The SunEvo Solar Evo T series consists of transparent bifacial modules with a double glass construction and a frameless design, intended for locations where both energy generation and aesthetics are important. Thanks to its high transparency, the module can function as an active glazing - allowing natural light to enter while also generating electricity, making it easy to design modern glazing solutions without sacrificing self-consumption.

The use of double glazing improves resistance to weather conditions and ensures long-term stability, while N-type monocrystalline cells help maintain good performance even in demanding conditions and with variable sunlight exposure. The bifacial design also allows for the utilization of reflected light from the surroundings - a real advantage on bright surfaces, in windy conditions, and in open structures.

The Evo T is particularly suitable for BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics), greenhouses, winter gardens, carports, and Agri-PV projects, where conventional, opaque panels simply limit the functionality of the building.

About the Evo T Series (High Transmittance Double Glass Bifacial Frameless Solar PV Module) series

6 answered

These answers cover the whole series. Where a figure differs, the specification above is this module's own.

What is the light transmittance of the SunEvo Solar Evo T modules and what does it mean for the end user?
The Evo T Series offers customizable transmittance ranging from 5% to 70%, meaning the module can let through varying amounts of natural daylight. In practice, you choose the daylighting level that fits your project - for example, a 45% transmittance variant balances power output with visibility, which works well in greenhouses and canopies. Note that higher transmittance results in lower wattage; the 45% variant reaches up to 340 Wp.
Are SunEvo Solar Evo T modules suitable for BIPV and architectural glazing applications?
Yes, the Evo T is engineered specifically for BIPV. Its frameless double-glass construction allows direct integration into facades, skylights, sunrooms, and canopies. The module simultaneously serves as structural glazing and a power generator, eliminating the need for separate decorative elements. This makes it particularly valuable for projects where architectural requirements and energy generation goals must be met together.
Do the N-type cells in the Evo T actually perform better under overcast skies and diffuse irradiance?
Yes. Monocrystalline N-type cells have a lower temperature coefficient of power loss and higher sensitivity to low-irradiance conditions compared to conventional P-type PERC cells. In climates with frequent cloudy days - like much of Central and Northern Europe - the annual yield advantage of N-type technology can reach several percentage points, making Evo T a practical choice for regions with variable solar resources.
What power warranty does SunEvo Solar offer for the Evo T Series?
SunEvo Solar provides a 30-year linear power warranty for the Evo T Series, guaranteeing that annual power degradation stays below a specified threshold - typically under 0.5% per year for N-type technology. It is worth reviewing the full warranty terms carefully, as SunEvo Solar is not classified as a Tier 1 manufacturer, which may affect long-term warranty enforceability and bankability for larger commercial projects.
How does the bifacial design of the Evo T affect energy yield in a carport or canopy installation?
In carports and canopies, the rear side of the Evo T module can absorb irradiance reflected off a bright surface - concrete, light-gray pavers, or snow. Under typical conditions, bifaciality adds 5-15% additional energy production compared to a monofacial equivalent. The gain is most pronounced when ground albedo is high and during winter months when snow cover significantly boosts reflected irradiance reaching the rear cell surface.
Does the frameless design of the Evo T modules require a special mounting system?
Yes. Without an aluminum frame, standard module clamps are incompatible. Evo T modules must be mounted using double-glass-specific clamps or point-fixing hardware - such as through-laminate bolts - depending on the structural design. Before purchasing, consult your distributor or installer to confirm a compatible racking system, especially for BIPV applications with specific fire-resistance or load requirements.
