Thanks to passivated contacts and a **multi-busbar architecture**, the panels efficiently "collect" current from the cells and perform better in shaded or low-light conditions - which is a significant advantage in the Polish climate, leading to more stable daily energy production. In practice, Sable solves a common problem for investors: how to increase yield without adding more modules. This is facilitated by the **glass-to-glass bifacial design**, which can also utilize reflected light from the ground, while also improving resistance to environmental factors. Another key feature is the focus on **low power degradation over time**, which makes it easier to plan the long-term profitability of the installation. It is a good choice for residential and commercial installations, as well as ground-mounted projects - anywhere where high production, durability, and predictability are important. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 23.0% matches the \*\*TOPCon 700-750W\*\* median - Power density of 230.2 W/m² matches the \*\*TOPCon 700-750W\*\* median - At -0.29%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for \*\*TOPCon 700-750W\*\* panels - 80% bifaciality enables rear-side power generation, boosting yield by 4-12% on reflective surfaces - In the top 13% for efficiency among all TOPCon panels ## Questions ### What warranty does the Seraphim Sable series come with? The Sable series includes a 15-year product warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, plus a 30-year power output warranty. After 30 years, Seraphim guarantees at least 84.95% of the rated power. Thanks to TOPCon technology, annual degradation sits at approximately 0.4%, making long-term yield forecasting straightforward for system owners and investors. ### What is TOPCon technology and why choose Seraphim Sable over older PERC panels? TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) is an N-type cell design where a thin silicon oxide layer reduces carrier recombination losses. Sable panels deliver higher conversion efficiency than standard PERC cells and a lower temperature coefficient of around -0.29%/°C, meaning smaller power losses on hot days. LID-related initial degradation is below 1%, stabilizing at roughly 0.4% per year thereafter. ### Do Seraphim Sable panels perform well in overcast conditions and low irradiance, typical of Northern European climates? Yes. The multi-busbar architecture shortens current-flow paths between cells and reduces resistive losses at low irradiance. N-type TOPCon cells also show high sensitivity to diffuse light. This translates into measurably better energy yield during cloudy mornings and afternoons, which account for a significant share of production hours in Central and Northern Europe. ### What is the maximum power output of the Seraphim Sable module, and will a 720 Wp panel fit on a typical residential roof? The top variant of the Sable series reaches 720 Wp using 210 mm cells with module efficiency exceeding 23%. This is a large-format panel primarily suited for ground-mount and commercial rooftop installations. For residential projects, Seraphim offers smaller variants within the same Sable series compatible with standard racking systems — confirm the available model with your installer. ### Is Seraphim a reliable manufacturer? Where are they based and are they Tier 1? Seraphim Solar is a Chinese PV manufacturer headquartered in Nantong, operating since 2011 and holding Tier 1 status as recognized by independent rating agencies including BNEF. Tier 1 classification indicates bank-financeable track record and consistent manufacturing capacity, which significantly lowers long-term warranty risk for the system owner. ### What temperature range can Seraphim Sable panels handle, and do they work well in winter? Sable panels are certified for an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, so cold winters pose no risk whatsoever. In fact, N-type TOPCon cells have a lower temperature coefficient than PERC technology, meaning cold but sunny winter days can be especially productive — low ambient temperature reduces thermal losses and boosts output relative to rated STC conditions. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/541bc66a0ea0b094709797c52a3a41a5-e46b532d39bf.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [AIKO AIKO-A680-MDE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a680-mde72mw) | 680 W | -35 W, lighter, +2.2 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A675-MDE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a675-mde72mw) | 675 W | -40 W, lighter, +2.0 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A700-MAE78Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a700-mae78dw) | 700 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.0 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A695-MAE78Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a695-mae78dw) | 695 W | Cooler, lighter, +1.9 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-G670-MCH72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-g670-mch72mw) | 670 W | -45 W, lighter, +1.8 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-72HVHF-670M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-72hvhf-670m) | 670 W | -45 W, lighter, +1.8 pp | | [Jinko Solar JKM650-670N-66QL6-BDV (670W class)](https://comparepv.com/panel/jinko-solar-jkm650-670n-66ql6-bdv-670w-class) | 670 W | -45 W, lighter, +1.8 pp | | [Seraphim SRP-645-BMC-BG](https://comparepv.com/panel/seraphim-srp-645-bmc-bg) | 645 W | -70 W, hotter, -2.3 pp | | [Seraphim SRP-650-BMC-BG](https://comparepv.com/panel/seraphim-srp-650-bmc-bg) | 650 W | -65 W, hotter, -2.1 pp | | [Seraphim SRP-655-BMC-BG](https://comparepv.com/panel/seraphim-srp-655-bmc-bg) | 655 W | -60 W, hotter, -1.9 pp | | [Seraphim SRP-660-BMC-HV](https://comparepv.com/panel/seraphim-srp-660-bmc-hv) | 660 W | -55 W, lighter, -1.8 pp | | [Seraphim SRP-665-BMC-HV](https://comparepv.com/panel/seraphim-srp-665-bmc-hv) | 665 W | Hotter, lighter, -1.6 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A805-GRH78Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a805-grh78dw) | 805 W | +90 W, cooler, +2.1 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A800-GRH78Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a800-grh78dw) | 800 W | +85 W, cooler, +1.9 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A795-GRH78Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a795-grh78dw) | 795 W | +80 W, cooler, +1.8 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A790-GRH78Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a790-grh78dw) | 790 W | +75 W, cooler, +1.6 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/seraphim-srp-715-btc-bg Not in this file, on the page: the I-V and temperature curves lifted from the manufacturer's datasheet, a thirty-year output simulator, a bifacial gain calculator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
