The use of a **half-cut** architecture and a **multi-busbar** layout minimizes losses at connections and improves module performance under partial shading, which is particularly important on roofs with chimneys, skylights, or complex geometries. The modules utilize **monocrystalline** cells based on **TOPCon** or advanced PERC technology - this allows for better performance at higher temperatures and slower degradation over time. **Bifacial** variants can also "collect" light reflected from the ground, resulting in higher yields in PV farms, on flat roofs, and on ground-mounted structures with light-colored surfaces. EVO5 SE5-72H is a good choice for installers and investors who want to combine high production, resistance to environmental conditions, and predictable operating parameters - without the compromises typical of cheaper competitors. ## Notable figures - At 21.3% efficiency, this panel is on par with typical \*\*PERC 500-550W\*\* modules - Power density of 210.9 W/m² matches the \*\*PERC 500-550W\*\* median - At -0.36%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for \*\*PERC 500-550W\*\* panels - 26.9 kg weight - 1.4 kg lighter than \*\*PERC 500-550W\*\* median (28.3 kg), reducing installation effort - In the top 61% for efficiency among all PERC panels ## Questions ### What warranty does SunEvo Solar offer on the EVO5 SE5-72H panels? SunEvo Solar provides a 12-year product warranty covering material and workmanship defects, along with a 25-year linear power output warranty. After 25 years the module should retain at least 80-87% of its rated output. These are standard terms for this market segment; always confirm the exact conditions with your local distributor and check whether additional warranty insurance is available. ### Are the SE5-72H panels suitable for a pitched roof with chimneys or dormers? Yes. The half-cut cell architecture and multi-busbar layout reduce the impact of partial shading - the module continues generating power more efficiently than a conventional panel when part of its surface is shaded by a chimney or dormer. The module weighs 26.9 kg and measures 2278×1134 mm, so plan the installation with an experienced contractor who has the right lifting equipment. ### What is PERC technology in the EVO5 SE5-72H and is it worth choosing? PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell) is a monocrystalline technology featuring an additional passivation layer on the rear side of the cell that reflects unabsorbed photons back into the silicon structure. This translates to a module efficiency of approximately 22% and slower power degradation over the system's lifetime. It is a proven, mature technology and a solid choice for rooftop and ground-mounted systems where the budget does not extend to premium TOPCon modules. ### How many SunEvo EVO5 SE5-72H panels do I need for a 10 kWp system? The top variant of the series delivers 560 Wp, so a 10 kWp system requires approximately 18 modules (18 × 560 W = 10,080 W). Check the availability of specific power bins (540-560 W) with your distributor - using modules from the same power bin within a single string minimizes mismatch losses and maximizes MPPT efficiency. ### Are the SunEvo Solar EVO5 SE5-72H panels bifacial? No. The EVO5 SE5-72H in this configuration is a monofacial (single-sided) module and does not harvest albedo light reflected from the ground. If you are planning a ground-mounted system with a light-colored surface or a flat roof where bifacial gain can add 10-20% additional yield, ask your distributor about the bifacial variant available within the same product family. ### Is SunEvo Solar a Tier 1 manufacturer, and does that affect my purchase decision? SunEvo Solar is not listed on the current Bloomberg NEF Tier 1 rankings, placing it among smaller manufacturers with a shorter market track record. This does not directly reflect the quality of any individual module, but it may be relevant for project financing - most lenders require Tier 1 suppliers - and for assessing long-term warranty execution risk. Consider choosing a distributor that offers a warranty backstop or securing independent warranty insurance. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/Evo5-Series-144-Half-Cells-540-560W-855446de2677.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | Cooler, +3.7 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | Cooler, lighter, +3.5 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-560M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-560m) | 560 W | Cooler, +3.5 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-505M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-505m) | 505 W | Cooler, +3.4 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [WINAICO WST-505BKX54-A2](https://comparepv.com/panel/winaico-wst-505bkx54-a2) | 505 W | Cooler, +3.4 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-555M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-555m) | 555 W | Cooler, +3.3 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-500m) | 500 W | Cooler, +3.2 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [SunEvo Solar SE5-72H-540W](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunevo-solar-se5-72h-540w) | 540 W | Very close match | | [SunEvo Solar SE5-72H-550W](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunevo-solar-se5-72h-550w) | 550 W | Very close match | | [SunEvo Solar SE5-72H-555W](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunevo-solar-se5-72h-555w) | 555 W | +10 W, +0.4 pp | | [SunEvo Solar SE5-72H-560W](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunevo-solar-se5-72h-560w) | 560 W | +15 W, +0.6 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A650-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a650-mae72mw) | 650 W | +105 W, cooler, +3.9 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A645-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a645-mae72mw) | 645 W | +100 W, cooler, +3.7 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A640-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a640-mae72mw) | 640 W | +95 W, cooler, +3.5 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A635-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a635-mae72mw) | 635 W | +90 W, cooler, +3.3 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A630-MAH72Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a630-mah72dw) | 630 W | +85 W, cooler, +3.1 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/sunevo-solar-se5-72h-545w Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
