A key feature of this line is its **hermetic glass-glass construction**, which eliminates the risk of moisture penetrating the cells and drastically reduces the PID degradation phenomenon. Thanks to the use of **bifacial technology**, the modules effectively utilize light reflected from the ground, which, combined with innovative **N-Type TOPCon cells**, ensures significantly higher energy yields than in the case of traditional single-sided panels. This is a solution dedicated to the most demanding residential projects and photovoltaic farms, where shortening the investment payback period while maintaining full fire safety is key. These models stand out from the competition with **extreme resistance to mechanical loads** and corrosive factors such as ammonia or sea salt. Choosing this series is an investment in stability and a technological advantage that guarantees the maintenance of high efficiency for decades while minimizing system maintenance costs. It is the ideal choice for anyone who does not compromise on quality and seeks premium solutions capable of trouble-free operation in the most challenging outdoor environments. ## Notable figures - At 20.7% efficiency, this panel is 1.1pp 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) - At -0.28%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for \*\*database\*\* panels - Weight of 37.0 kg is 10.5 kg above \*\*database\*\* median (26.5 kg) - verify structural support - Bifaciality factor of 75% can add 4-11% extra yield with reflective mounting surface ## Questions ### What warranty does Luxor Solar offer on the ECO LINE SECURE GLASS-GLASS BIFACIAL M108 series? The ECO LINE SECURE GLASS-GLASS BIFACIAL M108 series comes with a 30-year product warranty and a 30-year linear power output warranty. Luxor Solar guarantees at least 89% of nominal rated power after 30 years of operation. This is among the longest warranties on the market and is a key factor when calculating ROI for long-horizon solar projects. ### What advantages does the glass-glass construction of the ECO LINE SECURE M108 provide compared to standard glass-backsheet modules? Unlike conventional glass-backsheet modules, the dual-glass laminate completely eliminates moisture ingress into the cells, drastically reducing PID degradation and delamination risk. The module meets ammonia and salt mist resistance standards, making it suitable for coastal installations, agricultural environments, and industrial zones. Users can expect a lower annual degradation rate throughout the entire 30-year warranty period. ### How much additional energy does the bifacial design of the ECO LINE SECURE M108 generate compared to a monofacial panel? Bifacial technology allows the module's rear side to absorb albedo light reflected from the ground surface. Depending on the substrate type and mounting angle, the additional energy yield is typically between 5% and over 20% compared to an equivalent monofacial module. Best results are achieved over light-colored surfaces such as gravel, light concrete, or snow, with adequate ground clearance - conditions most common in ground-mounted utility-scale PV systems. ### Are the Luxor Solar ECO LINE SECURE GLASS-GLASS BIFACIAL M108 panels suitable for ground-mounted utility-scale PV farms? Yes, the ECO LINE SECURE M108 series is specifically designed for such projects. The glass-glass construction provides extreme resistance to mechanical loads from wind and snow, while N-Type TOPCon cells minimize losses at elevated operating temperatures. Bifacial design maximizes yield in typical ground-mount configurations with sufficient rear-side clearance. At up to 415 Wp, the modules also reduce the total module count required per MW of installed capacity. ### How does N-Type TOPCon cell technology in the ECO LINE SECURE M108 differ from standard PERC cells, and what does it mean for the system owner? N-Type TOPCon cells offer higher conversion efficiency and a lower temperature coefficient than legacy PERC cells. This means the module loses less power output during hot summer days, translating into real additional kWh during peak production periods. N-Type technology is also inherently more resistant to LID (Light Induced Degradation), so power loss in the first months of operation is minimal compared to conventional PERC modules. ### Is Luxor Solar a reliable manufacturer, and where is the company headquartered? Luxor Solar is a German company headquartered in Stuttgart, active in the photovoltaic industry since 2007. While not listed on the Bloomberg NEF Tier 1 bankability index, the brand has a well-established reputation across Europe and backs its products with strict 30-year product and linear performance warranties. Panels are available through authorized distributors and carry the required IEC certifications and fire safety standards. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/LX_EL_SEC_GG_BiF_BT_M108_395-415W_182_DIN18008_EN-068f5dd181e9.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [AIKO AIKO-455-MAH54Db](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-455-mah54db) | 455 W | +50 W, lighter, +2.6 pp | | [Longi Solar LR5-54HTH-455M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr5-54hth-455m) | 455 W | +50 W, 16 kg lighter, +2.6 pp | | [Yingli YL455CF54 e/2](https://comparepv.com/panel/yingli-yl455cf54-e-2) | 455 W | +50 W, 17 kg lighter, +2.6 pp | | [Einnova Solarline ESM-455T](https://comparepv.com/panel/einnova-solarline-esm-455t) | 455 W | +50 W, 16 kg lighter, +2.6 pp | | [SunEvo Solar SE5-54HBC-455W](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunevo-solar-se5-54hbc-455w) | 455 W | +50 W, 16 kg lighter, +2.6 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, 16 kg lighter, +2.6 pp | | [Luxor Solar LX-455M/182R-96+ GG](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-lx-455m-182r-96-gg) | 455 W | +50 W, lighter, +2.6 pp | | [Luxor Solar LX-395M/182-108+](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-395m-182-108) | 395 W | Hotter, 16 kg lighter, -5 yr warranty | | [Luxor Solar LX-400M/182-108+](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-400m-182-108) | 400 W | Hotter, 16 kg lighter, -5 yr warranty | | [Luxor Solar LX-410M/182-108+](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-410m-182-108) | 410 W | Hotter, 16 kg lighter, -5 yr warranty | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | +105 W, lighter, +4.3 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | +90 W, 16 kg lighter, +4.1 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-505M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-505m) | 505 W | +100 W, lighter, +4.0 pp | | [WINAICO WST-505BKX54-A2](https://comparepv.com/panel/winaico-wst-505bkx54-a2) | 505 W | +100 W, lighter, +4.0 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A490-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a490-mce54mw) | 490 W | +85 W, 16 kg lighter, +3.8 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-500m) | 500 W | +95 W, lighter, +3.8 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-405m-182-108-gg-bif Not in this file, on the page: the I-V and temperature curves lifted from the manufacturer's datasheet, a thirty-year output simulator, a bifacial gain calculator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
