**Architectural BIPV integration** - The module is designed to visually read as a roofing element rather than a separate installation - a real advantage in premium projects and retrofits where the investor or architect requires a cohesive facade aesthetic. - **Half-cut mono cells - shading tolerance** - The use of monocrystalline half-cut cells reduces output loss under partial shading (chimneys, dormers), leading to more stable yield on roofs with complex geometry. - **Anti-reflective glass coating** - Reduced light reflection supports a discreet appearance on the roof surface, an important selling point in the BIPV segment, where aesthetics are a key selection criterion alongside electrical parameters. - **30-year power warranty** - A linear power warranty of up to 30 years combined with a 20-year product warranty sits at the upper end of the BIPV segment, giving investors a longer payback horizon than the typical 25-year power warranties offered by some manufacturers. - **Solid low-irradiance performance** - The module design supports more stable energy production in the morning, evening, and on cloudy days, which is practically relevant for real annual yield in temperate climates such as Poland. ## Cons - **Efficiency below segment leader** - At the same maximum power of 360 Wp, the series' efficiency (17.92-18.44%) trails Corab's Encor EC360M-6-120FB (19.27%) by roughly 0.8-1.3 pp - meaning a larger module area is needed to reach the same power output, which can limit mounting options on smaller roof sections. - **Short manufacturer track record** - Lina Energy has operated since 2017, which - compared to more established Tier-1 brands with a decade or more of market presence - means a shorter documented history of honoring long-term warranties, including the 30-year power warranty. ## About this series The Lina Energy LE MEPV 108 Coloured BIPV series consists of modules designed for both aesthetic appeal and real energy production - without the compromises often associated with purely decorative solutions. A key advantage is the **architectural integration of BIPV**: the panel should look like a standard roof element, rather than an additional installation, making it easier to meet the expectations of investors and architects in premium projects and building renovations. The use of **monocrystalline** **solar cells** and **half-cut technology** improves tolerance to partial shading, which is important on roofs with dormers, chimneys, or dense surroundings. Furthermore, the **anti-reflective coating on the glass** reduces light reflection, further enhancing the discreet appearance of the roof. The series also stands out for its **good performance in low-light conditions** - in practice, it helps maintain a more stable energy production in the morning, evening, and on cloudy days. This solution is ideal for single-family homes, residential developments, and buildings where aesthetics, compliance with the design, and predictable energy yield are important. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 17.9% is 0.5pp below the \*\*BIPV 0-400W\*\* median (18.4%) - At 179.2 W/m², this panel generates 5.2 W/m² less per unit area than \*\*BIPV 0-400W\*\* median (184.4 W/m²) - Temperature coefficient of -0.35%/°C matches the \*\*BIPV 0-400W\*\* median - In the top 95% for efficiency among all BIPV panels ## Questions ### How are the Lina Energy LE MEPV 108 Coloured BIPV panels different from standard PV modules? The LE MEPV 108 Coloured BIPV series is designed to function as an actual roofing element rather than an add-on overlay. The colored finish allows the panel to blend into the roof surface instead of standing out like a conventional installation. It still delivers real power generation up to 360 Wp while meeting the aesthetic standards required for premium builds and building renovation projects. ### What warranty does the Lina Energy LE MEPV 108 Coloured BIPV come with? The LE MEPV 108 Coloured BIPV series carries a 20-year product warranty and a 30-year power output warranty. This means the manufacturer guarantees a specified minimum percentage of the module's rated output for three decades, giving investors long-term confidence in the return on their investment. ### Are the LE MEPV 108 Coloured BIPV panels suitable for roofs with chimneys or dormers? Yes. The LE MEPV 108 Coloured BIPV series uses monocrystalline half-cut cell technology, which significantly improves tolerance to partial shading. When a chimney, dormer, or antenna casts a shadow, energy losses are limited to the shaded portion of the module and do not shut down the entire string, making the series a practical choice for complex roof layouts. ### What is the maximum power output of the Lina Energy LE MEPV 108 Coloured BIPV panel? The maximum rated power of the LE MEPV 108 Coloured BIPV module is 360 Wp. The series features 108 monocrystalline half-cut cells. Actual energy yield will depend on site-specific factors including irradiance levels, roof tilt, orientation, and ambient temperature. ### Is the Lina Energy LE MEPV 108 Coloured BIPV a bifacial module? No, the LE MEPV 108 Coloured BIPV series is not a bifacial module. Energy is harvested from the front side only. This is inherent to the BIPV application: the rear face of the module is integrated into the roof structure and has no access to reflected light. ### Do the LE MEPV 108 Coloured BIPV panels perform well in low-light conditions and on overcast days? Yes. According to the manufacturer, the LE MEPV 108 Coloured BIPV series delivers strong low-light performance. The anti-reflective coating on the glass maximizes absorption of available light, while the monocrystalline half-cut cells maintain higher efficiency during morning, evening, and overcast hours compared to standard polycrystalline modules. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/LE-MEPV-108-COLOURED-BIPV-350-360Wp-a2a167bbb331.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [JA Solar NS-300MH-72](https://comparepv.com/panel/ja-solar-ns-300mh-72) | 300 W | Cooler, lighter, +5.4 pp | | [PolyCrown Solar Tech NS-300MH-72](https://comparepv.com/panel/polycrown-solar-tech-ns-300mh-72) | 300 W | Cooler, lighter, +5.4 pp | | [JA Solar NS-330MH-80](https://comparepv.com/panel/ja-solar-ns-330mh-80) | 330 W | Cooler, lighter, +5.2 pp | | [PolyCrown Solar Tech NS-330MH-80](https://comparepv.com/panel/polycrown-solar-tech-ns-330mh-80) | 330 W | Cooler, lighter, +5.2 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA182M300W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka182m300w) | 300 W | -50 W, lighter, +5.1 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M320W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m320w) | 320 W | -30 W, lighter, +5.1 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M340W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m340w) | 340 W | -10 W, lighter, +5.1 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M360W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m360w) | 360 W | +10 W, lighter, +5.1 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M380W (1/4\*4\*38)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m380w-1-4-4-38) | 380 W | +30 W, lighter, +5.1 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M400W (1/2\*4\*20)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m400w-1-2-4-20) | 400 W | +50 W, lighter, +5.1 pp | | [Lina Energy MEPV 360 (Terracotta)](https://comparepv.com/panel/lina-energy-mepv-360-terracotta) | 360 W | +10 W, +0.5 pp | | [Lina Energy LEPV 410](https://comparepv.com/panel/lina-energy-lepv-410) | 410 W | +60 W, +3.1 pp | | [Lina Energy LEPV 415](https://comparepv.com/panel/lina-energy-lepv-415) | 415 W | +65 W, +3.3 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | +160 W, cooler, +7.1 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | +145 W, cooler, +6.9 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-505M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-505m) | 505 W | +155 W, cooler, +6.8 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/lina-energy-mepv-350-terracotta Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
