The Resun Solar RS8I-M-DG series are double-glass (glass-glass) modules designed for stable operation over many years in rooftop and larger farm installations. The use of N-type cells in TOPCon technology helps to minimize losses and maintain higher efficiency even in more demanding operating conditions. This is a solution for investors who want to maximize space utilization - thanks to bifacial design, the module can also generate energy from reflected light from the ground, which translates into higher yields in areas where albedo and proper mounting are critical.

The RS8I-M-DG stands out due to its half-cut technology, which improves resistance to shading and reduces the risk of local overheating, thereby increasing the predictability of daily production. The series is suitable for installation companies looking for modules for commercial projects, carport installations, and ground-mounted systems, where the combination of bifacial operation with a robust, double-glass construction and a long-term focus on durability gives it an advantage over the competition.

Common questions

6 answered
What warranty does Resun Solar offer on the RS8I-M-DG series?
Resun Solar provides a 15-year product warranty on RS8I-M-DG modules, covering manufacturing defects and material failures. In addition, the manufacturer offers a 30-year linear power warranty, guaranteeing at least 85% of rated output after that period. This extended warranty reflects the durability of the double-glass (glass-glass) construction and the inherently lower annual degradation rate of N-type TOPCon cells compared to older PERC technology.
Are the RS8I-M-DG modules suitable for carports or ground-mounted systems?
Yes, the RS8I-M-DG series is an excellent fit for carports and ground-mounted solar farms. The bifacial design captures reflected light from the ground surface, while the glass-glass encapsulation delivers superior moisture resistance and mechanical load tolerance compared to standard backsheet modules. With up to 590 Wp per module, fewer units are needed to reach the target system capacity, reducing BoS costs.
How does the TOPCon technology in the RS8I-M-DG differ from conventional PERC cells?
TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) cells are built on an N-type silicon substrate with an additional passivation layer that minimizes carrier recombination. This translates to higher module efficiency — up to 22.84% for the RS8I-M-DG — and a lower temperature coefficient of -0.32%/°C, meaning smaller output losses on hot summer days compared to standard PERC modules. N-type TOPCon also shows better resistance to LID and PID degradation.
What is the energy gain from the bifacial design of the RS8I-M-DG, and what affects it most?
The bifacial RS8I-M-DG modules harvest albedo light reflected from the ground through their active rear surface. The actual energy gain depends on ground reflectivity: white gravel or snow can add 10–20% extra yield, while green grass typically contributes 5–10%. The bifacial gain is maximized in ground-mounted or carport installations where sufficient clearance exists between the modules and the surface, allowing reflected light to reach the rear side.
How much does an RS8I-M-DG panel weigh, and can a standard roof structure support it?
The RS8I-M-DG weighs approximately 28 kg, which is 5–7 kg more than a comparable single-glass module of similar wattage — a direct result of its glass-glass construction. Before installing on a roof, a structural assessment is recommended, especially for older buildings. Modern residential roof trusses are generally built with adequate load margins, but each installation should be reviewed individually with a certified installer.
How does half-cut cell technology in the RS8I-M-DG help under partial shading conditions?
The RS8I-M-DG uses 144 half-cut cells, meaning each cell has a smaller active area and carries lower operating current. When a shadow falls on part of the module — from a chimney, antenna, or nearby obstruction — it affects only a portion of the cell strings, so the unshaded section continues generating power. Half-cut cells also reduce resistive losses and lower the risk of hot-spot formation, which extends the overall service life of the module.
