The Talesun BIPRO™ TM8G60M (120-cell) is a glass-to-glass bifacial module engineered for maximum yield from every square meter of installation. The use of N-type TOPCon cells and bifacial construction effectively utilizes reflected light from the ground - particularly effective on light-colored roofs, membranes, and ground-mounted installations. Thanks to the half-cut technology with a dense busbar layout, the modules perform better under partial shading and in low-light conditions, facilitating design in challenging locations.

Amidst many competitive panels, this product stands out due to its focus on long-term reliability - limiting LID and LeTID degradation and featuring enhanced resistance to PID - ensuring predictable energy production for years to come. This makes it an excellent choice for utility-scale PV farms, large commercial rooftops, and investors focused on long-term energy cost savings, not just peak power output.

Common questions

6 answered
What is the maximum power output of the Talesun BIPRO TM8G60M (120-cell) panels?
The BIPRO TM8G60M series reaches up to 640 Wp maximum power output, with module efficiency of around 22.6%. This is achieved through 120 N-type TOPCon cells in a half-cut configuration with a dense busbar layout, which reduces current losses and improves energy yield per square meter compared to older PERC modules of similar dimensions.
How does the TOPCon technology in this series differ from standard PERC panels?
N-type TOPCon cells have a lower first-year degradation rate and slower power loss over subsequent years than conventional P-type PERC cells. They also handle high temperatures better and are less prone to LID and LeTID degradation, so the BIPRO TM8G60M module maintains higher energy production over the long term, especially in hot summer climates.
Are BIPRO TM8G60M panels suitable for ground-mount installations or flat roofs with a light-colored surface?
Yes, this is one of the main use cases for the series. Thanks to the bifacial glass-glass construction, the panel captures light reflected off the ground from its rear side, boosting total energy yield. The effect is strongest over light surfaces - white gravel, roofing membranes, or snow-covered ground - making it well suited to PV farms and large commercial rooftops.
What warranty does the Talesun BIPRO TM8G60M series come with, and what does it cover?
The manufacturer provides a 12-year product warranty covering material and workmanship defects, plus a 30-year power output warranty. This means guaranteed, gradually declining energy production over three decades - a longer period than the standard 25-year power warranties typically offered on older-generation PERC panels.
Do BIPRO TM8G60M modules perform well under partial shading, such as from a chimney or tree?
Yes, the half-cut cell design with a dense busbar layout splits cells into smaller segments, so shading part of the panel reduces overall module output less than it would with traditional full-cell panels. This makes it easier to design installations on sites with partial shade, though fully avoiding obstructions is still recommended for maximum yield.
Is Talesun a reliable manufacturer, and is the BIPRO TM8G60M series worth investing in?
Talesun is a Chinese manufacturer classified as Tier 1 by Bloomberg NEF, reflecting financial stability and long-standing experience in large-scale PV module production. The BIPRO TM8G60M series has not been discontinued and is currently actively offered, providing assurance of continued warranty support and spare parts availability going forward.
