The RPS2MH72BDXXX series consists of bifacial photovoltaic modules built on M10 PERC cells using half-cut cell technology, designed to maximize energy yield in both rooftop and ground-mounted installations. Thanks to gallium-doped cells and a multi busbar layout, these panels reduce power losses caused by micro-cracking and hot-spot effects, delivering greater reliability under demanding operating conditions. The rear side uses a high-transmission glass cover, allowing the cells to capture additional reflected light from the ground - a feature that performs especially well on solar farms with light-colored surfaces or rooftops covered with reflective membranes. The anodized aluminum frame combined with a reinforced front glass gives the series strong resistance to heavy snow and wind loads, making it a solid choice for installers working in regions with variable climate conditions. The modules also stand out for stable performance in low-light conditions - early morning, sunset, or overcast weather - which meaningfully boosts annual energy output. This solution is aimed at both commercial investors and residential installers looking for a balance between performance, durability, and predictable LCOE over the system's lifetime.

Common questions

6 answered
How does the bifacial RPS2MH72BDXXX panel differ from a standard monofacial module?
The RPS2MH72BDXXX captures light on both the front and rear side thanks to high-transmission glass on the back of the module. Extra energy comes from light reflected off the ground surface - light-colored gravel, roof membrane, or snow. In practice this delivers several to over ten percent higher annual yield compared to a classic single-sided panel of the same footprint.
What warranty comes with the RPS2MH72BDXXX series?
Manufacturer Renew Photovoltaics provides a 12-year product warranty covering material and workmanship defects, plus a 30-year power output warranty. This means that even after three decades of operation, the panel should still deliver its guaranteed percentage of nominal power, which directly supports predictable return on investment.
Is the 560 Wp RPS2MH72BDXXX suitable for large ground-mount installations?
Yes, power output up to 560 Wp combined with bifacial technology and half-cut M10 PERC cells makes this series a strong fit for PV farms. A higher per-module power rating means fewer panels per string, shorter DC wiring runs, and lower mounting structure costs, while a light-colored ground surface further boosts rear-side output.
Do these panels perform well in low-light conditions, such as early morning or overcast days?
Yes, the gallium-doped PERC cells used in the RPS2MH72BDXXX maintain stable performance under low irradiance, reducing generation drops at dawn, dusk, and on cloudy days. The multi busbar structure also lowers series resistance across the cells, resulting in higher real-world annual yield than nominal power alone would suggest.
Can the RPS2MH72BDXXX frame withstand heavy snow load and strong wind?
Yes, the module features an anodized aluminum frame and reinforced front glass designed for elevated mechanical loads. This construction matters especially in regions with variable climates, where heavy winter snowfall and strong summer wind gusts are common, reducing the risk of microcracks and frame damage.
Is the RPS2MH72BDXXX series better suited for commercial or residential prosumer installations?
The series works well in both settings. The high 560 Wp power rating and bifacial technology appeal to commercial investors and PV farms, where LCOE at scale matters most. At the same time, its resistance to microcracks, hot spots, and low-light conditions makes it equally reliable in typical residential installations on sloped or flat roofs.
