The Mysolar USA ALTRA N-Type TOPCon Bifacial (N108) series is designed for maximum energy yield in environments where standard modules struggle - on roofs with reflective surfaces, ground-mounted installations, and structures with increased durability requirements. Thanks to the N-Type TOPCon technology, the modules are better able to withstand degradation and maintain stable production over a longer period, which makes it easier to plan the profitability of the investment. The bifacial design allows for the use of light from both sides, increasing yield in diffuse light conditions and on bright surfaces. The use of dual-glass improves resistance to environmental factors and reduces the risk of problems associated with modules with rear-side films. Furthermore, the arrangement of cells in the half-cut version supports operation in partially shaded conditions and reduces internal losses. This is a good choice for PV farms, carports, commercial roofs, and installations where durability, predictability, and additional yield are important, without complicating the project.

What owners get
N-Type TOPCon technology

N-type TOPCon cells exhibit lower LID/LeTID degradation and better high-temperature performance than older PERC cells, translating into more stable annual energy yield over the full 30-year service life.

Bifacial with dual glass

The bifacial dual-glass construction captures light reflected off the surrounding surface (light-colored roofs, gravel, snow), boosting energy yield, while also eliminating the backsheet delamination risk typical of glass-backsheet modules.

Half-cut - shading tolerance

The half-cut cell layout reduces losses under partial shading (leaves, chimneys, adjacent rows) and lowers internal resistance compared to full-size cells.

Extended 25/30-year warranty

The 25-year product warranty and 30-year linear power warranty exceed the market-standard 25/25 years, a meaningful factor in LCOE calculations for utility-scale and commercial installations.

Efficiency competitive within segment

Peak efficiency of 22.73% places the series above JA Solar JAM54D40 (22.5%) and Lina Energy LEPV 132 Ultra Premium (22.37%), approaching segment leader Luxor Solar Eco Line N-Type (22.86%) at the same 440 Wp max power.

Trade-offs
Wide efficiency spread across series

The lower bound of the efficiency range (21.7%) is notably below all three peer comparables (22.37-22.86%), meaning the weaker variants within the 5-variant N108 lineup meaningfully lag competitors - it is important to verify which specific variant is quoted.

No confirmed BNEF Tier 1 status

Mysolar USA states it aims to achieve BNEF Tier 1 status, but is not currently listed as a recognized Tier 1 manufacturer - unlike peer comparable JA Solar, an established Tier 1 supplier. This may complicate bank financing for large-scale projects.

'USA' branding with China-registered HQ

The manufacturer operates under the Mysolar USA brand, yet corporate HQ is registered in China (founded 2010), requiring extra verification for Domestic Content eligibility under U.S. IRA tax incentives on projects sourcing this equipment.

Common questions

6 answered
What warranty does the Mysolar USA ALTRA N-Type TOPCon Bifacial N108 come with?
The ALTRA N108 series carries a 25-year product warranty covering materials and workmanship, plus a 30-year linear power output warranty — among the longer commitments available on the market. After 30 years, the manufacturer guarantees at least 87% of rated power, which is a meaningful input when calculating the long-term LCOE of a solar project.
Do the Mysolar USA ALTRA N108 panels lose significant power output during hot summer conditions?
N-Type TOPCon technology features a low temperature coefficient of approximately -0.29%/°C (Pmax). When cell temperature rises to 60°C, the ALTRA N108 loses proportionally less power than a typical P-Type PERC module rated at around -0.34%/°C. During peak summer heat, this translates into measurably higher energy yield compared to legacy technologies under identical installation conditions.
How much additional energy can I expect from the bifacial design of the ALTRA N108 panels?
The bifacial construction of the ALTRA N108 can deliver 5–15% additional energy from the rear side, depending on ground albedo and tilt angle. The highest bifacial gains are achieved on ground-mounted systems over light-colored gravel or concrete, carports, and flat roofs with white membranes. On a typical gray surface, a realistic bifacial gain is approximately 7–10%.
How does N-Type TOPCon technology in the ALTRA N108 series differ from standard PERC cells?
N-Type TOPCon cells are manufactured on an n-type silicon substrate, which drastically reduces light-induced degradation (LID). The ultra-thin tunnel oxide passivation contact layer minimizes carrier recombination losses and raises conversion efficiency. In practice, this results in a higher rated output of 440 Wp, more stable long-term production, and lower first-year degradation compared to PERC technology.
Is the double-glass ALTRA N108 suitable for a pitched roof — are the panels too heavy?
Glass-glass modules in the ALTRA N108 series are slightly heavier than foil-backed panels, so it is worth verifying roof load capacity before installation on older buildings. The double-glass design does not exclude pitched roofs — it provides superior resistance to moisture, ammonia, and UV compared to EVA backsheets, and the 108-cell half-cut layout minimizes shading losses from chimneys or skylights.
Is the Mysolar USA ALTRA N-Type TOPCon Bifacial N108 series still available for purchase?
Yes, the ALTRA N108 series remains active in the product lineup and is available through authorized distributors. Modules rated up to 440 Wp with N-Type TOPCon technology and a bifacial glass-glass construction are in current production. For specific wattage variants or delivery timeframes, confirming stock levels directly with your distributor is recommended.
