This may raise bankability concerns for projects financed around this series. - **No bifacial variant available** - The series is monofacial only, while a direct competitor at the same peak power (Heliene 144HC M10 NTYP SL, 595 Wp) offers a bifacial variant, providing potential additional rear-side yield in ground-mount installations or on high-albedo surfaces. ## About this series The Renesola RS6-570~595N-E3 series are monofacial modules based on **N-type cells in TOPCon technology**, designed for high energy production under real-world operating conditions. The use of modern cell architecture helps minimize typical power losses, which translates into more stable yields over the long term - especially in installations operating in varying temperatures and with intermittent shading. Compared to many competing solutions, it stands out due to **extended linear warranty** and a focus on long-term parameter predictability, which is important for calculating investment returns. The module's design also supports **high resistance to environmental conditions**, making it suitable for installations exposed to moisture, dust, and heavy use. It is a good choice for companies and investors implementing installations on industrial rooftops, in agricultural settings, and in ground-mounted projects, where **maximizing production from limited space** and ensuring parameter stability over the long term are key. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 22.4% matches the \*\*N-type 550-600W\*\* median - Power density of 224.5 W/m² matches the \*\*N-type 550-600W\*\* median - Temperature coefficient of -0.29%/°C matches the \*\*N-type 550-600W\*\* median - Weight of 27.0 kg (2.5 kg below \*\*N-type 550-600W\*\* median of 29.5 kg) allows easier transport and roof mounting - #4620 for efficiency, #2165 for temperature performance out of 14005 panels ## Questions ### What is the warranty on Renesola RS6-570~595N-E3 panels? The RS6-570~595N-E3 series comes with a 15-year product warranty covering material and workmanship defects, plus a 30-year linear power warranty. After 30 years of operation, the module retains at least 87.4% of its nominal power output. This is one of the longer degradation schedules available for large-format 570–595 Wp modules, which is critical when calculating ROI for commercial and industrial projects. ### What does TOPCon N-type technology offer compared to older PERC modules? The N-type TOPCon cells in the RS6-570~595N-E3 series feature a lower temperature coefficient of −0.29%/°C, compared to a typical −0.35%/°C for PERC modules, and module efficiency reaching 23.03%. This translates to smaller power losses on hot days and higher annual energy yields. N-type cells are also less susceptible to light-induced degradation (LID/LeTID), supporting more stable long-term output throughout the system's lifetime. ### Are Renesola RS6-570~595N-E3 modules suitable for commercial rooftop or warehouse installations? Yes, the RS6-570~595N-E3 series is designed for commercial and industrial applications. The large-format modules measuring 2278×1134×30 mm with up to 595 Wp maximize energy output per square meter of available roof space. At approximately 27 kg per module, a robust mounting structure typical of industrial rooftops, warehouses, and agricultural facilities is required. ### How many cells do the RS6-570~595N-E3 panels have, and how do they handle partial shading? The RS6-570~595N-E3 series uses 144 N-type TOPCon half-cut cells arranged in a multi-busbar configuration. The half-cut design means each half of the module operates independently, so a shadow cast by a chimney, antenna, or adjacent panel row affects only part of the module rather than the full string. This significantly reduces power losses under partial shading conditions compared to conventional full-cell designs. ### How does the efficiency of Renesola RS6-570~595N-E3 compare to other N-type modules on the market? The top 595 Wp variant achieves up to 23.03% module efficiency, placing the RS6-570~595N-E3 series among the leading monofacial N-type modules available to installers today. Standard PERC modules typically reach around 21–21.5% efficiency. Higher efficiency means fewer panels are needed to reach a target system capacity, which is especially valuable when roof space or ground area is constrained. ### Is Renesola a reliable manufacturer, and can the RS6-570~595N-E3 series be trusted for long-term projects? Renesola is classified as a Tier 1 manufacturer by Bloomberg NEF, meaning it has a documented track record in PV production and project financing. The company holds IEC 61215 and IEC 61730 certifications required by European installers and project lenders. The RS6-570~595N-E3 is an active product line, making it eligible for bankability assessments in commercial and utility-scale project financing. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/rs6-570-595n-n-type-182-144-mono-facial-module-1b6fefb8f984.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-560M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-560m) | 560 W | -20 W, cooler, +2.4 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-555M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-555m) | 555 W | -25 W, cooler, +2.2 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A630-MAH72Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a630-mah72dw) | 630 W | +50 W, heavier, +1.9 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVHL-550M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvhl-550m) | 550 W | -30 W, lighter, +1.9 pp | | [JA Solar JAT60S40-540/LR](https://comparepv.com/panel/ja-solar-jat60s40-540-lr) | 540 W | -40 W, lighter, +1.9 pp | | [Renesola RS6-550M-E3](https://comparepv.com/panel/renesola-rs6-550m-e3) | 550 W | Hotter, -1.2 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Renesola RS6-555M-E3](https://comparepv.com/panel/renesola-rs6-555m-e3) | 555 W | Hotter, -1.0 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Renesola RS6-560M-E3](https://comparepv.com/panel/renesola-rs6-560m-e3) | 560 W | Hotter, -0.8 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Renesola RS6-570N-E3](https://comparepv.com/panel/renesola-rs6-570n-e3) | 570 W | -10 W, -0.4 pp | | [Renesola RS6-575N-E3](https://comparepv.com/panel/renesola-rs6-575n-e3) | 575 W | Very close match | | [AIKO AIKO-A650-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a650-mae72mw) | 650 W | +70 W, cooler, +2.8 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A645-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a645-mae72mw) | 645 W | +65 W, cooler, +2.6 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A640-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a640-mae72mw) | 640 W | +60 W, cooler, +2.4 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A635-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a635-mae72mw) | 635 W | +55 W, cooler, +2.2 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/renesola-rs6-580n-e3 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.
