The panels use **half-cut cell technology**, where cells are split in half to reduce internal power loss and dissipate heat more effectively, resulting in noticeably better resistance to hot-spot effects caused by partial shading - a common issue on residential roofs with chimneys or antennas. In addition, the **multi-busbar (9BB) cells** lower the risk of micro-cracks and interrupted current paths, boosting the module's long-term reliability. The distinctive **full black design** - black frame, black backsheet and a uniform, sleek look - makes these panels a natural fit for residential roofs, where visual appearance plays a real role in the homeowner's decision. High-transmittance tempered glass improves performance under low-light conditions, while the construction offers **high mechanical strength** against wind and snow loads, along with resistance to salt mist and ammonia. The series is backed by a **30-year linear power warranty**, making it a solid choice for prosumer installations that prioritize durability and aesthetics alike. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 19.8% is 2.0pp below the \*\*database\*\* median (21.8%) - 197.6 W/m² power density is 20.5 W/m² below \*\*database\*\* median (218.1 W/m²) - requires larger installation area - Temperature coefficient of -0.34%/°C is 0.04pp worse than \*\*database\*\* median (-0.30%/°C) - higher losses in summer heat - 19.0 kg weight - 7.5 kg lighter than \*\*database\*\* median (26.5 kg), reducing installation effort - #12416 for efficiency, #8778 for temperature performance out of 14005 panels ## Questions ### Are Resun RS7K-M FULL BLACK panels still available for purchase? The RS7K-M FULL BLACK series has been discontinued by Resun Solar and is no longer in active production. Panels may still be available through distributors while stock lasts, but the manufacturer does not plan to resume production. We recommend checking current stock availability with your supplier and considering newer full black series from Resun as an alternative. ### What warranty comes with RS7K-M FULL BLACK modules? The manufacturer provides a 12-year product warranty covering material and workmanship defects, along with a 30-year linear power warranty guaranteeing sustained high performance throughout the panel's lifetime. This is comparable to top-tier series currently on the market, even though this particular series has been discontinued. ### How does half-cut cell technology in the RS7K-M differ from full-size cells? In half-cut technology, each silicon cell is cut into two halves, reducing internal current losses and lowering the module's operating temperature. This makes the RS7K-M FULL BLACK more resilient to partial shading, such as from a chimney or antenna, and less prone to hot-spot effects compared to modules using full-size cells. ### Is the RS7K-M FULL BLACK suitable for residential rooftops in terms of appearance? Yes, this is one of the series' main advantages. The black frame and black cell backing create a uniform, sleek look without visible silver elements, making it a popular choice for prosumer installations where the roof's aesthetics matter to the homeowner, such as on visible single-family house roofs. ### What is the maximum power output of the RS7K-M FULL BLACK, and how many panels are needed for a typical 5 kWp system? The panel reaches a maximum power output of 380 Wp. To build a system of roughly 5 kWp, you would need about 13 modules. Thanks to half-cut technology and 9BB cells, the panels maintain stable performance even under partial sunlight, which is worth factoring into the layout design on the roof. ### Do the 9BB multi-busbar cells in the RS7K-M improve panel durability? Yes, 9BB (nine busbar) technology distributes current across more pathways on the cell surface, reducing the risk of microcracks and circuit interruption from minor mechanical damage. In practice, this translates to higher long-term reliability, especially under harsher climate conditions such as significant temperature swings. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/RS7K-M-FULL-BLACK-355-380W-min-87b42baed56c.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [JA Solar NS-330MH-80](https://comparepv.com/panel/ja-solar-ns-330mh-80) | 330 W | Cooler, +3.3 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [PolyCrown Solar Tech NS-330MH-80](https://comparepv.com/panel/polycrown-solar-tech-ns-330mh-80) | 330 W | Cooler, +3.3 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M320W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m320w) | 320 W | -40 W, lighter, +3.2 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M340W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m340w) | 340 W | -20 W, lighter, +3.2 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M360W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m360w) | 360 W | Lighter, +3.2 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M380W (1/4\*4\*38)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m380w-1-4-4-38) | 380 W | +20 W, lighter, +3.2 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M400W (1/2\*4\*20)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m400w-1-2-4-20) | 400 W | +40 W, lighter, +3.2 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M400W (1/4\*4\*40)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m400w-1-4-4-40) | 400 W | +40 W, lighter, +3.2 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M380W (1/2\*4\*19)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m380w-1-2-4-19) | 380 W | +20 W, lighter, +3.2 pp | | [Maxeon SPR-MAX3-400-COM](https://comparepv.com/panel/maxeon-spr-max3-400-com) | 400 W | Cooler, +2.8 pp, +10 yr warranty | | [Resun Solar RS7K-355M](https://comparepv.com/panel/resun-solar-rs7k-355m) | 355 W | -0.3 pp | | [Resun Solar RS7K-365M](https://comparepv.com/panel/resun-solar-rs7k-365m) | 365 W | Very close match | | [Resun Solar RS7K-370M](https://comparepv.com/panel/resun-solar-rs7k-370m) | 370 W | +10 W, +0.5 pp | | [Resun Solar RS7K-375M](https://comparepv.com/panel/resun-solar-rs7k-375m) | 375 W | +15 W, +0.8 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | +150 W, cooler, +5.2 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | +135 W, cooler, +5.0 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/resun-solar-rs7k-360m Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
