The SP Enerji D6L_K3A series are bifacial modules designed to meet the real challenges of Polish installations - where stable production, even under reflected light from bright roofs, gravel, or snow, is crucial. The use of a bifacial design allows for better utilization of diffuse radiation, which translates into higher yields in more challenging solar conditions.

Compared to the competition, it stands out due to its enhanced mechanical durability, which allows the modules to withstand wind and snow loads more effectively, as well as its optimized PID resistance - which is important in installations operating at high voltage and in humid environments. In addition, the manufacturer emphasizes EL quality control, which reduces the risk of microcracks and power drops over the long term.

This is a good choice for PV farms, carports, and industrial roofs, where predictable performance, durability, and higher yields are the priority, without having to constantly chase specific parameters from tables.

Common questions

6 answered
Is the SP Enerji D6L_K3A series still available for purchase?
The D6L_K3A series has been discontinued and is no longer offered as a new product. If you are looking for bifacial PERC modules with similar specifications, ask your distributor about current alternatives in the SP Enerji portfolio or from other manufacturers. For existing installations, the product and linear power warranties remain valid under the terms issued at the time of purchase.
What warranty comes with SP Enerji D6L_K3A modules?
The manufacturer provided a 10-year product warranty covering material and workmanship defects, along with a 25-year linear power warranty. This means the module should maintain output above the degradation threshold specified in the warranty document for a full quarter century. This is a standard level of protection for commercial-grade PV modules.
Does the bifacial technology in the D6L_K3A series actually increase energy yield?
Yes, bifacial modules capture irradiance from both the front and rear sides of the panel. The gain is most pronounced over high-albedo surfaces such as gravel, white roofing membrane, or snow. In typical ground-mount and carport installations, rear-side contribution typically adds 5 to 15 percent of additional yield depending on ground albedo and tilt angle.
What is the peak power of the SP Enerji D6L_K3A and which installations is it suited for?
The module delivers a maximum power output of 410 Wp under STC conditions. This rating suits prosumer installations on industrial rooftops as well as commercial PV farms and carports. When designing the system, verify the inverter MPPT voltage range, as bifacial PERC modules can produce short-term power surges when rear irradiance from reflective surfaces is added.
How does the D6L_K3A handle snow loads and wind pressure in Polish climate conditions?
SP Enerji emphasized the enhanced mechanical strength of the D6L_K3A series. Bifacial modules in this class are typically certified for snow loads up to 5400 Pa and wind loads up to 2400 Pa, which meets requirements for most locations in Poland. Always confirm the values in the datasheet and consult your installer, especially in high-snowfall zones.
Are SP Enerji D6L_K3A modules resistant to Potential Induced Degradation (PID)?
The D6L_K3A series was designed with optimized PID resistance, which is important for systems operating at high system voltage and in high-humidity environments common in Poland. PID resistance reduces the risk of irreversible power loss caused by leakage current through the cell structure, resulting in more predictable system performance over the full operational lifetime.
