Thanks to this innovative solution, the modules handle the problem of partial shading much better, which is crucial on complex roof surfaces with chimneys, dormers, or nearby trees. The **Full Black** design, featuring a black frame, black cells, and a black backsheet, makes the panels blend perfectly with dark roof coverings, creating a visually consistent and highly prestigious appearance. Investing in this series effectively eliminates concerns about sudden power drops at high temperatures, as the applied thermal optimization maintains stable energy production throughout the sunny day. Exceptional **resistance to potential-induced degradation (PID)** guarantees investors years of trouble-free operation, clearly setting these products apart from budget alternatives available on the market. This solution is primarily dedicated to owners of modern single-family homes who do not want to choose between elegant design and maximum energy yield per square meter. The solid construction translates into high **resistance to mechanical loads**, such as heavy snow accumulation or strong wind gusts. By choosing these modules, you can be sure that your system will maintain its peak operational parameters while significantly increasing the visual value of the entire property. ## Notable figures - At 21.1% efficiency, this panel is 0.8pp below the \*\*database\*\* median of 21.8% - At 207.4 W/m², this panel generates 10.7 W/m² less per unit area than \*\*database\*\* median (218.1 W/m²) - -0.36%/°C temperature coefficient - 0.06pp worse than \*\*database\*\* median (-0.30%/°C), expect higher hot weather losses - 21.5 kg weight - 5.0 kg lighter than \*\*database\*\* median (26.5 kg), reducing installation effort - In the top 69% for efficiency among all N-type panels ## Questions ### Do Luxor Solar Eco Line Half Cell Full Black panels match dark roof tiles? Yes, the Full Black series is specifically designed to blend with dark roofing materials. The black frame, black cells, and black backsheet create a uniform appearance that integrates seamlessly with slate, black ceramic tiles, or asphalt shingles. At 1722×1134 mm and 21.5 kg, the modules are well-suited for standard pitched-roof installations on residential buildings. ### How does half-cut cell technology help with partial roof shading? Half-cut cell technology splits each cell into two smaller units, shortening the current path and reducing power losses under partial shading. On roofs with chimneys, dormers, or nearby trees, this can translate into several additional percentage points of annual energy yield compared to conventional full-cell modules. The Eco Line Half Cell Full Black series handles these conditions significantly better than standard monocrystalline panels. ### What warranty does Luxor Solar offer on the Eco Line Half Cell Full Black series? Luxor Solar provides a 15-year product warranty covering material and manufacturing defects, plus a 25-year linear power output warranty. After 25 years of operation, the manufacturer guarantees at least 85% of nominal output power. For a 415 Wp module, that means a minimum of 353 W after a quarter century of use. ### Does the Luxor Solar Eco Line Full Black 415 Wp panel lose significant power during hot summer days? Like all crystalline silicon panels, output drops slightly above 25°C - the typical temperature coefficient is approximately -0.35%/°C. However, the thermal optimization and half-cut cell architecture in this series minimize those losses and maintain stable energy production throughout sunny summer days. Performance is noticeably better than conventional full-cell modules of the same rated power. ### Is the Luxor Eco Line Half Cell Full Black series PID-resistant? Yes, panels in this series carry certified resistance to Potential Induced Degradation (PID). This is especially important in higher-voltage DC systems (up to 1000 V), where other modules may gradually lose efficiency over time. PID resistance ensures long-term, trouble-free system operation and clearly sets this series apart from cheaper alternatives available on the market. ### Is the Luxor Solar Eco Line Half Cell Full Black a bifacial panel? No, the Eco Line Half Cell Full Black is not a bifacial module. It features an opaque black backsheet that absorbs rather than transmits light, so the panel generates power from the front side only. The Full Black design is a deliberate aesthetic choice - the uniform black surface delivers a premium rooftop appearance at the cost of the additional rear-side yield that bifacial technology would provide. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/lx-el-hc-bb-m108-395-415w-182-en-9138740d79f8.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [AIKO AIKO-455-MAH54Db](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-455-mah54db) | 455 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.2 pp | | [Longi Solar LR5-54HTH-455M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr5-54hth-455m) | 455 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.2 pp | | [Yingli YL455CF54 e/2](https://comparepv.com/panel/yingli-yl455cf54-e-2) | 455 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.2 pp | | [Einnova Solarline ESM-455T](https://comparepv.com/panel/einnova-solarline-esm-455t) | 455 W | +50 W, +2.2 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [SunEvo Solar SE5-54HBC-455W](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunevo-solar-se5-54hbc-455w) | 455 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.2 pp | | [Just Solar JST-EDMH-(445-465)W-TD (455W class)](https://comparepv.com/panel/just-solar-jst-edmh-445-465-w-td-455w-class) | 455 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.2 pp | | [Luxor Solar LX-455M/182R-96+ GG](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-lx-455m-182r-96-gg) | 455 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.2 pp | | [Luxor Solar LX-395M/182-108+](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-395m-182-108) | 395 W | -10 W, -0.5 pp | | [Luxor Solar LX-400M/182-108+](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-400m-182-108) | 400 W | -0.3 pp | | [Luxor Solar LX-410M/182-108+](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-410m-182-108) | 410 W | +0.2 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | +105 W, cooler, +3.9 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | +90 W, cooler, +3.8 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-505M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-505m) | 505 W | +100 W, cooler, +3.6 pp | | [WINAICO WST-505BKX54-A2](https://comparepv.com/panel/winaico-wst-505bkx54-a2) | 505 W | +100 W, cooler, +3.6 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A490-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a490-mce54mw) | 490 W | +85 W, cooler, +3.4 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-500m) | 500 W | +95 W, cooler, +3.4 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-lx-405m-182-108 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.
