports are core use cases for this series. The glass-glass construction resists ammonia and high humidity typical of agricultural environments. The panels meet Class A fire resistance requirements, which are often mandatory for livestock buildings and commercial carports. At 380 Wp per module with a durable encapsulation, they also perform well in large ground-mount utility arrays. ### How do the LEPV 120 DOUBLE GLASS panels handle shading and variable weather conditions? The half-cut cell architecture (120 cells per module) reduces resistive losses and limits the impact of partial shading from chimneys, trees, or neighboring structures. A temperature coefficient of approximately minus 0.37 percent per degree Celsius means the module retains good output both during hot summer peaks and on cold, sunny winter days, which are common in Central European climates. ### What does Class A fire resistance mean for the Lina Energy LEPV 120 DOUBLE GLASS, and why does it matter? Class A is the highest fire resistance rating for PV modules, certifying that the panel neither initiates nor spreads fire. This is critical for rooftop installations on public buildings, warehouses, and agricultural structures. In many European markets, commercial property insurers require Class A modules as a condition of coverage, making this rating a practical requirement rather than a marketing claim for large commercial projects. ### How much does an LEPV 120 DOUBLE GLASS panel weigh, and does it require a special mounting structure? Each module weighs approximately 19.2 kg — slightly heavier than comparable backsheet panels of the same format (1755×1038 mm) due to the dual-glass construction. A structural assessment of the roof or ground-mount racking is recommended before installation. For carports and agrivoltaic arrays, the additional weight is not an obstacle since those systems are engineered to handle full snow and wind loads as a baseline. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/9-5c42ef09a02a.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [JA Solar NS-330MH-80](https://comparepv.com/panel/ja-solar-ns-330mh-80) | 330 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.3 pp | | [PolyCrown Solar Tech NS-330MH-80](https://comparepv.com/panel/polycrown-solar-tech-ns-330mh-80) | 330 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.3 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M340W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m340w) | 340 W | -40 W, lighter, +2.2 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M360W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m360w) | 360 W | -20 W, lighter, +2.2 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M380W (1/4\*4\*38)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m380w-1-4-4-38) | 380 W | Lighter, +2.2 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M400W (1/2\*4\*20)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m400w-1-2-4-20) | 400 W | +20 W, lighter, +2.2 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M400W (1/4\*4\*40)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m400w-1-4-4-40) | 400 W | +20 W, lighter, +2.2 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M380W (1/2\*4\*19)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m380w-1-2-4-19) | 380 W | Lighter, +2.2 pp | | [Maxeon SPR-MAX3-430-R](https://comparepv.com/panel/maxeon-spr-max3-430-r) | 430 W | Cooler, +1.9 pp, +10 yr warranty | | [Maxeon SPR-MAX3-400-COM](https://comparepv.com/panel/maxeon-spr-max3-400-com) | 400 W | Cooler, +1.8 pp, +10 yr warranty | | [Lina Energy LEPV 375](https://comparepv.com/panel/lina-energy-lepv-375) | 375 W | -0.3 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | +130 W, cooler, +4.2 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | +115 W, cooler, +4.0 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-505M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-505m) | 505 W | +125 W, cooler, +3.9 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A490-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a490-mce54mw) | 490 W | +110 W, cooler, +3.7 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-500m) | 500 W | +120 W, cooler, +3.7 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/lina-energy-lepv-380 Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
