The MY Solar Half Cell series redefines performance standards through the use of advanced half-cut cell technology. The use of half-cut cells allows for a significant reduction in energy losses resulting from internal resistance, which directly translates into higher yields from the installation even in less favorable weather conditions. These panels deal perfectly with the common problem of partial shading. Thanks to the physical division of the module into two independent sections, shading one part does not completely block energy production, which is crucial on roofs with complex geometry or near tall obstacles. Additionally, multi-busbar (MBB) technology effectively shortens the electron flow path, which not only increases efficiency but also minimizes the risk of micro-cracks in the silicon structure. This product stands out from the competition with its low temperature coefficient, which ensures that the modules maintain high efficiency even during extreme summer heat. This solution is dedicated to investors seeking high mechanical durability and financial stability for their project. The use of PERC technology supports better absorption of diffused light, allowing the system to generate real profits from early morning until dusk, providing a fast return on investment in both the residential sector and demanding commercial installations.

What owners get
Half-cut cells reduce resistive losses

Splitting cells in half lowers internal resistance losses and reduces hot-spot temperature by up to approx. 25°C compared to full-cell modules, resulting in higher and more stable energy yield.

Improved partial shading resilience

Physically dividing the module into two independent electrical sections means shading on one half does not fully halt production from the other, which is practically relevant on roofs with chimneys, dormers, or nearby obstructions.

Multi-busbar (MBB) technology

An increased number of busbars shortens the electron flow path, improving current-collection efficiency while also reducing the risk of silicon microcracks during transport and installation.

Low temperature coefficient

The panels maintain higher efficiency under high summer temperatures than modules with a standard temperature coefficient, which matters on dark roofs or in warmer climates.

Flexible power range 660-700 Wp

Five power variants within one series (660-700 Wp) at 21.1-22.3% efficiency allow matching the panel to a specific roof area without changing installation technology.

Trade-offs
Efficiency trails segment leaders

The series' peak efficiency is 22.3%, while comparable 700 W competitor modules (Luxor Solar HJT 22.74%, Sunket 22.5%, Mysolar USA TOPCon 22.53%) achieve higher values. This reflects the use of older PERC technology rather than N-type TOPCon/HJT.

No bifacial variant available

Unlike all three comparable series on the market (Luxor, Sunket, Mysolar USA), which offer bifacial modules, the Half Cell series is monofacial only, forgoing the additional rear-side energy gain from reflected light (typically 5-15% depending on ground albedo).

Manufacturer lacks Tier-1 (BNEF) status

MY Solar currently does not hold BNEF Tier-1 bankable manufacturer status, which may limit bank financing availability for larger commercial installations and affect investment insurance terms.

Notes from the database
  • At 22.3% efficiency, this panel is on par with typical database modules
  • Temperature coefficient of -0.35%/°C is 0.05pp worse than database median (-0.30%/°C) - higher losses in summer heat
  • In the top 36% for efficiency among all N-type panels

Common questions

6 answered
How does the half-cut cell technology in the MY Solar Half Cell series handle partial roof shading?
The module is physically divided into two independent electrical sections, so shading one half does not shut down energy production in the other. This is a key advantage on rooftops with chimneys, dormers, or nearby trees. In practice it delivers higher annual energy yield compared to conventional full-cell modules installed under the same shading conditions.
What power warranty does the MY Solar Half Cell series carry and what does it cover?
The manufacturer provides a 25-year linear power output warranty, guaranteeing that the panel maintains energy production in line with the declared degradation schedule throughout that period. This warranty secures the financial return of the investment and simplifies yield calculations. You should also verify the product warranty terms covering material defects in the documentation provided by your local distributor.
Does the MY Solar Half Cell series perform well during summer heat?
Yes. The series features a low temperature coefficient, allowing the panels to maintain high efficiency even during extreme heat. In typical monocrystalline modules, each degree Celsius above 25°C reduces output by roughly 0.3–0.4%. MY Solar Half Cell limits those losses, which is especially important for installations exposed to prolonged direct sunlight during summer months.
What are the benefits of the multi-busbar (MBB) and PERC technologies used in MY Solar Half Cell panels?
Multi-busbar technology shortens the electron travel path within each cell, increasing conversion efficiency and reducing the risk of microcracks during shipping and installation. PERC technology improves the absorption of diffuse light, so the module generates energy efficiently from early morning to dusk rather than only at peak irradiance. Together, both technologies deliver a higher annual energy yield from the same installation footprint.
What is the maximum power output of the MY Solar Half Cell panel and is it suitable for commercial installations?
The MY Solar Half Cell series reaches a peak output of up to 700 Wp, making it suitable for residential rooftop systems as well as demanding commercial projects. Higher per-module wattage means fewer panels are required to reach a target system size, which can reduce BoS costs including racking and wiring. Before purchasing, verify inverter compatibility regarding input voltage range and MPPT window.
Is MY Solar a Tier 1 manufacturer and how does that affect financing options for installations using these panels?
MY Solar is not currently listed as a Tier 1 manufacturer by independent financial agencies. Tier 1 status primarily relates to a manufacturer's ability to secure bankable financing for utility-scale PV projects and is not a direct indicator of technical panel quality. For residential and small commercial installations, the more relevant factors are technical specifications, warranty terms, and local distributor service availability.
