Ultra X Plus is a solar panel series built around 210mm monocrystalline silicon cells, designed for large-scale commercial and industrial installations where every square meter of roof or ground space counts. The use of PERC technology combined with half-cut and SMBB cell design helps reduce current losses and improve heat dissipation, allowing the modules to perform reliably even under high temperatures and partial shading. The series is available in both monofacial and bifacial configurations, giving investors the flexibility to choose the solution best suited to a specific site and their goal of maximizing energy yield from the rear side of the panel. The large cell format translates into high power density per module, which meaningfully lowers the per-watt cost of the installation (BoS) and shortens installation time for the same panel count. This makes it a solution aimed primarily at installers of solar farms and utility-scale projects seeking high efficiency and lower LCOE without compromising on mechanical durability, confirmed by resistance to heavy snow and wind loads. Ultra X Plus thus combines production scale, proven cell technology, and configuration flexibility in one market-mature series.

Common questions

6 answered
What is the maximum power output of the Suntech Ultra X Plus panel?
Panels in the Ultra X Plus series reach a maximum power output of up to 675 Wp. This is achieved through large 210 mm silicon cells combined with half-cut and SMBB technology, which increase power density within the module. As a result, fewer panels are needed to reach the same installed capacity, shortening installation time and reducing mounting structure costs.
What is TOPCon technology used in the Ultra X Plus, and how does it differ from PERC?
TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) is a newer-generation cell technology than PERC, used in the Ultra X Plus series. An additional passivation layer on the rear side of the cell reduces carrier recombination, resulting in higher module efficiency and a smaller power loss at high temperatures compared to standard PERC panels. In practice, this means higher energy yield, especially during summer and under high irradiance.
What warranty comes with Suntech Ultra X Plus panels?
The manufacturer provides a 15-year product warranty covering material and workmanship defects, along with a 30-year linear power output warranty. This means the panel must maintain a guaranteed percentage of its initial power throughout its service life, and as a Tier 1 manufacturer, Suntech offers reliable after-sales support for the entire warranty period.
Is the Suntech Ultra X Plus a bifacial panel?
No, this specific variant of the Ultra X Plus series is a monofacial module, generating energy only from the front side. The manufacturer also offers this series in a bifacial version, but choosing between the two depends on the mounting type and site conditions - the monofacial version is best suited for rooftops and installations without reflective ground surfaces.
Is Suntech a reliable manufacturer, and what does Tier 1 status mean?
Suntech is a Chinese manufacturer with Tier 1 status according to BloombergNEF's classification, indicating financial stability, in-house production lines, and a proven track record of supplying modules to large-scale energy projects worldwide. For investors, Tier 1 status matters for bank financing, as lenders and insurers often require Tier 1 panels as a condition for approving project loans.
Are Ultra X Plus panels suitable for large-scale solar farms?
Yes, the Ultra X Plus series was designed for commercial, industrial, and utility-scale installations. The large cell format and power output of up to 675 Wp reduce the number of panels, support structures, and cabling needed for a given installed capacity, directly lowering Balance of System (BoS) costs and the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE).
