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. ## Notable figures - Module efficiency of 14.0% is 5.5pp below average for \*\*N-type 0-400W\*\* panels (median: 19.5%) - 140.1 W/m² power density is 54.8 W/m² below \*\*N-type 0-400W\*\* median (194.9 W/m²) - requires larger installation area - Temperature coefficient of -0.30%/°C vs median -0.32%/°C means ~1% less power loss at 65°C - Weight of 27.0 kg is 5.0 kg above \*\*N-type 0-400W\*\* median (22.0 kg) - verify structural support - 80% bifaciality enables rear-side power generation, boosting yield by 4-12% on reflective surfaces ## Questions ### 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. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/Evo-T-45-Transmittance-320-340W-d2a622663685.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [JA Solar NS-300MH-72](https://comparepv.com/panel/ja-solar-ns-300mh-72) | 300 W | Lighter, +9.3 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [PolyCrown Solar Tech NS-300MH-72](https://comparepv.com/panel/polycrown-solar-tech-ns-300mh-72) | 300 W | Lighter, +9.3 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Heckert Solar ZEUS 1.2 FullBlack 280W](https://comparepv.com/panel/heckert-solar-zeus-1-2-fullblack-280w) | 280 W | -50 W, lighter, +9.3 pp | | [JA Solar NS-330MH-80](https://comparepv.com/panel/ja-solar-ns-330mh-80) | 330 W | Lighter, +9.1 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [PolyCrown Solar Tech NS-330MH-80](https://comparepv.com/panel/polycrown-solar-tech-ns-330mh-80) | 330 W | Lighter, +9.1 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Heckert Solar ZEUS 3.2 285WP FullBlack](https://comparepv.com/panel/heckert-solar-zeus-3-2-285wp-fullblack) | 285 W | -45 W, lighter, +9.1 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA182M285W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka182m285w) | 285 W | -45 W, 16 kg lighter, +9.0 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA182M300W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka182m300w) | 300 W | -30 W, lighter, +9.0 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M320W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m320w) | 320 W | -10 W, lighter, +9.0 pp | | [SunEvo Solar SE5-40HBD-320W](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunevo-solar-se5-40hbd-320w) | 320 W | -10 W, -0.4 pp | | [SunEvo Solar SE5-40HBD-325W](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunevo-solar-se5-40hbd-325w) | 325 W | -0.2 pp | | [SunEvo Solar SE5-40HBD-335W](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunevo-solar-se5-40hbd-335w) | 335 W | +0.2 pp | | [SunEvo Solar SE5-40HBD-340W](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunevo-solar-se5-40hbd-340w) | 340 W | +10 W, +0.4 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-560M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-560m) | 560 W | +230 W, cooler, +10.8 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-555M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-555m) | 555 W | +225 W, cooler, +10.6 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVHL-550M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvhl-550m) | 550 W | +220 W, lighter, +10.4 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/sunevo-solar-se5-40hbd-330w 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.
