This may limit bank financing availability for larger commercial projects, despite competitive technical parameters. - **Lower-power variant efficiency trails peers** - The lower end of the series' efficiency range (21.85% for the 430 Wp variant) falls below comparable peer offerings (MY Solar Half Cell 22.3%, AKCOME KOOKABURRA 22.54%), which should be factored in when selecting a specific power variant for a project. ## About this series Luxor Solar ECO LINE HJT GLASS-GLASS BIFACIAL series panels are an advanced solution for investors focusing on maximum efficiency and long-term installation durability. The use of **HJT heterojunction cells** allows for an effective combination of the advantages of crystalline and thin-film silicon, which drastically reduces energy losses during charge flow. Thanks to the **glass-glass** design, the modules exhibit extreme resistance to aggressive external factors and degradation caused by the passage of time, which directly translates into yield stability for decades. Bifacial technology enables additional absorption of light reflected from the ground, making these panels an ideal choice for installation on ground-mounted structures or flat roofs with a light membrane. Exceptionally low temperature coefficients ensure that the modules operate efficiently even on very hot days, eliminating the power drop problem typical of standard products. This series solves the problem of limited installation space by generating significantly more energy from the same surface area. This is a proposal for the most demanding residential and business users looking for **the highest mechanical resistance** and future-proof technology that outperforms PERC cells in terms of lifespan. It is an investment in **energy security** supported by rigorous quality control standards and an innovative approach to photovoltaics. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 21.9% matches the \*\*HJT 400-450W\*\* median - 215.2 W/m² power density is 6.4 W/m² below \*\*HJT 400-450W\*\* median (221.6 W/m²) - requires larger installation area - Temperature coefficient of -0.24%/°C matches the \*\*HJT 400-450W\*\* median - At 24.5 kg (1.5 kg above \*\*HJT 400-450W\*\* median of 23.0 kg), requires checking roof load capacity - Bifaciality factor of 88% can add 4-13% extra yield with reflective mounting surface ## Questions ### How do HJT cells in the Luxor Solar ECO LINE HJT GLASS-GLASS BIFACIAL series differ from standard PERC cells? HJT (heterojunction) cells stack a crystalline silicon layer with amorphous silicon, which eliminates recombination losses and delivers higher efficiency than PERC technology. The most practical difference is the temperature coefficient of Pmax at approximately -0.30%/°C, compared to -0.35% to -0.40%/°C for typical PERC modules. On a hot summer day this means an HJT panel generates several percent more energy than a PERC module with the same rated power output. ### Are the Luxor Solar ECO LINE HJT GLASS-GLASS BIFACIAL panels a good fit for ground-mount installations? Yes, the bifacial design of this series is ideally suited for ground-mount systems. The rear side of the module harvests light reflected from the ground surface (grass, white geomembrane, gravel), increasing real-world yield by up to 10–15% compared to a monofacial equivalent. The glass-glass construction protects against moisture, ammonia, and mechanical damage common in field environments, while bifaciality levels up to 95% maximize the albedo benefit. ### What warranty does the Luxor Solar ECO LINE HJT GLASS-GLASS BIFACIAL series carry and what does it cover? The series comes with a 30-year product warranty covering manufacturing defects and module integrity, plus a 30-year linear power output warranty guaranteeing that degradation stays within the defined schedule. For comparison, standard PERC modules typically offer 12–15 years of product warranty and 25 years on power output, making the warranty terms on this series significantly more favorable for long-term investors. ### Does a 700 Wp rating mean the Luxor Solar ECO LINE HJT GLASS-GLASS BIFACIAL is only suitable for large commercial projects? The top M132 format (132 cells, 210 mm wafer) modules rated up to 700 Wp are engineered primarily for utility-scale and large commercial PV plants. Their physical size and weight require purpose-built racking structures and string inverters with a wide MPPT input range. For typical residential rooftop installations, smaller variants within the same ECO LINE HJT family (e.g., the M108 430–440 Wp models) are a more practical choice. ### How does the ECO LINE HJT GLASS-GLASS BIFACIAL series perform in cold weather and on overcast days? HJT cells excel in low-light conditions thanks to low internal resistance and broad spectral sensitivity. In sub-25°C temperatures — common during Central European winters — module output actually exceeds its nameplate rating, because efficiency rises as temperature drops. The glass-glass construction also eliminates the risk of backsheet cracking in frost conditions, a known failure mode in older TPT-backsheet modules. ### Is Luxor Solar a Tier 1 manufacturer, and does that matter when buying the ECO LINE HJT GLASS-GLASS BIFACIAL series? Luxor Solar, headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, is not currently listed as a Tier 1 manufacturer by major PV rating agencies. For buyers, this primarily means that bank financing for a project may require additional supplier risk assessment. It is important to note that Tier 1 status reflects a manufacturer's bankability, not panel quality. Luxor Solar maintains European production and rigorous quality control standards, which is backed by the 30-year product warranty offered on this series. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/LX_EL_HJT_GG_BW_EST_M96_430-450W_182R_EN-206f90b6204a.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [AIKO AIKO-A480-MAH54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a480-mah54mw) | 480 W | +50 W, lighter, +2.2 pp | | [Gokin GK-5-54HG-480M](https://comparepv.com/panel/gokin-gk-5-54hg-480m) | 480 W | +50 W, lighter, +2.2 pp | | [Jinko Solar JKM480N-48QL6-DB-F2-EU](https://comparepv.com/panel/jinko-solar-jkm480n-48ql6-db-f2-eu) | 480 W | +50 W, hotter, +2.2 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA96N-PRO-480W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka96n-pro-480w) | 480 W | +50 W, hotter, +2.2 pp | | [Luxor Solar LX-435M/182R-96+ GG](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-435m-182r-96-gg) | 435 W | +0.2 pp | | [Luxor Solar LX-440M/182R-96+ GG](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-440m-182r-96-gg) | 440 W | +10 W, +0.5 pp | | [Luxor Solar LX-445M/182R-96+ GG](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-445m-182r-96-gg) | 445 W | +15 W, +0.8 pp | | [Luxor Solar LX-450M/182R-96+ GG](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-450m-182r-96-gg) | 450 W | +20 W, +1.0 pp | | [Luxor Solar LX-455M/182R-96+ GG](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-lx-455m-182r-96-gg) | 455 W | +25 W, hotter, +1.4 pp | | [Luxor Solar LX-455M/182R188-108+ GG](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-455m-182r188-108-gg) | 455 W | +25 W, hotter, +1.2 pp | | [Luxor Solar LX-460M/182R188-108+ GG](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-460m-182r188-108-gg) | 460 W | +30 W, hotter, +1.5 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | +80 W, lighter, +3.1 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | +65 W, lighter, +2.9 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-505M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-505m) | 505 W | +75 W, lighter, +2.8 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A490-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a490-mce54mw) | 490 W | +60 W, lighter, +2.6 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-500m) | 500 W | +70 W, lighter, +2.6 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-430m-182r-96-gg 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.
