Thanks to the use of N-type cells, these panels are characterized by significantly lower annual degradation and a much better response to diffused light, which translates into higher energy yields even on cloudy days typical for our climate. **Full Black aesthetics** make the modules blend perfectly with modern architecture, eliminating the problem of unsightly silver elements on the roof surface. They solve the key problem of limited mounting space by offering high power density from every square meter of the installation. Additionally, the technology used effectively minimizes the risk of the LID effect, ensuring the stability of technical parameters for many decades of use. This is a choice dedicated to demanding investors seeking **maximum reliability and elegance** in one product. What sets them apart from the competition is an exceptionally favorable **low temperature coefficient**, which allows the modules to operate very efficiently on hot summer afternoons without drastic drops in power output. Sunova Tangra M Black skillfully combines technological innovation with attention to finishing details, becoming a solid foundation for premium-class home systems. ## Notable figures - At 22.6% efficiency, this panel is on par with typical \*\*N-type 550-600W\*\* modules - Power density of 226.5 W/m² matches the \*\*N-type 550-600W\*\* median - At -0.29%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for \*\*N-type 550-600W\*\* panels - Weight of 27.2 kg (2.3 kg below \*\*N-type 550-600W\*\* median of 29.5 kg) allows easier transport and roof mounting - 80% bifaciality enables rear-side power generation, boosting yield by 4-12% on reflective surfaces ## Questions ### How does N-type TOPCon technology in Sunova Tangra M Black panels differ from standard P-type cells? The N-type TOPCon cells used in Tangra M Black have lower annual degradation and better response to diffuse light than common P-type PERC cells. In practice, this means higher energy yields on cloudy days and more stable power output throughout the system's lifetime, translating into a higher real return on investment compared to older cell technologies. ### What does it mean that Sunova Tangra M Black panels are bifacial, and is it worth it? Bifacial panels capture energy from both the front and rear side of the module, using light reflected off the ground, roof surface, or a bright facade. When mounted on a light-colored roof or a ground-mount structure, this can add several percent of extra annual energy yield without increasing the installation footprint, shortening the payback period. ### What warranty comes with Sunova Tangra M Black panels? Sunova provides a 15-year product warranty and a 30-year linear power warranty on the Tangra M Black module. This means the manufacturer guarantees the panel's performance level over three decades, which is standard for modern N-type modules and gives investors confidence in long-term system stability. ### Are 600 Wp Sunova Tangra M Black panels suitable for a home microinstallation? Yes, the 600 Wp maximum power rating delivers high power density per square meter of roof, which is especially beneficial when mounting space is limited, as is typical for single-family homes. Fewer panels are needed to reach the target system capacity, which also reduces mounting hardware and installation costs. ### Does the Full Black aesthetic of Tangra M Black panels affect their performance? No, the black frame and black cell backing in the Full Black version are a purely aesthetic choice, matched to modern architecture and eliminating visible silver elements on the roof. The N-type TOPCon technology and low temperature coefficient ensure full performance regardless of finish color, even on hot summer days. ### Who manufactures Sunova panels, and is it a Tier 1 manufacturer? Sunova is a manufacturer headquartered in China that does not appear on the Bloomberg NEF Tier 1 list. This does not indicate lower technical quality, but when choosing this brand it's worth checking the local distributor and warranty service conditions in Poland, since Tier 1 status mainly reflects a manufacturer's financial standing rather than product parameters. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/Tangra_M_Black_TS-BBT72580-600_v20241226us-31892a4d3959.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-560M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-560m) | 560 W | -25 W, cooler, +2.2 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-555M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-555m) | 555 W | -30 W, cooler, +2.0 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A635-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a635-mae72mw) | 635 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.0 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A630-MAH72Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a630-mah72dw) | 630 W | +45 W, heavier, +1.8 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVHL-550M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvhl-550m) | 550 W | -35 W, lighter, +1.8 pp | | [Sunova RS535~555S8-144GA (535W)](https://comparepv.com/panel/thornova-rs535-555s8-144ga-535w) | 535 W | Hotter, heavier, -1.9 pp | | [Sunova TS-BG72(540)](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunova-ts-bg72-540) | 540 W | -45 W, heavier, -1.7 pp | | [Sunova TS-BW72(545)](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunova-ts-bw72-545) | 545 W | Hotter, -1.5 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [AIKO AIKO-A650-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a650-mae72mw) | 650 W | +65 W, cooler, +2.6 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A645-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a645-mae72mw) | 645 W | +60 W, cooler, +2.4 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A640-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a640-mae72mw) | 640 W | +55 W, cooler, +2.2 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/sunova-ts-bbt72-585 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.
