The Sunova TS-BWT66-G12 series consists of modules designed to maximize energy yield from the same surface area - particularly in situations where every square meter of roof or ground space is valuable. The use of a bifacial design allows for the utilization of reflected light from the ground, which significantly improves energy production in ground-mounted systems, on flat roofs, and on light-colored surfaces. A key advantage is the TOPCon N-type cell technology, which minimizes losses and helps maintain high efficiency even in challenging operating conditions.

In comparison to competitors, it stands out due to its stable performance at high temperatures and good efficiency even with reduced sunlight - which is important in the Polish climate, where cloudy days and variable conditions are the norm. The series is also designed for long-term profitability thanks to extended power warranties, which makes it easier to plan the return on investment.

It is a good choice for PV farms, large commercial rooftops, and investors who want to extract more energy without expanding the size of their installations.

Common questions

6 answered
Are Sunova TS-BWT66-G12 panels suitable for flat roofs?
Yes, the bifacial design of this series works especially well on flat roofs, where modules are mounted at an angle that allows reflected light from a light-colored surface to reach the rear side of the panel. This can provide an additional energy yield without expanding the installation footprint, which matters when roof space is limited.
What warranty applies to Sunova TS-BWT66-G12 panels?
The manufacturer offers a 15-year product warranty and a 30-year power warranty, guaranteeing a minimum performance level over the module's lifetime. This warranty structure helps investors plan their return on investment and is consistent with what is expected from modern N-type modules.
How does TOPCon cell technology differ from standard PERC cells?
The N-type TOPCon cells used in the TS-BWT66-G12 series have lower recombination losses than traditional P-type PERC cells, resulting in higher efficiency and a smaller power drop at high temperatures. In practice this means more stable energy output in summer and better performance under low-irradiance conditions, such as cloudy days.
What is the maximum power output of the TS-BWT66-G12 series?
Modules in this series reach up to 720 Wp, placing them among high-power modules intended mainly for large-scale installations such as PV farms and extensive commercial or industrial rooftops. A higher per-module power output reduces the number of panels needed to reach a target system capacity.
Do Sunova bifacial panels require special mounting?
To fully utilize bifacial technology, modules are best mounted on structures that allow light to reach the rear side, such as elevated ground-mount racking or light-colored reflective roof surfaces. Standard mounting on a typical sloped roof is also possible, though the dual-sided energy gain will be more limited in that case.
Is Sunova a Tier 1 manufacturer?
Sunova, headquartered in China, is not currently listed among Tier 1 manufacturers, which is worth considering when assessing project financing risk, for example when applying for a loan or lease. This does not directly affect the module's technical specifications or the terms of the product and power warranty.
