By utilizing both sides, they effectively capture reflections from bright surfaces, such as the roof, membranes, or gravel, which translates to higher output without increasing the installation area. The use of **N-type cells** helps maintain stable performance over time and reduces typical losses seen in older technologies, while the half-cut design supports **better performance under partial shading** and reduces the risk of localized overheating. The glass on both sides increases resistance to moisture, UV radiation, and temperature changes, making the TS-BGT72 suitable for more demanding environments and long-term operation. This series is focused on **durability and predictable output**. It is particularly suitable for commercial and industrial installations, large roofs, and PV farms, where energy balance, reliability, and profitability over the entire lifespan are crucial. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 22.5% matches the \*\*N-type 550-600W\*\* median - Power density of 224.5 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 31.5 kg is 2.0 kg above \*\*N-type 550-600W\*\* median (29.5 kg) - verify structural support - Bifacial design (80% factor) captures reflected light - adds 4-12% yield on ground-mount or white roof ## Questions ### How much extra energy does bifaciality add in the Sunova TS-BGT72 panels? Thanks to two-sided operation, TS-BGT72 modules can generate up to 25% more energy compared to a classic monofacial panel, depending on ground albedo. Best results are achieved on bright gravel, roofing membranes, or ground-mount farms with reflective terrain. In practice, real gains typically fall in the 5-15% range, but bifacial operation alone improves the energy balance without increasing the installation footprint. ### How do the N-type cells in the TS-BGT72 differ from older PERC panels? N-type cells used in the TS-BGT72 series have a lower annual degradation rate (about 0.4%) than typical PERC panels, resulting in higher energy yield after many years of operation. N-type also handles LID effects and high temperatures better, allowing the module to maintain higher efficiency (up to 22.8%) throughout the period covered by the 30-year power warranty. ### What warranty comes with Sunova TS-BGT72 panels? The TS-BGT72 series is covered by a 15-year product warranty and a 30-year linear power warranty, guaranteeing at least 87.4% of initial power output after 30 years. This is standard for modern N-type modules and allows planning an installation with a long, predictable return on investment, especially for commercial projects and PV farms. ### Can TS-BGT72 panels withstand heavy snow and wind loads? Yes, the dual-glass construction of the TS-BGT72 module withstands wind loads up to 2400 Pa and snow loads up to 5400 Pa, making it suitable for harsher climates, including large industrial rooftops and regions with heavy snowfall. Glass on both sides also increases mechanical resistance and reduces the risk of microcracks compared to constructions using a rear-side backsheet. ### Does the half-cut technology in the TS-BGT72 help with partial shading? Yes, splitting the 144 cells into halves in a half-cut layout reduces the impact of partial shading, for example from chimneys, antennas, or nearby buildings, by lowering power losses in the shaded segment of the module. This design also reduces the risk of hot spots, extending panel lifespan and improving installation safety over time. ### Are Sunova TS-BGT72 panels suitable for large commercial installations and PV farms? Yes, the TS-BGT72 series, with power up to 590 Wp, is designed for large-scale installations - large industrial roofs and PV farms - where the energy balance per square meter and low annual degradation matter most. High module power reduces the number of panels, mounting structures, and cabling needed to reach the target system capacity, lowering BoS costs. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/ts-bgt72-570-590-8456b09875f4.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-560M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-560m) | 560 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.3 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-555M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-555m) | 555 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.1 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A630-MAH72Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a630-mah72dw) | 630 W | +50 W, cooler, +1.9 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVHL-550M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvhl-550m) | 550 W | -30 W, 15 kg lighter, +1.9 pp | | [JA Solar JAT60S40-540/LR](https://comparepv.com/panel/ja-solar-jat60s40-540-lr) | 540 W | -40 W, lighter, +1.9 pp | | [Sunova RS535~555S8-144GA (535W)](https://comparepv.com/panel/thornova-rs535-555s8-144ga-535w) | 535 W | -45 W, hotter, -1.8 pp | | [Sunova TS-BG72(540)](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunova-ts-bg72-540) | 540 W | -40 W, hotter, -1.6 pp | | [Sunova TS-BW72(545)](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunova-ts-bw72-545) | 545 W | Hotter, -1.4 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [AIKO AIKO-A650-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a650-mae72mw) | 650 W | +70 W, lighter, +2.7 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A645-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a645-mae72mw) | 645 W | +65 W, lighter, +2.5 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A640-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a640-mae72mw) | 640 W | +60 W, lighter, +2.3 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A635-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a635-mae72mw) | 635 W | +55 W, lighter, +2.1 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/sunova-ts-bgt72-580 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.
