For a typical pitched roof this means better use of available area than two of the three benchmarked competitors. - **Half-cell architecture cuts resistive losses** - Splitting monocrystalline cells in half reduces resistive losses and improves partial-shading behavior, resulting in more stable energy output during morning, afternoon, and diffuse-light conditions - a relevant advantage under typical Polish irradiance conditions. - **Full Black aesthetic for premium builds** - The uniform black frame and backsheet give a consistent visual finish on single-family home roofs, a strong selling point in the residential segment where aesthetics compete against classic white-backsheet, silver-frame modules. - **25-year linear power warranty** - The 25-year power warranty matches the current market standard for monocrystalline modules, giving investors a predictable degradation profile over the system's operating life. - **German manufacturer with 19 years on the market** - Luxor Solar has operated since 2007 and is headquartered in Germany, offering German-based warranty handling and a claimed very low complaint rate of around 0.0025% - relevant for installers valuing supplier stability when choosing a less recognized brand than tier-1 names. ## Cons - **Series production discontinued** - The series was manufactured from 2021 to 2023 and has since been phased out, meaning limited availability for expanding an existing installation and potential difficulties with long-term warranty servicing. - **No Tier-1 (BNEF) status** - Luxor Solar does not appear as a Tier-1 manufacturer under the BloombergNEF classification, which can complicate project financing for banks and investment funds requiring Tier-1 bankability, unlike, for instance, Meyer Burger. - **Product warranty limited to 15 years** - The 15-year manufacturing defect warranty is shorter than the 20-25 year product warranty increasingly common among leading manufacturers, reducing coverage during the second half of the module's 25-year operating life. ## About this series The Luxor Solar ECO LINE HALF CELL FULL BLACK M108 / 395-415 W series consists of compact, monocrystalline modules with a half-cell architecture, designed to maximize energy production in typical Polish conditions. Dividing the cells into halves reduces resistance losses and improves performance under partial shading - this ensures that the installation consistently produces power in the morning, afternoon, and in less sunny conditions. The **FULL BLACK** version provides a consistent, modern look for the roof, which is important for single-family homes and premium buildings where aesthetics are paramount. What sets it apart from the competition is its **highly refined design** - durable connections and components chosen for long-term operation, as well as a **rigid, corrosion-resistant frame** compatible with popular mounting systems. This series is ideal for investors who want to combine **high efficiency and good performance in low light** with easy installation on pitched and flat roofs, as well as in small commercial installations. ## Notable figures - At 20.5% efficiency, this panel is 1.3pp below the \*\*database\*\* median of 21.8% - Power density of 202.3 W/m² is 15.8 W/m² below \*\*database\*\* median (218.1 W/m²) - needs more roof space - Temperature coefficient of -0.36%/°C is 0.06pp worse than \*\*database\*\* median (-0.30%/°C) - higher losses in summer heat - At 21.5 kg, this panel is 5.0 kg lighter than \*\*database\*\* median (26.5 kg) - easier handling during installation - #11224 for efficiency, #12345 for temperature performance out of 14005 panels ## Questions ### What warranty does the Luxor Solar ECO LINE HALF CELL FULL BLACK M108 come with? Luxor Solar provides a 15-year product warranty and a 25-year linear power output warranty. After 25 years the module should retain at least 85% of its nominal power. With Luxor Solar headquartered in Germany, warranty claims benefit from the protection of European consumer and commercial regulations. ### What is half-cut cell technology and does it actually improve performance under partial shading? Half-cut technology splits each cell in two, reducing resistive losses and heat generation. In practice, the module handles partial shading — from a chimney, dormer, or antenna — more effectively because current from unshaded half-cells is not fully blocked. The M108 series uses 108 half-cut monocrystalline cells in the 182 mm format, resulting in more stable power output throughout the day. ### Are the Luxor ECO LINE FULL BLACK M108 395–415 W panels suitable for pitched roofs? Yes. The module dimensions are approximately 1722 × 1134 × 30 mm with a weight of about 21.5 kg, making it a practical choice for standard pitched residential roofs. The rigid, corrosion-resistant frame is compatible with common racking systems using aluminum rails and mid/end clamps. The FULL BLACK finish also delivers a clean, uniform aesthetic on the roof surface. ### How does the ECO LINE FULL BLACK M108 perform in low-irradiance conditions typical of Central Europe? Thanks to the half-cut architecture and high-efficiency monocrystalline cells reaching up to roughly 21.3% module efficiency, the series performs well in diffuse light common during spring and autumn in Poland and Central Europe. Reduced resistive losses translate to better energy yield during morning and late-afternoon hours when the angle of incidence is lower — a key advantage when sizing a system for real-world local irradiance. ### Why is the module labeled FULL BLACK and does it affect operating temperature? FULL BLACK means the cells, frame, and backsheet are all black, eliminating visible silver busbars for a seamless, premium roof appearance. The darker surface can marginally raise operating temperature on very sunny days, but modern monocrystalline cells have a low power temperature coefficient, so the difference in energy yield compared to standard modules is negligible under typical Central European conditions. ### Is the Luxor Solar ECO LINE HALF CELL FULL BLACK M108 series still available for purchase? The ECO LINE HALF CELL FULL BLACK M108 / 395–415 W series has been discontinued and is no longer actively distributed by Luxor Solar. Limited stock may still be available through select Polish or European distributors, but supply is not guaranteed. If you need a similar Full Black monocrystalline module, it is worth asking your distributor about a current replacement from Luxor Solar's lineup or an equivalent model from another manufacturer. ## 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 | | --- | --- | --- | | [Luxor Solar LX-440M/182-108+GG](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-440m-182-108-gg) | 440 W | Cooler, +2.5 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M360W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m360w) | 360 W | Lighter, +2.5 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M380W (1/4\*4\*38)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m380w-1-4-4-38) | 380 W | Lighter, +2.5 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M400W (1/2\*4\*20)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m400w-1-2-4-20) | 400 W | Lighter, +2.5 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M400W (1/4\*4\*40)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m400w-1-4-4-40) | 400 W | Lighter, +2.5 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M380W (1/2\*4\*19)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m380w-1-2-4-19) | 380 W | Lighter, +2.5 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Jetion JT440SYK(B)](https://comparepv.com/panel/jetion-jt440syk-b) | 440 W | Cooler, +2.4 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Luxor Solar LX-440M/182-108+](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-440m-182-108) | 440 W | +45 W, cooler, +2.3 pp | | [Luxor Solar LX-400M/182-108+](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-400m-182-108) | 400 W | +0.2 pp | | [Luxor Solar LX-405M/182-108+](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-405m-182-108) | 405 W | +10 W, +0.5 pp | | [Luxor Solar LX-410M/182-108+](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-410m-182-108) | 410 W | +15 W, +0.8 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | +115 W, cooler, +4.5 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | +100 W, cooler, +4.3 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-505M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-505m) | 505 W | +110 W, cooler, +4.2 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A490-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a490-mce54mw) | 490 W | +95 W, cooler, +4.0 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-500m) | 500 W | +105 W, cooler, +4.0 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-395m-182-108 Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
