The SunKean SKT385~410M10 series are modules in an all black version, designed for a consistently uniform appearance in installations, without compromising performance in real rooftop conditions. The use of monocrystalline PERC cells and a half-cut construction improves performance under partial shading - when the shadow from a chimney, antenna, or trees "cuts off" the sunlight, the panel maintains a more stable output than traditional solutions. Furthermore, the MBB multi-junction technology supports reliable connections and reduces current losses, resulting in more predictable energy yields over the course of a season.

This is a good option for single-family homes, carports, and projects where aesthetics are important (e.g., dark roofing tiles, modern facades, BIPV). Compared to many other "full black" panels, this series stands out for its combination of appearance with a focus on lower BOS costs and easier adaptation to popular installation layouts in Poland.

About the SKT385~410M10 series

6 answered

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

Is the SunKean SKT385~410M10 series still available for purchase?
The SKT385~410M10 series has been discontinued and is no longer actively manufactured by SunKean. Some distributors may still carry stock units, but availability is limited and sourcing additional panels to expand or repair an existing system in the future could be difficult. For new installations, consider currently produced modules from the same technology family.
What warranty does the SunKean SKT385~410M10 series carry?
The manufacturer provides a 15-year product warranty covering material and workmanship defects, plus a 30-year linear power warranty. After 30 years of operation, the module is guaranteed to retain at least 80.68% of its rated output. These are competitive terms for this class of PERC modules and support predictable energy yield calculations over the system's full lifetime.
What does bifacial mean for the SKT385~410M10 and is it worth paying extra for a rooftop installation?
Bifacial cells absorb light from both the front and rear side of the module. On dark roof tiles the gain is minimal because the surface absorbs most reflected radiation. Real bifacial benefits come from ground-mount or carport installations with light-colored ground surfaces where reflected irradiance reaches the rear glass. On a typical pitched roof, bifaciality is mainly a marketing advantage rather than a financial one.
How do half-cut cells and the 10-busbar MBB design affect performance under partial shading?
Half-cut cells split the module into two independent electrical strings, so shading one half does not fully block the output of the other. The 10-busbar MBB layout shortens the current path, reducing resistive losses. The combined result is a more stable energy output when shadows from chimneys, satellite antennas, or trees fall across only part of the module's surface.
Do the SunKean SKT385~410M10 all-black panels suit dark roof tiles and modern facades?
Yes, the SKT385~410M10 series features a full all-black aesthetic - black frame, black backsheet, and black cell grid - creating a uniform, visually integrated appearance. It pairs well with dark ceramic tiles, bitumen shingles, and contemporary building facades. This is one of the main reasons the series was recommended for BIPV projects and homes where the visual integration of the PV system is as important as its performance.
What are the dimensions and weight of the SunKean SKT385~410M10 - are standard racking systems compatible?
The module measures approximately 1724×1134×30 mm and weighs around 20.5 kg. These are standard dimensions for a 108-cell, 182 mm format module. Conventional aluminum racking systems available in Europe are typically rated for this size and do not require custom structures. Always verify the roof's load-bearing capacity with an installer or structural engineer before proceeding.
