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. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 22.6% matches the \*\*TOPCon 550-600W\*\* median - At 226.5 W/m² power density, roof space requirements are typical for \*\*TOPCon 550-600W\*\* panels - At -0.30%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for \*\*TOPCon 550-600W\*\* panels - Weight of 28.0 kg (3.2 kg below \*\*TOPCon 550-600W\*\* median of 31.2 kg) allows easier transport and roof mounting - #3622 for efficiency, #6093 for temperature performance out of 14005 panels ## Questions ### 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. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/pe-144-hc-topcon-transparent-560-590w-3bc543311115.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-560M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-560m) | 560 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.2 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-555M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-555m) | 555 W | -30 W, cooler, +2.0 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A635-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a635-mae72mw) | 635 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.0 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A630-MAH72Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a630-mah72dw) | 630 W | +45 W, heavier, +1.8 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVHL-550M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvhl-550m) | 550 W | Cooler, lighter, +1.8 pp | | [Premier Energies PE 515HM](https://comparepv.com/panel/premier-energies-pe-515hm) | 515 W | -70 W, -2.7 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Premier Energies PE 520HM](https://comparepv.com/panel/premier-energies-pe-520hm) | 520 W | -65 W, -2.5 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Premier Energies PE 525HM](https://comparepv.com/panel/premier-energies-pe-525hm) | 525 W | -60 W, -2.3 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Premier Energies PE-525HB](https://comparepv.com/panel/premier-energies-pe-525hb) | 525 W | -60 W, hotter, -2.3 pp | | [Premier Energies PE 530HM](https://comparepv.com/panel/premier-energies-pe-530hm) | 530 W | -55 W, -2.1 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Premier Energies PE-530HG](https://comparepv.com/panel/premier-energies-pe-530hg) | 530 W | -55 W, heavier, -2.1 pp | | [Premier Energies PE 535HM](https://comparepv.com/panel/premier-energies-pe-535hm) | 535 W | -50 W, -1.9 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Premier Energies PE-535HG](https://comparepv.com/panel/premier-energies-pe-535hg) | 535 W | -50 W, heavier, -1.9 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A650-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a650-mae72mw) | 650 W | +65 W, cooler, +2.6 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A645-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a645-mae72mw) | 645 W | +60 W, cooler, +2.4 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A640-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a640-mae72mw) | 640 W | +55 W, cooler, +2.2 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/premier-energies-pe-585-tb-m10-1a Not in this file, on the page: the I-V and temperature curves lifted from the manufacturer's datasheet, a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
