Warranty pick, no clear weak spot
The Solar N Plus CYGNUS All-black Bifacial solar panel series represents a breakthrough combination of uncompromising aesthetics and the highest energy efficiency. The use of N-type TOPCon cell technology allows for significantly higher efficiency while simultaneously reducing light-induced degradation. What sets this line apart from the competition is the unique design of the full-black bifacial module, which debunks the myth that bifacial panels cannot look elegant on the roof of a single-family home. Thanks to the ability to absorb radiation reflected from the ground, the user gains additional energy yield without sacrificing the deep, uniform black of the entire installation. This solves the problem for investors seeking maximum savings who previously had to choose between the performance of bifacial modules and modern design. High resistance to harsh weather conditions and excellent performance in low-light conditions make the CYGNUS series an ideal choice for the most demanding residential projects. It is an investment in long-term power parameter stability, which clearly outperforms standard market solutions in terms of durability and the rate of return on invested capital.
Ranking
Signals from the data
Residential.
Top 19% of the N-type 350-400 W segment, against a median of 25 yrs.
- 20.2% module efficiency - 0.7pp better than the N-type 0-400W median of 19.5%
- Power density of 202.3 W/m² packs 7.4 W/m² more into the same footprint vs N-type 0-400W median (194.9 W/m²)
- -0.35%/°C temperature coefficient - 0.03pp worse than N-type 0-400W median (-0.32%/°C), expect higher hot weather losses
- Weight of 24.1 kg is 2.1 kg above N-type 0-400W median (22.0 kg) - verify structural support
- Bifacial design (70% factor) captures reflected light - adds 4-10% yield on ground-mount or white roof

Simulations
Degradation from this panel's own datasheet figures. No inverter, soiling or shading losses.
Model: bifaciality × albedo × 0.6 view factor. A first-order estimate, not a yield simulation.
