An advanced glass-to-glass construction with tempered, anti-reflective front glass provides the highest fire resistance class and significantly better mechanical strength compared to standard modules with a rear film. A key innovation is **Super Multi BusBar technology with cylindrical ribbons**, which minimizes the risk of cell microcracks and reduces internal power losses, directly translating into the long-term reliability of the entire installation. The bidirectional design of the module allows for effective utilization of reflected light from the ground, resulting in a significantly higher energy yield compared to traditional monofacial panels. This makes the TITAN Dual GLASS series particularly suitable for **agrivoltaic applications**, where the space under the panels remains economically viable. The panel is completely **free from PID (Potential Induced Degradation)**, which is crucial in high-voltage systems. The quality and durability are confirmed by DEKRA certification, **30-year linear warranty on output power**, and high resistance to hail, snow, and wind loads. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 22.2% matches the \*\*TOPCon 450-500W\*\* median - 221.8 W/m² power density is 3.3 W/m² below \*\*TOPCon 450-500W\*\* median (225.2 W/m²) - requires larger installation area - Temperature coefficient of -0.29%/°C matches the \*\*TOPCon 450-500W\*\* median - At 26.5 kg, this panel is 2.5 kg heavier than the \*\*TOPCon 450-500W\*\* median (24.0 kg) - more demanding for installation crews - Bifacial design (80% factor) captures reflected light - adds 4-12% yield on ground-mount or white roof ## Questions ### What warranty does the Sun Earth TITAN Dual GLASS DXM8-60HBG come with? The TITAN Dual GLASS DXM8-60HBG series carries a 12-year product warranty covering manufacturing defects and a 30-year linear power output warranty, both backed by DEKRA certification. This means the manufacturer guarantees declared power levels for three decades, significantly reducing investment risk for long-term PV projects. ### How much more energy does the bifacial TITAN Dual GLASS DXM8-60HBG produce compared to a standard monofacial panel? The bifacial design captures direct solar irradiance on the front side and reflected irradiance from the ground on the rear side. Real-world energy gain depends on ground albedo and mounting angle, but in typical agrivoltaic installations it can add several to over ten percent on top of the nominal 505 Wp rating, with no additional capital investment required. ### Is the Sun Earth TITAN Dual GLASS DXM8-60HBG suitable for agrivoltaic installations? Yes, the TITAN Dual GLASS series is specifically recommended for agrivoltaic applications. The bifacial design effectively harvests irradiance reflected from crops and soil, while the glass-glass construction delivers the highest fire resistance class and superior durability in harsh field conditions. The land beneath the panels remains fully productive, making this series an ideal choice for farmers looking to double the use of their land. ### What is TOPCon technology and why choose it over PERC in the TITAN Dual GLASS series? TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) is an N-type monocrystalline cell technology that delivers higher conversion efficiency (up to 23.3% for this series) and a lower temperature coefficient than PERC cells. This means less power loss on hot days and slower long-term degradation. The Super Multi BusBar design with cylindrical ribbons further minimizes micro-crack risk and reduces internal power losses. ### Is the Sun Earth TITAN Dual GLASS DXM8-60HBG resistant to PID? Yes, the TITAN Dual GLASS series is fully PID-free (Potential Induced Degradation). This is critical in high-voltage systems such as large commercial installations where string voltage exceeds 1,000 V. PID immunity ensures stable power output throughout the entire 30-year linear power warranty period. ### Can the TITAN Dual GLASS DXM8-60HBG withstand heavy hail, snow loads, and strong winds? Yes. The glass-glass construction with tempered anti-reflective glass provides exceptional mechanical strength: the panel withstands snow loads up to 5,400 Pa, wind loads up to 2,400 Pa, and hail impacts of 35 mm diameter at 27 m/s. This places it well above the mechanical resistance class of standard backsheet modules, making it suitable for harsh climatic locations. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/TITAN-G-G_DXM8-60HBG_M8-460-505W-web-ad3aa63d9ea7.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | +30 W, cooler, +2.8 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.6 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-505M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-505m) | 505 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.5 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A490-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a490-mce54mw) | 490 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.3 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-500m) | 500 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.3 pp | | [Talesun CIPRO-TN9C54M-500W](https://comparepv.com/panel/talesun-cipro-tn9c54m-500w) | 500 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.3 pp | | [Sun Earth DXM8-60HBG 460W](https://comparepv.com/panel/sun-earth-dxm8-60hbg-460w) | 460 W | -20 W, -0.9 pp | | [Sun Earth DXM8-60HBG 470W](https://comparepv.com/panel/sun-earth-dxm8-60hbg-470w) | 470 W | -10 W, -0.5 pp | | [Sun Earth DXM8-60HBG 490W](https://comparepv.com/panel/sun-earth-dxm8-60hbg-490w) | 490 W | +10 W, +0.4 pp | | [Sun Earth DXM8-60H 500W](https://comparepv.com/panel/sun-earth-msx5006h8-dblp) | 500 W | +20 W, lighter, +0.9 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-560M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-560m) | 560 W | +80 W, cooler, +2.6 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-555M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-555m) | 555 W | +75 W, cooler, +2.4 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVHL-550M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvhl-550m) | 550 W | +70 W, lighter, +2.2 pp | | [JA Solar JAT60S40-540/LR](https://comparepv.com/panel/ja-solar-jat60s40-540-lr) | 540 W | +60 W, lighter, +2.2 pp | | [Gokin GK-5-60HG-540M](https://comparepv.com/panel/gokin-gk-5-60hg-540m) | 540 W | +60 W, lighter, +2.2 pp | | [Jinko Solar JKM545-54QL6-DV-F1-EU](https://comparepv.com/panel/jinko-solar-jkm545-54ql6-dv-f1-eu) | 545 W | +65 W, cooler, +2.1 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/sun-earth-dxm8-60hbg-480w Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator, a bifacial gain calculator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
