The use of **N-type cells in the TOPCon technology** helps to minimize typical power losses seen in older solutions, while also improving long-term stability. In practice, this means more predictable performance and easier cost planning. The EVO 5N modules utilize **half-cut design** and **multi-busbar architecture (SMBB/MBB)**, which supports better performance under partial shading and reduces the risk of microcracks that can affect performance. **Bifacial** variants also allow for additional energy recovery from reflected light - particularly on bright roofs, ground, or in industrial installations. This series is for demanding prosumers, companies, and PV farms that want to invest in more modern technology and **longer-term performance guarantees** rather than compromising on the performance of P-type panels. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 23.0% matches the \*\*HJT 450-500W\*\* median - Power density of 230.4 W/m² matches the \*\*HJT 450-500W\*\* median - At -0.26%/°C, loses 0.02pp more power per degree than \*\*HJT 450-500W\*\* median (-0.24%/°C) - 90% bifaciality enables rear-side power generation, boosting yield by 4-14% on reflective surfaces - In the top 12% for efficiency among all HJT panels ## Questions ### What warranty does the SunEvo Solar EVO 5N series come with? The EVO 5N series includes a 25-year product warranty covering defects and workmanship, along with a 30-year linear power output warranty. This is among the longer warranty packages available in the PV module market and reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the long-term stability of the TOPCon cell technology. Before purchasing, confirm with your local distributor that warranty claims can be serviced in your country. ### How do TOPCon cells in the EVO 5N compare to older P-type PERC panels? N-type TOPCon cells offer a lower temperature coefficient and greater resistance to PID (Potential Induced Degradation) compared to P-type PERC cells. In practice, this means higher energy production on hot days, lower annual power degradation, and more stable long-term output — particularly important over a 25-to-30-year investment horizon. ### Do EVO 5N panels perform well under partial shading from a chimney or dormer window? Yes. The EVO 5N series combines a half-cut cell design with a multi-busbar SMBB/MBB interconnection architecture. This limits the impact of partial shading on the rest of the module — shading one cell string does not shut down the entire panel. This is especially relevant for rooftop systems with chimneys, dormers, or nearby structures casting shadows at different times of day. ### How many watts is the SunEvo Solar EVO 5N, and is it suitable for a residential rooftop? The top variant of the EVO 5N series reaches a peak power of 640 Wp. This output is typical of large commercial modules and utility-scale PV farms — the physical size and weight may require a reinforced roof structure. For residential prosumer installations, lower-wattage variants within the EVO 5N lineup are usually a better fit. Always consult your installer about roof load capacity and available power variants. ### Is SunEvo Solar a Tier 1 manufacturer, and does it matter when buying panels? SunEvo Solar is not listed among Tier 1 manufacturers according to Bloomberg NEF, meaning it has lower visibility in international financial rankings. The Tier 1 classification relates primarily to a manufacturer's bankability and creditworthiness, not directly to module quality. When purchasing, the key factors to verify are whether your distributor provides in-country warranty support and how long the brand has been active in the market. ### Are EVO 5N panels available in a bifacial version — can reflected light increase my energy yield? No — the SunEvo Solar EVO 5N series in its standard configuration is a monofacial module, meaning energy is captured from the front side only. If you are planning a ground-mounted system, installation on a light-colored rooftop, or a free-standing structure where albedo could boost yield, consider comparing this series with bifacial alternatives available from other product lines or manufacturers. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/Evo-5N-N-type-HJT-Bifacial-Dual-Glass-108-Half-Cells-430-450-772d6ed5b9b5.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | +45 W, lighter, +1.8 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A490-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a490-mce54mw) | 490 W | +40 W, lighter, +1.5 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-500m) | 500 W | +50 W, cooler, +1.5 pp | | [Talesun CIPRO-TN9C54M-500W](https://comparepv.com/panel/talesun-cipro-tn9c54m-500w) | 500 W | +50 W, lighter, +1.5 pp | | [Gokin GK-3-54HGb-500M](https://comparepv.com/panel/gokin-gk-3-54hgb-500m) | 500 W | +50 W, lighter, +1.5 pp | | [GCL GCL-NR10R/54BGDF](https://comparepv.com/panel/gcl-gcl-nr10r-54bgdf) | 500 W | +50 W, heavier, +1.5 pp | | [SunEvo Solar SE5-54H-400W](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunevo-solar-se5-54h-400w) | 400 W | -50 W, hotter, -2.5 pp | | [SunEvo Solar SE5-54H-405W](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunevo-solar-se5-54h-405w) | 405 W | Hotter, -2.3 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [SunEvo Solar SE5-54H-410W](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunevo-solar-se5-54h-410w) | 410 W | Hotter, -2.0 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [SunEvo Solar SE5-54H-415W](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunevo-solar-se5-54h-415w) | 415 W | Hotter, -1.7 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [SunEvo Solar SE5-54HBD-420](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunevo-solar-se5-54hbd-420) | 420 W | -30 W, hotter, -1.5 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | +60 W, cooler, +2.0 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-505M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-505m) | 505 W | +55 W, cooler, +1.7 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/sunevo-solar-se5-54hbd-450 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.
