Strong in heat, no clear weak spot
The Recom Lynx series consists of modules based on N-type cells in TOPCon technology, designed for high energy production and stable operation over many years. This translates to better performance in real-world conditions, especially when the installation heats up in summer or operates in full sunlight for extended periods. A key advantage of this series is minimal susceptibility to LID degradation and limited LeTID risk, which helps maintain predictable results and protect the investment's profitability.
Bifacial modules utilize light from both the front and back sides, and the glass-glass construction increases resistance to weather and mechanical stresses. An additional advantage is quality control through electroluminescence testing, which supports the detection of microcracks during production.
Recom Lynx is suitable for both commercial and industrial installations, as well as larger ground-mounted projects, wherever long-term reliability, low energy costs, and maximum utilization of available space are important.
Ranking
Signals from the data
Commercial, utility-scale and hot-climate.
Top 4% of the TOPCon 400-450 W segment, against a median of -0.290. Ranked 1,309th in the whole database.
Top 12% of the TOPCon 400-450 W segment, against a median of 51.4.
N-type cells reduce LID degradation and LeTID risk, resulting in more predictable energy yield over the module's lifetime, particularly in installations exposed to high temperatures during summer months.
Recom Lynx offers 30 years of both product and power warranty - longer than the industry-standard 25-year power warranty offered by most manufacturers in this segment, including some peer comparables.
Peak efficiency of 23.52% exceeds comparable modules such as Tongwei 72HD (23.2%) and Astronergy ASTRO N5 (23.2%), and clearly outperforms Talesun BISTAR TP7F78M (21.5%), enabling better use of available roof or ground space.
The glass-glass variant increases mechanical and weathering resistance compared to standard glass-backsheet laminates, which matters in ground-mount projects with high snow or wind loads.
Electroluminescence testing detects cell microcracks before shipment, reducing the risk of premature hot-spot failures in the field.
Recom achieved BloombergNEF Tier-1 status in 4Q 2019, but per the provided context is not currently listed as tier_1_bankable. This may complicate non-recourse project financing with some banks compared to consistently Tier-1-listed manufacturers like Tongwei.
The series described in the context is monofacial (is_bifacial: false), while comparable peer modules such as Tongwei 72HD580-600W and Astronergy ASTRO N5 are offered in bifacial versions that generate an additional 5-15% rear-side yield.
- At 22.3% efficiency, this panel is on par with typical TOPCon 400-450W modules
- At 222.7 W/m² power density, roof space requirements are typical for TOPCon 400-450W panels
- Temperature coefficient of -0.28%/°C matches the TOPCon 400-450W median
- Weight of 21.0 kg is typical for TOPCon 400-450W panels
- 80% bifaciality enables rear-side power generation, boosting yield by 4-12% on reflective surfaces

Datasheet charts
Measured curves published by Recom in this model's datasheet. A chart carrying a wattage was measured on that variant alone - only the ones that describe 445 Wp appear here. The rest cover the whole series.
Simulations
Degradation from this panel's own datasheet figures. No inverter, soiling or shading losses.
Model: bifaciality × albedo × 0.6 view factor. A first-order estimate, not a yield simulation.
