The Risen RSM96-11-440-460BNDG series was designed for maximum yield in real-world operating conditions - beyond the laboratory. These modules feature N-type wafers in TOPCon technology, delivering high parameter stability and lower power losses over time. In practice, this translates to more reliable energy production for installations intended to operate without surprises for many years.

A key advantage is the bifacial dual-glass construction - the panel can also utilize reflected light from the ground, making it easier to achieve yield on flat roofs, pergolas, carports, or ground-mounted installations. This design also improves resistance to environmental factors, and better performance at high temperatures helps maintain production during summer months when many competing modules visibly lose efficiency.

This is an excellent choice for companies and smart consumers who seek long-term predictability, high performance even in low-light conditions, and technology that truly lowers the energy cost from their installations.

Common questions

6 answered
What warranty does the Risen RSM96-11-440-460BNDG series come with?
The RSM96-11-440-460BNDG series is backed by a 15-year product warranty covering manufacturing defects and a 30-year linear power warranty guaranteeing at least 87.4% of rated output at the end of that period. This is among the longer warranty standards in the industry and reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the dual-glass, N-type TOPCon construction.
Is the Risen RSM96-11-440-460BNDG suitable for flat roofs and ground-mounted systems?
Yes, this is one of the series' key strengths. The bifacial dual-glass design allows the panels to harvest light reflected from the ground or roofing membrane, which is especially beneficial on flat roofs and ground-mounted arrays with light-colored surfaces. With a bifacial factor of approximately 80%, the real-world energy yield gain is meaningful at no additional hardware cost.
How does the Risen RSM96-11-440-460BNDG perform in high summer temperatures?
The series features a temperature coefficient of Pmax of -0.29%/°C, which is better than typical PERC modules (-0.34 to -0.37%/°C). In practice, this means lower power losses on hot days when module temperature can exceed 60-70°C. N-type TOPCon cells also show lower LID (light-induced degradation), helping maintain stable output throughout the summer season.
What makes the TOPCon technology in the Risen RSM96-11-440-460BNDG stand out?
TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) uses an N-type silicon base with a thin tunnel oxide passivation layer that reduces carrier recombination. As a result, the RSM96-11-440-460BNDG achieves module efficiency of around 22-23% and exhibits lower LID/LeTID degradation in the first years of operation compared to PERC technology. For end users, this translates to more predictable and stable energy production over the system's lifetime.
What are the dimensions and weight of the Risen RSM96-11-440-460BNDG - will it fit my roof?
The module measures 1762×1134×30 mm and weighs approximately 21.5 kg. This is a standard footprint for 96-cell modules, compatible with most racking and mounting systems available on the market. The dual-glass construction adds a small amount of weight compared to glass-backsheet modules, but significantly improves mechanical strength and long-term weatherproofing.
Who is the Risen RSM96-11-440-460BNDG series designed for - residential or commercial use?
The series is well suited for both larger residential prosumer installations and commercial or industrial rooftop projects. Up to 460 Wp per module and high efficiency allow more energy to be generated from a limited roof area. The 30-year power warranty, durable dual-glass encapsulation, and Risen's Tier 1 manufacturer status make it particularly attractive for businesses seeking a reliable long-term return on investment.
