The panel is based on **half-cut N-Type cells**, giving it better performance under low irradiance, partial shading, and diffuse light conditions, which translates into higher energy yield in the imperfect real-world conditions typical of the Polish climate. Its double-glass construction with **bifacial technology** captures additional light reflected from the ground, boosting total energy production without increasing the installation footprint. The manufacturer also implemented **zero negative power tolerance**, removing the risk of underdelivered rated output and simplifying precise string design. Another key strength is its **resistance to PID, LID, and LeTID**, the degradation mechanisms responsible for premature power loss in lower-quality modules. The whole series is backed by a **30-year linear power warranty**, making it a dependable choice for both residential installations and larger commercial projects where predictable return on investment matters most. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 22.4% matches the \*\*N-type 450-500W\*\* median - Power density of 224.4 W/m² matches the \*\*N-type 450-500W\*\* median - At -0.28%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for \*\*N-type 450-500W\*\* panels - Weight of 28.1 kg is 4.4 kg above \*\*N-type 450-500W\*\* median (23.7 kg) - verify structural support - 75% bifaciality enables rear-side power generation, boosting yield by 4-11% on reflective surfaces ## Questions ### What warranty comes with Vikram Solar Hypersol VSMDH.60.AAA.05 panels? The series comes with a 12-year product warranty covering material and workmanship defects, plus a 30-year linear power warranty. This means a predictable, gradual output decline spread over three decades rather than sudden drops after 10-12 years, as seen in cheaper modules. For commercial installation investors, this schedule makes ROI forecasting and maintenance planning more accurate. ### Is the Hypersol VSMDH.60.AAA.05 series still available for purchase? No, this series has been discontinued from Vikram Solar's active production lineup and replaced by newer, higher-power Hypersol variants. Availability is now limited to remaining distributor stock. Anyone planning to expand an existing installation with the identical model should be prepared to switch to a similarly specced panel from the current product line. ### What does bifacial technology add to the Hypersol VSMDH.60.AAA.05, and is it worth the extra cost? The dual-glass bifacial construction lets the rear side of the module capture reflected light from the roof, ground, or a bright surface, boosting energy yield without enlarging the installation footprint. The effect is strongest over light-colored surfaces such as white roofing or gravel, and in ground-mount setups with adequate clearance. On a typical dark roof-mount installation, the gain is more modest but still measurable. ### How do the N-type half-cut cells in the Hypersol VSMDH.60.AAA.05 differ from standard PERC cells? N-Type cells are less prone to light-induced degradation and hold their performance more stably over time than common P-type PERC cells. The half-cut design reduces resistive losses and improves module behavior under partial shading, such as from a chimney or antenna. In practice, this translates into higher real-world yield under low or diffuse light conditions, common in temperate climates like Poland's. ### Are Hypersol VSMDH.60.AAA.05 panels resistant to PID and LID degradation? Yes, the manufacturer specifies resistance to three key degradation mechanisms: PID, LID, and LeTID. This lowers the risk of premature power loss linked to high system voltage, initial light exposure, or elevated operating temperature. It matters most for installers designing long, high-voltage strings, where PID tends to be a bigger issue in lower-cost modules. ### Is Vikram Solar a reliable Tier 1 manufacturer, and where does the Hypersol VSMDH.60.AAA.05 series come from? Yes, Vikram Solar is an Indian manufacturer classified as Tier 1, reflecting financial stability and the capacity to honor large-scale warranty commitments. The company has produced modules for years and supplies both residential and commercial installations worldwide. Its Indian origin can be relevant for projects with supply-chain diversification requirements outside China, such as certain public tenders. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/HYPERSOL-M10-460-485W-120-CELLS-1-9945f1d677fe.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.6 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.4 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-505M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-505m) | 505 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.3 pp | | [WINAICO WST-505BKX54-A2](https://comparepv.com/panel/winaico-wst-505bkx54-a2) | 505 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.3 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A490-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a490-mce54mw) | 490 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.1 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-500m) | 500 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.1 pp | | [Talesun CIPRO-TN9C54M-500W](https://comparepv.com/panel/talesun-cipro-tn9c54m-500w) | 500 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.1 pp | | [Vikram Solar PREXOS VSMDHT.60.420.05](https://comparepv.com/panel/vikram-solar-prexos-vsmdht-60-420-05) | 420 W | -65 W, hotter, -3.0 pp | | [Vikram Solar PREXOS VSMDHT.60.425.05](https://comparepv.com/panel/vikram-solar-prexos-vsmdht-60-425-05) | 425 W | -60 W, hotter, -2.8 pp | | [Vikram Solar PREXOS VSMDHT.60.430.05](https://comparepv.com/panel/vikram-solar-prexos-vsmdht-60-430-05) | 430 W | -55 W, hotter, -2.6 pp | | [Vikram Solar PREXOS VSMDHT.60.435.05](https://comparepv.com/panel/vikram-solar-prexos-vsmdht-60-435-05) | 435 W | -50 W, hotter, -2.3 pp | | [Vikram Solar PREXOS VSMDHT.60.440.05](https://comparepv.com/panel/vikram-solar-prexos-vsmdht-60-440-05) | 440 W | -45 W, hotter, -2.1 pp | | [Vikram Solar PREXOS VSMDHT.60.445.05](https://comparepv.com/panel/vikram-solar-prexos-vsmdht-60-445-05) | 445 W | Hotter, lighter, -1.9 pp | | [Vikram Solar PREXOS VSMDHT.60.450.05](https://comparepv.com/panel/vikram-solar-prexos-vsmdht-60-450-05) | 450 W | Hotter, lighter, -1.6 pp | | [Vikram Solar HYPERSOL VSMDH.60.460.05](https://comparepv.com/panel/vikram-solar-hypersol-vsmdh-60-460-05) | 460 W | -25 W, -1.2 pp | | [Vikram Solar HYPERSOL VSMDH.60.465.05](https://comparepv.com/panel/vikram-solar-hypersol-vsmdh-60-465-05) | 465 W | -20 W, -0.9 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-560M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-560m) | 560 W | +75 W, lighter, +2.4 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/vikram-solar-hypersol-vsmdh-60-485-05 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.
