The Premier Energies 144 Half Cut TOPCon Cell (Bifacial Transparent Backsheet) series is designed for maximum energy yield in installations where every square meter counts. The use of n-type TOPCon cells and the 144 half-cut configuration helps minimize losses and improves module performance under partial shading, which provides real stability in typical roof and PV farm conditions.

A key feature of this series is the bifacial design with a transparent backsheet - it allows for additional energy gain from reflected light from the ground, without the need for a heavier glass-glass solution. This is a good option for installations on bright roofs, flat roofs with membranes, and elevated ground-mounted systems, where the albedo works to the investor's advantage.

Compared to the competition, these modules combine high TOPCon technology efficiency with the practical, "design-oriented" flexibility of the transparent backsheet - for commercial, industrial, and utility investors who want to improve their energy balance without complicating installation and logistics.

What owners get
Efficiency on par with segment leaders

Peak efficiency of 22.83% matches top TOPCon competitors (AE Solar HORIZON CMD-144BDS at 22.86%, SunEvo SE5-72H and Luxen N5 both at 22.83%), placing the series in the top tier of available 144 half-cut bifacial modules.

Transparent backsheet instead of glass-glass

The bifacial design with a transparent backsheet (rather than dual-glass) captures additional albedo gain while keeping module weight lower (~28 kg per manufacturer datasheet) than typical glass-glass modules, easing transport and installation on roofs with limited load capacity.

N-type TOPCon cells, 10-busbar layout

N-type TOPCon cells combined with a 144 half-cut, 10-busbar architecture reduce resistive losses and improve partial-shading performance compared to older PERC/lower-busbar designs.

30-year linear power warranty

The 12-year product warranty and 30-year linear power warranty match the current market standard for tier-1 TOPCon modules, giving investors predictable long-term energy yield.

Established Tier-1 manufacturer

Premier Energies (India, founded 1995) is listed among BNEF Tier 1 manufacturers for 2026, improving project bankability and access to non-recourse debt financing.

Trade-offs
12-year product warranty - standard, not premium

The 12-year product warranty meets the current tier-1 market baseline for 2026, while some competitors (including certain Korean and Chinese premium TOPCon lines) already offer 15-year product warranties alongside the same 30-year power warranty.

Common questions

6 answered
What is the warranty on the Premier Energies 144 Half Cut TOPCon (Bifacial Transparent Backsheet) series?
This series comes with a 12-year product warranty and a 30-year linear power output warranty. At the end of 30 years, each module is guaranteed to retain at least 85.4% of its rated power. These are strong warranty terms for commercial and utility-scale investments, providing reliable, predictable energy yield over the full system lifetime.
What is the difference between a bifacial transparent backsheet module and a glass-glass bifacial module?
A transparent backsheet module weighs approximately 28 kg, significantly less than a glass-glass equivalent, making transport and rooftop installation considerably easier. It still captures reflected irradiance from the rear side, preserving the bifacial energy gain. However, the backsheet is less mechanically robust than rear glass, so glass-glass construction is preferable in highly aggressive environmental conditions.
How does the Premier Energies 144 HC TOPCon Bifacial series perform in high summer temperatures?
The series features a temperature coefficient of Pmax at -0.30%/°C, which outperforms typical PERC modules rated at -0.35%/°C. This translates to smaller power losses on hot days. N-type TOPCon cells also exhibit lower light-induced degradation (LID) compared to p-type technologies, resulting in more stable long-term output over the module's entire service life.
What is the maximum power output and efficiency of the modules in this series?
The top model in this series reaches 590 Wp, with module efficiency up to 22.83% at dimensions of 2,278 x 1,134 mm. This places it among leading n-type TOPCon modules currently on the market. Higher efficiency means more energy harvested from the same roof area or land footprint, a critical advantage wherever installation space is constrained in residential, commercial, or industrial projects.
Is the Premier Energies 144 HC TOPCon Bifacial series well suited for ground-mount systems with reflective surfaces?
Yes, ground-mount installations are one of its primary use cases. The bifacial transparent backsheet design captures reflected irradiance from below — light-colored gravel, white TPO membranes, or reflective ground cover can add several percentage points to annual energy yield compared to a monofacial module. With up to 590 Wp per module, it scales effectively for utility and C&I ground-mount projects where per-module output is a key performance driver.
What is the benefit of the 144 half-cut cell layout in these TOPCon modules, and does it help under partial shading?
Each module contains 144 half-cut, 182 mm cells in a 10-busbar configuration. Splitting cells in half reduces internal resistance and limits mismatch losses under partial shading conditions — when shade falls on part of the module, the unshaded half continues generating power independently. This results in higher real-world output on rooftops with chimneys or dormers and on ground-mount arrays where vegetation or obstacles cause intermittent shading.
