Luxor provides a 30-year product warranty and a 30-year linear power output warranty on the ECO LINE N-TYPE TOPCon Glass-Glass BIF M108 series. After 30 years the module must retain at least 89% of its rated power. This is one of the longest warranty standards available in the European market and reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the glass-glass structural durability. ### Is the Luxor ECO LINE N-TYPE TOPCon BIF M108 a good fit for agricultural and agrivoltaic installations? Yes, the ECO LINE N-TYPE TOPCon Glass-Glass BIF M108 series is specifically recommended for agrivoltaic projects. The glass-glass construction resists ammonia vapors and fertilizer exposure common on farmland. Bifacial cell architecture captures ground-reflected irradiance from soil or vegetation, increasing energy yield without additional footprint. High mechanical load ratings (up to 5400 Pa snow load) and hail resistance add further reliability under variable Central European weather conditions. ### What is the peak power of the Luxor ECO LINE N-TYPE TOPCon Glass-Glass BIF M108 and what does it mean in practice? The module's peak power is 510 Wp under STC conditions. In practical terms, a 10 kWp system requires only 20 panels instead of 25 with older 400 W modules. The M108 format (108 half-cut cells) combines compact dimensions with high output power, reducing the number of mounting brackets needed and simplifying DC string wiring. ### How does TOPCon technology in the Luxor ECO LINE BIF M108 series differ from standard PERC panels? N-Type TOPCon cells feature an ultra-thin tunnel oxide passivation layer on the rear side that significantly reduces carrier recombination. This results in higher module efficiency and a better temperature coefficient (approximately -0.25%/°C vs. -0.35%/°C for PERC). N-type doping also makes the cells virtually immune to light-induced degradation (LID), delivering more stable energy output over the full system lifetime. ### Does the Luxor ECO LINE N-TYPE TOPCon Glass-Glass BIF M108 perform well on cloudy days and during heat waves? Yes. N-Type TOPCon technology delivers superior low-light performance compared to PERC, which is particularly valuable under the often overcast conditions in Central Europe. The low temperature coefficient (-0.25%/°C) means the module loses less power on hot days - for example at a cell temperature of 45°C power loss is noticeably smaller than with PERC equivalents. An anti-reflective front glass coating further improves diffuse irradiance absorption. ### Does the bifacial design of the Luxor ECO LINE N-TYPE TOPCon BIF M108 actually increase energy production, and under what conditions? Bifacial energy generation provides measurable gains primarily in ground-mounted systems and on rooftops with high-albedo surfaces such as white TPO membranes, where the albedo factor reaches 0.3-0.6. On typical grass-covered ground, annual production gains of 5-15% over a monofacial equivalent can be expected. On darker substrates the bifacial gain is smaller, but the glass-glass construction still improves mechanical durability and resistance to potential-induced degradation (PID). ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/LX_EL_N-Type_TOPCon_GG_BIF_BW_M108_490-510W_182R_EN-623443112efa.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.7 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.5 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-505M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-505m) | 505 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.4 pp | | [WINAICO WST-505BKX54-A2](https://comparepv.com/panel/winaico-wst-505bkx54-a2) | 505 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.4 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A490-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a490-mce54mw) | 490 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.2 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-500m) | 500 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.2 pp | | [Talesun CIPRO-TN9C54M-500W](https://comparepv.com/panel/talesun-cipro-tn9c54m-500w) | 500 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.2 pp | | [Luxor Solar LX-495M/182R-108+ GG](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-495m-182r-108-gg) | 495 W | +0.2 pp | | [Luxor Solar LX-500M/182R-108+ GG](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-500m-182r-108-gg) | 500 W | +10 W, +0.4 pp | | [Luxor Solar LX-505M/182R-108+ GG](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-505m-182r-108-gg) | 505 W | +15 W, +0.7 pp | | [Luxor Solar LX-510M/182R-108+ GG](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-510m-182r-108-gg) | 510 W | +20 W, +0.9 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-560M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-560m) | 560 W | +70 W, cooler, +2.5 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-555M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-555m) | 555 W | +65 W, cooler, +2.3 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVHL-550M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvhl-550m) | 550 W | +60 W, lighter, +2.1 pp | | [JA Solar JAT60S40-540/LR](https://comparepv.com/panel/ja-solar-jat60s40-540-lr) | 540 W | +50 W, lighter, +2.1 pp | | [Gokin GK-5-60HG-540M](https://comparepv.com/panel/gokin-gk-5-60hg-540m) | 540 W | +50 W, lighter, +2.1 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-490m-182r-108-gg Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator, a bifacial gain calculator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
