The use of **N-type cells** allows for reduced power losses during operation and improves stability, which is a significant advantage in installations designed for long-term use. The design with **half-cut cells** is better at handling microcracks and reduces the impact of local shading, resulting in more predictable performance in urban and complex roof environments. In practice, it also features **positive power tolerance**, which makes it easier to achieve the desired performance of the entire string without unpleasant surprises during connection. This makes it a good choice for installers and investors seeking **long-term warranty protection** and high efficiency in C&I and larger micro-installations, where competitors often lose out due to their inconsistent and unstable performance parameters. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 23.0% matches the \*\*N-type 650-700W\*\* median - Power density of 229.7 W/m² is 3.5 W/m² below \*\*N-type 650-700W\*\* median (233.2 W/m²) - needs more roof space - Temperature coefficient of -0.29%/°C matches the \*\*N-type 650-700W\*\* median - At 34.5 kg, weight matches the \*\*N-type 650-700W\*\* median - 80% bifaciality enables rear-side power generation, boosting yield by 4-12% on reflective surfaces ## Questions ### What warranties does the Solarspace SS9-60HD 625-650N (Lumina II) come with? The Lumina II series carries a 15-year product warranty covering material and workmanship defects, along with a 30-year linear power warranty. After 30 years, the manufacturer guarantees at least 87.4% of the rated power output. This extended coverage makes the series particularly attractive when calculating ROI for commercial and large prosumer installations. ### What is the maximum power output and efficiency of the Solarspace Lumina II panel? The top variant of the SS9-60HD series is rated at 650 Wp with a module efficiency of approximately 22.65%. This is achieved through N-type cell technology and a 144 half-cut cell layout in a dual-glass configuration. The positive power tolerance guarantees the panel will meet or exceed its datasheet rating, which is important when calculating string-level yields. ### Are the Solarspace SS9-60HD Lumina II panels bifacial, and does it make a difference on a standard rooftop? Yes, the Lumina II series features bifacial dual-glass construction with a bifaciality factor of 80±5%. The rear-side energy gain is most significant on highly reflective surfaces such as gravel, concrete, or snow, and in ground-mount systems with tilt-adjustable racking. On a conventional dark sloped roof the gain is more modest, but still measurable and should be factored into the system design. ### How do the Lumina II panels handle partial shading or complex roof layouts? The half-cut cell design splits the module into two independent electrical circuits. Localized shading from a chimney, dormer, or antenna only reduces output in the affected segment without cutting off the entire panel. Combined with N-type cells, which inherently deliver a lower temperature coefficient and better low-light response, this results in more predictable energy yields throughout the year — especially on geometrically complex rooftops. ### How does the N-type technology in the Lumina II series compare to older P-type modules? N-type cells (TOPCon-based in this case) do not use boron doping, making them immune to LID and LeTID degradation — phenomena that can reduce P-type module power by several percent within the first months of operation. In practice, this means first-year degradation below 1%, better high-temperature performance, and a longer effective system lifespan compared to conventional PERC modules. ### Are the Solarspace SS9-60HD 625-650N (Lumina II) panels suitable for commercial and industrial (C&I) projects? Yes. High unit power output (up to 650 Wp), module efficiency above 22%, a 30-year linear power warranty, and certifications including IEC61215, IEC61730, IEC61701 (salt mist corrosion), and IEC62716 (ammonia) meet the requirements of industrial and commercial installations. As a Tier 1 manufacturer, Solarspace also facilitates project bankability for institutional financing. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/ss9-60hd-n-b12646a23cd5.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [AIKO AIKO-A650-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a650-mae72mw) | 650 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.2 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A680-MDE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a680-mde72mw) | 680 W | +30 W, lighter, +2.2 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A675-MDE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a675-mde72mw) | 675 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.0 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A645-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a645-mae72mw) | 645 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.0 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A700-MAE78Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a700-mae78dw) | 700 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.0 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A695-MAE78Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a695-mae78dw) | 695 W | +45 W, cooler, +1.9 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-G670-MCH72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-g670-mch72mw) | 670 W | Cooler, lighter, +1.8 pp | | [Solarspace SS9-60HD-625N](https://comparepv.com/panel/solarspace-ss9-60hd-625n) | 625 W | -25 W, -0.9 pp | | [Solarspace SS9-60HD-630N](https://comparepv.com/panel/solarspace-ss9-60hd-630n) | 630 W | -20 W, -0.7 pp | | [Solarspace SS9-60HD-635N](https://comparepv.com/panel/solarspace-ss9-60hd-635n) | 635 W | -15 W, -0.6 pp | | [Solarspace SS9-60HD-640N](https://comparepv.com/panel/solarspace-ss9-60hd-640n) | 640 W | -10 W, -0.4 pp | | [Solarspace SS9-60HD-645N](https://comparepv.com/panel/solarspace-ss9-60hd-645n) | 645 W | Very close match | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210N120](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210n120) | 680 W | Hotter, lighter, +1.1 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210N120-675](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210n120-675) | 675 W | Hotter, lighter, +0.9 pp | | [Q-SUN Solar QN-670HJT-01](https://comparepv.com/panel/q-sun-solar-qn-670hjt-01) | 670 W | +20 W, cooler, +0.7 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210N120-670](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210n120-670) | 670 W | Hotter, lighter, +0.7 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/solarspace-ss9-60hd-650n 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.
