The Renesola RS7-615~635NBG-E2 series consists of modules designed to achieve high energy production from the same surface area - particularly in locations where maximum power density and stable operation under varying conditions are crucial. The use of N-type TOPCon technology helps to minimize losses due to degradation over time and maintain predictable energy yields throughout the installation's lifespan. The bifacial design, combined with double glass, allows for effective utilization of light reflected from the ground, which translates into additional energy gains in PV farms, ground-mounted installations, and flat-roof systems with a light membrane or gravel.

These modules also stand out for their mechanical and environmental durability, thanks to the robust dual-glass construction, which simplifies the design of installations in demanding locations. This is a sound choice for investors who want to combine high performance with long-term reliability and easier energy cost balancing over time.

What owners get
N-type TOPCon cell technology

N-type TOPCon cells deliver a low power temperature coefficient of -0.29%/°C, outperforming typical PERC modules (usually -0.35 to -0.40%/°C), which translates into higher real-world yield in hot climates and on poorly ventilated roofs.

Bifacial dual-glass construction

Dual-glass build with bifacial cells captures light reflected off the ground, typically adding several to low double-digit percent energy gain in ground-mount PV farms and on bright flat roofs, while the stiffer structure improves mechanical durability versus standard glass-backsheet modules.

30-year power warranty at 87.4%

The manufacturer guarantees 87.4% of nominal power retained after 30 years, matching leading N-type series on the market (e.g., Longi Hi-MO X10) and clearly exceeding the 25-year warranty standard of older PERC series.

Tier-1, bankable manufacturer since 2005

Renesola is a Tier-1 bankable manufacturer with a 20-year track record (founded 2005), which eases project financing with banks and provides assurance of long-term warranty support availability.

High unit power output 615-635 Wp

The 2465x1134 mm format with 156 cells reaches up to 635 Wp per module, reducing module count, DC cabling runs, and mounting structure costs per installed MW in large ground-mount installations.

Trade-offs
Efficiency trails segment leaders

Peak efficiency of 22.72% matches Talesun's TM7G78M but clearly lags behind competing N-type series at the same 635 Wp power class - Sunpro Power TOPCon 210R (23.51%) and Longi Hi-MO X10 (23.5%), a gap of roughly 0.8 percentage points.

Large format and heavy module weight

Dimensions of 2465x1134x30 mm and a 35 kg weight require at least two installers for handling and a correspondingly reinforced mounting structure, which may increase logistics and labor costs compared to smaller module formats.

Common questions

6 answered
What warranty does the Renesola RS7-615~635NBG-E2 series come with?
The RS7-615~635NBG-E2 modules include a 15-year product warranty covering material and workmanship defects, plus a 30-year linear power output warranty. Renesola guarantees predictable performance over three decades of system operation — a premium standard consistent with the long-term stability expected from N-type TOPCon cell technology.
How do the Renesola RS7-615~635NBG-E2 panels compare to older PERC modules?
The N-type TOPCon cells in the RS7-615~635NBG-E2 series deliver lower light-induced degradation (LID) and higher conversion efficiency than conventional PERC technology. In practice, this means more stable energy yields over the system lifetime and better performance on hot days, since N-type TOPCon modules have a lower temperature coefficient than PERC and lose less output as temperatures rise.
Are the RS7-615~635NBG-E2 panels suitable for utility-scale ground-mount solar farms?
Yes, the RS7-615~635NBG-E2 series is designed with large ground-mount installations in mind. The bifacial dual-glass design captures reflected light from the ground surface (albedo effect), adding 3–15% to energy yield depending on ground cover. The high unit power of up to 635 Wp also reduces the module count needed to reach the target system capacity, lowering overall BoS costs.
What bifacial gain can I realistically expect from the RS7-615~635NBG-E2?
Bifacial gain depends on ground albedo and module mounting height above the surface. Light-colored gravel or a white roofing membrane typically delivers an additional 5–15% energy output from the rear side. On grass or standard soil, the gain is usually 3–8%. The exact bifacial yield should be modeled during system design using site-specific albedo measurements and a validated simulation tool.
Is Renesola a reliable manufacturer — can I trust the RS7-615~635NBG-E2 long-term?
Renesola holds Bloomberg NEF Tier 1 manufacturer status, confirming the financial stability required to honor long-term warranties over a 30-year horizon. The company has been active in the solar industry for over 20 years with a consistent track record of European market deliveries. The RS7-615~635NBG-E2 series is not discontinued and remains in active production with full manufacturer support.
Can the Renesola RS7-615~635NBG-E2 be installed on a flat roof?
Yes, the dual-glass RS7-615~635NBG-E2 modules are well suited for flat-roof applications. The rigid dual-glass construction improves mechanical resistance and moisture protection compared to framed alternatives. The bifacial design provides additional benefit when a white TPO/PVC membrane or light-colored gravel reflects irradiance onto the rear side. Mounting at a 10–15° tilt also enables self-cleaning by rainwater, reducing maintenance needs.
