**N-type TOPCon cells** - N-type TOPCon cells deliver lower LID/LeTID degradation and better high-temperature performance than legacy PERC cells, reaching up to 22.65% efficiency - on par with top-tier comparables (Hanersun Hitouch 5N, Risen RSM144-9). - **Double-glass bifacial design** - The double-glass construction improves resistance to moisture and micro-cracks, while the bifacial module captures light reflected off the ground, boosting energy yield in ground-mount farms and flat roofs with light-colored surfaces, lowering BoS cost per Wp. - **30-year linear power warranty** - The manufacturer guarantees at least 87.4% of nameplate power after 30 years, backed by a 15-year product warranty - terms consistent with the official datasheet and on par with reputable Tier-1 offerings. - **Enhanced environmental durability** - The series features improved PID resistance and reduced hot-spot losses, and per manufacturer materials also higher resistance to ammonia, salt mist, sand, and dust exposure - relevant for agricultural, coastal, and industrial installations. - **Power range matches segment leaders** - The 565-585 Wp power range aligns exactly with top competitors (Hanersun Hitouch 5N HN18-72H, Risen RSM144-9-560-585BNDG), simplifying module substitution in projects with standardized layouts. ## Cons - **No BNEF Tier 1 status** - Q-SUN Solar does not appear on BloombergNEF's Tier 1 bankable manufacturer list, which may limit bank financing availability for large-scale ground-mount projects compared to peer comparables like Risen. - **Limited manufacturer track record** - The company was founded in 2014 and has a shorter operating history than established Tier-1 players, raising questions about long-term service continuity and warranty honoring given the 30-year power warranty. - **Lower efficiency bound trails peers** - The series' minimum efficiency is 22.1%, while comparable Hanersun and Risen modules start at 22.6%, so lower-power variants (565 Wp) may lag competitors on per-m² yield. ## About this series The Q-SUN Solar Qrystal N8 (N-type, 565-585W) series is designed to maximize energy yield in installations where every square meter counts. The use of **N-type solar cells in TOPCon technology** supports high efficiency and stable performance over time, while **double-glass construction** enhances resistance to moisture, microcracks, and harsh environmental conditions. This makes it a good choice in areas where competing modules degrade faster - particularly in open areas, near industrial sites, or in environments with high dust levels. Thanks to the **bifacial module**, Qrystal N8 can utilize reflected light from the ground, which significantly increases energy production in PV farms, carport structures, and flat-roof installations with reflective coverings. In practice, this means **lower BOS (Balance of System) costs** and easier budget closure without compromising quality. The series also features **enhanced resistance to PID (Potential Induced Degradation) and reduced hot-spot losses**, which facilitates predictable energy yields over the long term. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 22.1% matches the \*\*N-type 550-600W\*\* median - 218.7 W/m² power density is 5.8 W/m² below \*\*N-type 550-600W\*\* median (224.5 W/m²) - requires larger installation area - At -0.29%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for \*\*N-type 550-600W\*\* panels - At 31.2 kg (1.7 kg above \*\*N-type 550-600W\*\* median of 29.5 kg), requires checking roof load capacity - Bifacial design (75% factor) captures reflected light - adds 4-11% yield on ground-mount or white roof ## Questions ### What warranty does the Q-SUN Solar Qrystal N8 come with, and what does a 30-year power warranty actually mean? The manufacturer provides a 15-year product warranty covering material and workmanship defects, plus a 30-year linear power warranty guaranteeing at least 87.4% of rated power output after 30 years. The N-type TOPCon cell technology exhibits lower annual degradation than conventional P-type PERC modules, making this warranty a realistic commitment rather than a marketing statement. ### What does it mean that the Qrystal N8 is bifacial, and how much extra energy can it produce? A bifacial module captures light from both the front and rear surfaces, harvesting energy from ground or rooftop albedo reflection. On utility-scale PV farms with a light-colored ground surface or in carport installations, the bifacial gain typically ranges from a few percent up to 25% additional annual yield. On a dark pitched roof the rear-side contribution is minimal, so the Qrystal N8 delivers its full potential primarily in ground-mount and flat-roof applications with a reflective surface. ### What is the efficiency of the Q-SUN Solar Qrystal N8, and how does it compare to competing modules? Depending on the power variant (565–585 W), module efficiency ranges from 21.9% to 22.6%. This is significantly above the market average for mass-produced panels — standard PERC modules typically achieve 20–21%. Higher efficiency translates directly into fewer modules and less roof or ground area required to reach the same system output, lowering BoS costs on constrained sites. ### How much does the Q-SUN Solar Qrystal N8 weigh, and does it require a reinforced mounting structure? The Qrystal N8 (565–585 W) weighs approximately 31.2 kg and measures 2278 × 1134 × 30 mm. The double-glass construction is heavier than conventional backsheet modules, so a structural assessment is recommended for older rooftops before installation. For ground-mount arrays and carports the additional load is generally not an issue, and the dual-glass design significantly extends the module's service life. ### Are the Q-SUN Solar Qrystal N8 panels suitable for harsh environments — heavy dust, humidity, or extreme temperatures? Yes. The double-glass construction eliminates the backsheet, which is susceptible to delamination and moisture ingress — a key advantage in dusty environments or near industrial sites. N-type TOPCon technology provides enhanced PID (Potential Induced Degradation) resistance. The low temperature coefficient of -0.29%/°C means smaller power losses during peak summer heat compared to typical PERC modules rated at -0.34 to -0.37%/°C. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/n-type-qrystal-mono-crystalline-qnht-6-565-585w-0-08-ad0100ed1795.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-560M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-560m) | 560 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.7 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-555M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-555m) | 555 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.5 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVHL-550M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvhl-550m) | 550 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.3 pp | | [JA Solar JAT60S40-540/LR](https://comparepv.com/panel/ja-solar-jat60s40-540-lr) | 540 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.3 pp | | [Gokin GK-5-60HG-540M](https://comparepv.com/panel/gokin-gk-5-60hg-540m) | 540 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.3 pp | | [Jinko Solar JKM545-54QL6-DV-F1-EU](https://comparepv.com/panel/jinko-solar-jkm545-54ql6-dv-f1-eu) | 545 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.2 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-545M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-545m) | 545 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.1 pp | | [Q-SUN Solar QNM182-HG530-72](https://comparepv.com/panel/qn-solar-pv-limited-qnm182-hg530-72) | 530 W | -35 W, hotter, -1.6 pp | | [Q-SUN Solar QNM182-HS535-72](https://comparepv.com/panel/q-solar-limited-qnsolar-qnm182-hs535-72) | 535 W | Hotter, -1.4 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Q-SUN Solar QNM182-HS540-72](https://comparepv.com/panel/q-solar-limited-qnsolar-qnm182-hs540-72) | 540 W | Hotter, -1.2 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Q-SUN Solar QN-540HT](https://comparepv.com/panel/q-sun-solar-qn-540ht) | 540 W | Hotter, lighter, -1.3 pp | | [Q-SUN Solar QNM182-HS545-72](https://comparepv.com/panel/q-solar-limited-qnsolar-qnm182-hs545-72) | 545 W | Hotter, -1.0 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Q-SUN Solar QN-545HT](https://comparepv.com/panel/q-sun-solar-qn-545ht) | 545 W | Hotter, lighter, -1.0 pp | | [Q-SUN Solar QNM182-HS550-72](https://comparepv.com/panel/q-solar-limited-qnsolar-qnm182-hs550-72) | 550 W | Hotter, -0.8 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [AIKO AIKO-A650-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a650-mae72mw) | 650 W | +85 W, lighter, +3.1 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A645-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a645-mae72mw) | 645 W | +80 W, lighter, +2.9 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/q-sun-solar-qn-565ht-6 Not in this file, on the page: the I-V and temperature curves lifted from the manufacturer's datasheet, a thirty-year output simulator, a bifacial gain calculator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
