This means a larger module footprint is needed for the same power output, raising racking cost per m2 of roof. - **No bifacial variant in this series** - The STANDARD series is monofacial only (is\_bifacial: false), while Lina Energy's broader portfolio includes bifacial modules (e.g. LEPV 144 BIFACIAL). Investors seeking additional albedo yield (typically 5-15%) would need a different product line. - **Limited manufacturer track record** - Lina Energy was founded in 2017, giving it a much shorter production history than comparable tier-1 suppliers such as Canadian Solar (since 2001) or Jinko Solar (since 2006). This may matter to banks and insurers assessing bankability over a 25-year warranty horizon. ## About this series The Lina Energy LPEPV 72 STANDARD solar panel series was designed to maximize energy yields in demanding industrial conditions and large-scale solar farms. The use of **advanced PERC cell technology** allows for more efficient light capture, which translates into stable system operation even under lower sunlight. The design based on seventy-two cells optimizes the module's working surface, reducing the costs of the support structure and cabling while maintaining high unit power. This solves the problem of limited mounting space on commercial roofs, offering **increased resistance to potential-induced degradation (PID)**, which guarantees the longevity of the investment and predictability of return on capital. These modules stand out from the competition with their excellent **mechanical resistance to snow and wind loads**, which is crucial in the variable Central European climate. This is an ideal choice for investors seeking **reliability in on-grid installations**, where every watt of power produced over a long product life cycle matters. Thanks to careful material selection, this series minimizes transmission losses and ensures **high energy conversion efficiency**, becoming the foundation for profitable energy projects. ## Notable figures - At 17.5% efficiency, this panel is 4.3pp below the \*\*database\*\* median of 21.8% - Power density of 175.2 W/m² is 42.9 W/m² below \*\*database\*\* median (218.1 W/m²) - needs more roof space - Temperature coefficient of -0.40%/°C is 0.10pp worse than \*\*database\*\* median (-0.30%/°C) - higher losses in summer heat - Weight of 22.5 kg (4.0 kg below \*\*database\*\* median of 26.5 kg) allows easier transport and roof mounting - #13441 for efficiency, #13798 for temperature performance out of 14129 panels ## Questions ### What warranty does the Lina Energy LPEPV 72 STANDARD come with, and what does it cover? The LPEPV 72 STANDARD series carries a 20-year product warranty covering material and workmanship defects, and a 25-year linear power output warranty. The power warranty guarantees a predictable, gradual degradation curve over the module's lifetime, making it straightforward to model ROI and satisfy lender requirements in PPA or project-finance structures typical of utility-scale and commercial solar projects. ### What is PERC technology and does it actually improve efficiency in the LPEPV 72 STANDARD? PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell) adds a passivation layer to the rear of each cell, reducing electron recombination and reflecting unabsorbed photons back through the silicon junction. In practice this raises module efficiency by roughly 0.5-1 percentage point compared to conventional mono cells and improves low-irradiance performance. For the LPEPV 72 STANDARD, the result is stable energy yield even under the overcast conditions common in Central European climates. ### Do Lina Energy LPEPV 72 STANDARD panels perform well in winter and low-light conditions? Yes. PERC technology delivers better response to diffuse irradiance than standard crystalline cells. Cold ambient temperatures also work in favor of crystalline silicon efficiency, so clear winter days can produce peak power outputs comparable to - or exceeding - hot summer days. The series also features enhanced PID (Potential-Induced Degradation) resistance, protecting module performance during prolonged operation in challenging environments. ### What is the rated power of the LPEPV 72 STANDARD panel, and is 345 Wp sufficient for a utility-scale solar farm? The module is rated at 345 Wp (STC). The 72-cell PERC layout optimizes the power-to-footprint ratio, which directly reduces BoS costs - fewer support structure elements and less cabling per megawatt installed. For utility-scale on-grid projects, this format is well suited to keeping LCOE competitive while meeting strict bankability requirements over the full warranty period. ### Can the LPEPV 72 STANDARD handle high wind and snow loads on a commercial rooftop? Yes. These modules are engineered for demanding climatic conditions, with high mechanical resistance to snow and wind pressure typical of Central European winters. For developers deploying large rooftop arrays on industrial buildings or warehouses, this robustness reduces the risk of physical damage and the associated unplanned downtime or warranty claims. ### How does the Lina Energy LPEPV 72 STANDARD differ from the brand's bifacial panels? The LPEPV 72 STANDARD is a monofacial module - it harvests light through the front glass only. Lina Energy's bifacial series (e.g., LEPV 144 BIFACIAL) also captures reflected albedo from the ground surface, yielding a 5-15% bifacial gain under favorable conditions. The LPEPV 72 STANDARD is the better fit for commercial rooftops where albedo contribution is negligible and lower unit cost plus simpler installation outweigh the theoretical bifacial gain. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/13-fb480166fc10.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [SunLink LNSK-340M](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunlink-lnsk-340m) | 340 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.5 pp | | [Canadian Solar CS3K-330P](https://comparepv.com/panel/canadian-solar-cs3k-330p) | 330 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.4 pp | | [Canadian Solar CS3K-335MB-AG](https://comparepv.com/panel/canadian-solar-cs3k-335mb-ag) | 335 W | Cooler, +2.4 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [SunLink LNSK-335M](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunlink-lnsk-335m) | 335 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.2 pp | | [Canadian Solar CS3L-365P](https://comparepv.com/panel/canadian-solar-cs3l-365p) | 365 W | +25 W, cooler, +2.2 pp | | [Canadian Solar CS3U-390P](https://comparepv.com/panel/canadian-solar-cs3u-390p) | 390 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.2 pp | | [Canadian Solar CS3K-325P](https://comparepv.com/panel/canadian-solar-cs3k-325p) | 325 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.1 pp | | [Lina Energy LPEPV 345](https://comparepv.com/panel/lina-energy-lpepv-345) | 345 W | +0.3 pp | | [Maxeon SPR-MAX7-475](https://comparepv.com/panel/maxeon-spr-max7-475) | 475 W | +135 W, +6.5 pp, +15 yr warranty | | [Maxeon SPR-MAX7-470](https://comparepv.com/panel/maxeon-spr-max7-470) | 470 W | +130 W, +6.2 pp, +15 yr warranty | | [Maxeon SPR-MAX7-465](https://comparepv.com/panel/maxeon-spr-max7-465) | 465 W | Cooler, +6.0 pp, +15 yr warranty | | [Maxeon SPR-MAX6-440](https://comparepv.com/panel/maxeon-spr-max6-440) | 440 W | Cooler, +5.3 pp, +15 yr warranty | | [Maxeon SPR-MAX6-435](https://comparepv.com/panel/maxeon-spr-max6-435) | 435 W | Cooler, +5.0 pp, +15 yr warranty | | [Lina Energy LEPV 132 ULTRA PREMIUM BLACK 440Wp (LEPV 440)](https://comparepv.com/panel/lina-energy-lepv-132-ultra-premium-black-440wp-lepv-440) | 440 W | +100 W, cooler, +4.8 pp | | [JA Solar NS-420MH-80](https://comparepv.com/panel/ja-solar-ns-420mh-80) | 420 W | +80 W, cooler, +4.8 pp | | [PolyCrown Solar Tech NS-420MH-80](https://comparepv.com/panel/polycrown-solar-tech-ns-420mh-80) | 420 W | +80 W, cooler, +4.8 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/lina-energy-lpepv-340 Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
