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.

What owners get
Efficiency up to 23.03%

The RS6 series achieves 22.07-23.03% efficiency, matching the best-in-class peers (Solarspace Lumina II at 23.03%, Heliene 144HC M10 at 23.02%) and clearly outperforming Sunova TS-BW78 (21.3%).

N-type TOPCon technology

N-type cells offer lower LID/LeTID degradation and a favorable power temperature coefficient (-0.29%/°C), translating into higher real-world energy yield, especially in summer and high-temperature operating conditions.

30-year linear power warranty

The manufacturer guarantees a minimum of 87.4% of rated power after 30 years of operation, a significantly longer standard than the typical 25-year warranties offered by older PERC modules from some competitors.

High unit power up to 595 Wp

Six power variants (570-595 Wp) in a 2278x1134 mm footprint help maximize energy production per unit of roof area - valuable for industrial and agricultural installations.

Established manufacturer since 2005

Renesola is a manufacturer with over 20 years in the renewable energy market, repeatedly listed on the BNEF Tier 1 list (including Q1 and Q2 2026), confirming its position as a recognized module supplier.

Trade-offs
Volatile BNEF Tier 1 status

After appearing on BNEF Tier 1 lists in Q1 and Q2 2026, Renesola was absent from the Q3 2026 list - BloombergNEF excludes manufacturers showing signs of financial default. 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.

Common questions

6 answered
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.
