The use of **120 half-cut cells** helps to minimize resistive losses and improve performance under partial shading - which is important on typical roofs with chimneys, skylights, and ventilation systems. Compared to many budget-friendly solutions, it stands out due to its **bifacial technology**, which allows you to "capture" additional energy from reflected light - particularly on bright roofs, ground-mounted structures, and carports. The modules are designed for use in modern projects thanks to **compatibility with systems up to 1500 V**, which makes it easier to optimize longer strings and cabling. In practice, the series solves the problem of reduced output in hot weather thanks to **stable temperature performance**, and increases the certainty of the investment through **long-term power warranty**. It is a good choice for premium home installations, small businesses, and PV farms, where predictable output and flexible installation are important. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 19.5% matches the \*\*PERC 0-400W\*\* median - Power density of 194.6 W/m² matches the \*\*PERC 0-400W\*\* median - At -0.35%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for \*\*PERC 0-400W\*\* panels - #12656 for efficiency, #10419 for temperature performance out of 14005 panels ## Questions ### What is the warranty on TPL Solar TPLM-120HC 350W-370W panels? The TPLM-120HC series comes with a 12-year product warranty and a 30-year linear power output warranty. This means the manufacturer covers material and workmanship defects for 12 years, while the module's power degradation over time is guaranteed across three decades, giving a solid basis for long-term return on investment calculations. ### Are TPLM-120HC panels still available for purchase? No, the TPLM-120HC 350W-370W series has been discontinued by TPL Solar. Availability is now limited to remaining distributor stock, so if you're expanding an existing installation, check stock levels in advance, since sourcing identical matching modules later may not be possible. ### What does half-cut technology in the TPLM-120HC modules mean, and does it deliver a real yield gain? Half-cut means the 120 standard monocrystalline cells are split in half, which lowers current per cell string and reduces resistive losses. In practice, the module handles partial shading better, for example from a chimney or antenna, and runs slightly cooler during operation, resulting in more stable energy yield throughout the day. ### How do TPLM-120HC panels perform in high summer temperatures? The modules use PERC cells in a half-cut layout, which limits localized heating within each cell segment and reduces the typical efficiency drop seen during heat waves. As a result, the installation maintains a more predictable energy yield on hot, sunny days compared to older full-cell designs. ### Who manufactures TPL Solar TPLM-120HC panels, and is it a Tier 1 manufacturer? The manufacturer is TPL Solar, headquartered in Pakistan. The brand is not listed as Tier 1 under the Bloomberg NEF classification, meaning it has a shorter track record of bank-financed large-scale projects, though this doesn't disqualify the modules for residential use or smaller commercial installations where price and specifications matter most. ### Are TPLM-120HC panels compatible with 1500 V systems used in solar farms? Yes, the series is compatible with systems operating up to 1500 V, allowing longer panel strings and reducing the number of inverters and the amount of DC cabling required. This simplifies design for both smaller PV farms and larger commercial installations, lowering balance-of-system costs. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/5f607bcec4478-9f2be5dbbe19.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [JA Solar NS-330MH-80](https://comparepv.com/panel/ja-solar-ns-330mh-80) | 330 W | Cooler, lighter, +3.6 pp | | [PolyCrown Solar Tech NS-330MH-80](https://comparepv.com/panel/polycrown-solar-tech-ns-330mh-80) | 330 W | Cooler, lighter, +3.6 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M320W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m320w) | 320 W | -40 W, lighter, +3.5 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M340W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m340w) | 340 W | -20 W, lighter, +3.5 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M360W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m360w) | 360 W | Lighter, +3.5 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M380W (1/4\*4\*38)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m380w-1-4-4-38) | 380 W | +20 W, lighter, +3.5 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M400W (1/2\*4\*20)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m400w-1-2-4-20) | 400 W | +40 W, lighter, +3.5 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M400W (1/4\*4\*40)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m400w-1-4-4-40) | 400 W | +40 W, lighter, +3.5 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M380W (1/2\*4\*19)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m380w-1-2-4-19) | 380 W | +20 W, lighter, +3.5 pp | | [Maxeon SPR-MAX3-400-COM](https://comparepv.com/panel/maxeon-spr-max3-400-com) | 400 W | Cooler, +3.1 pp, +10 yr warranty | | [TPL Solar TPL-350M-120HC](https://comparepv.com/panel/tpl-solar-tpl-350m-120hc) | 350 W | -10 W, -0.6 pp | | [TPL Solar TPL-355M-120HC](https://comparepv.com/panel/tpl-solar-tpl-355m-120hc) | 355 W | -0.3 pp | | [TPL Solar TPL-365M-120HC](https://comparepv.com/panel/tpl-solar-tpl-365m-120hc) | 365 W | +0.2 pp | | [TPL Solar TPL-370M-120HC](https://comparepv.com/panel/tpl-solar-tpl-370m-120hc) | 370 W | +10 W, +0.5 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | +150 W, cooler, +5.5 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | +135 W, cooler, +5.3 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/tpl-solar-tpl-360m-120hc Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
