The Luxor Solar ECO LINE N-TYPE (Full Black) M108 410-430W series is designed to maximize energy production on a roof without compromising aesthetics. These are Full Black modules that seamlessly blend with modern architecture, while also utilizing N-type TOPCon technology - valued for their very low degradation and stable performance over a longer period. The glass-glass construction enhances resistance to weather and micro-cracks, effectively reducing the risk of energy production losses in subsequent years. Another advantage is bifacial operation, which allows the module to utilize reflected light from bright surfaces, increasing energy yield where standard panels lose potential. The M108 series is suitable for premium home installations, roofs with limited surface area, and projects where durability, safety, and a consistent appearance are key.

What owners get
High-efficiency N-type TOPCon

Efficiency of 21.33-22.35% places the series at the top of the segment - above the Silfab Elite (21.9%) and clearly above the Boviet Gamma (19.8%), close to the EGing STAR Pro (22.02%). N-type TOPCon technology delivers lower LID/LeTID degradation than older PERC cells.

Glass-glass construction

A double-glass design instead of a rear backsheet increases resistance to moisture, microcracks, and mechanical loads (snow, hail), meaningfully reducing the risk of power degradation over the module's service life.

Full Black aesthetics

The black frame and black backsheet (Full Black) blend discreetly with pitched-roof architecture, making the series an attractive choice in the premium residential segment where facade appearance matters.

Compact M108 half-cut format

108 half-cut cells on an area under 2 m2 deliver relatively high power (up to 430 Wp) on limited roof space, which is valuable for retrofits on smaller roof sections.

25-year power warranty

The 25-year linear power warranty aligns with premium N-type segment standards and gives investors predictable energy yield over the typical PV system payback period.

Trade-offs
Discontinued production

The series was manufactured between 2023 and 2024 and has already been phased out of the manufacturer's lineup. This means limited availability of replacement modules and potential difficulty with warranty servicing in future years, despite the warranty formally remaining in effect.

No Tier 1 (BNEF) status

Luxor Solar does not appear on the BloombergNEF Tier 1 manufacturer list (as of 2024), unlike some premium-segment competitors (e.g., Silfab). This can complicate bank financing or insurance for installations requiring bankable modules.

Product warranty below current standard

The 15-year product warranty is shorter than many current N-type TOPCon modules on the market, where 25-30 years of product warranty is becoming the new premium standard (including newer variants within Luxor's own Eco Line).

About the ECO LINE N-TYPE (Full Black) M108 / 410–430W series

6 answered

These answers cover the whole series. Where a figure differs, the specification above is this module's own.

Is the Luxor Solar ECO LINE N-TYPE Full Black M108 series still available for purchase?
The ECO LINE N-TYPE Full Black M108 (410-430W) series has been discontinued by Luxor Solar and is no longer actively distributed. You may still find units in select distributor warehouses, but availability is severely limited. If you need similar specs, check with your supplier for current stock or consider a newer module series from Luxor Solar's current lineup.
What is the maximum power output of the Luxor ECO LINE N-TYPE Full Black M108 panel and what cell configuration does it use?
The top variant in this series delivers 430 Wp of peak power. The module is built with 108 monocrystalline N-type cells in the 182 mm (M10) format, arranged in a half-cut configuration. This layout minimizes the impact of partial shading, improves current matching between cell strings, and maintains the Full Black aesthetic with no visible metallic elements.
What is N-type TOPCon technology used in the Luxor ECO LINE M108 series and why is it better than PERC?
N-type TOPCon cells exhibit a lower annual degradation rate than standard PERC cells - typically below 0.4% per year versus roughly 0.55% for PERC. After 25 years, the panel retains a higher percentage of its nameplate power. N-type cells also carry a lower temperature coefficient of Pmax, delivering better energy yield on hot, sunny days. This makes TOPCon the preferred technology for long-term residential and commercial installations.
What are the warranty terms for the Luxor Solar ECO LINE N-TYPE Full Black M108 series?
Luxor Solar provides a 15-year product warranty covering material and workmanship defects, plus a 25-year linear power output warranty. The linear structure means guaranteed minimum efficiency without steep drop-off thresholds - power degradation is capped gradually over the full 25-year period. Luxor Solar is a German-headquartered PV module manufacturer with operations dating back to 2007.
Why does the Luxor ECO LINE N-TYPE Full Black M108 use a glass-glass construction, and how does it affect module weight?
The glass-glass construction replaces the conventional polymer backsheet with a second 2 mm sheet of tempered glass, significantly improving resistance to micro-cracks, moisture ingress, and UV-induced degradation. This reduces the risk of power output loss over the module's lifetime. The trade-off is increased weight - approximately 24 kg - which must be accounted for when assessing rooftop load capacity and selecting the mounting system.
Are the Luxor ECO LINE N-TYPE Full Black M108 panels a good fit for space-constrained rooftops, and how do they look on dark roofing?
Yes, up to 430 Wp in a 108-cell half-cut format maximizes energy production per available square meter, making this series a strong choice for limited roof space. The Full Black design - black frame, black cells, and black rear surface - integrates seamlessly with dark roof tiles or shingles, preserving the building's visual appearance without visible contrasting elements.
