Middle of its segment, weak in heat
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.

Residential.
Hot climates, weight-limited structures and roofs where every square metre has to count.
Bottom 4% of the N-type 400-450 W segment, against a median of -0.290. Ranked 10,419th in the whole database.
Bottom 7% of the N-type 400-450 W segment, against a median of 51.2. Ranked 11,555th in the whole database.
Bottom 17% of the N-type 400-450 W segment, against a median of 218.3.
- At 21.3% efficiency, this panel is 0.6pp below the N-type 400-450W median of 21.9%
- 212.5 W/m² power density is 5.8 W/m² below N-type 400-450W median (218.3 W/m²) - requires larger installation area
- Temperature coefficient of -0.35%/°C is 0.06pp worse than N-type 400-450W median (-0.29%/°C) - higher losses in summer heat
- At 24.1 kg (2.1 kg above N-type 400-450W median of 22.0 kg), requires checking roof load capacity
- Bifaciality factor of 70% can add 4-10% extra yield with reflective mounting surface
