Efficiency leader, no clear weak spot
The HYPERSOL G12R series from Vikram Solar is a lineup of bifacial photovoltaic modules built on N-type TOPCon technology, addressing the growing demand from investors for higher energy yields on limited roof or ground space. The panels feature half-cut cells mounted on a rectangular G12R wafer, combined with a 16 busbar layout that reduces resistive losses and improves current distribution across the module. A defining trait of the series is its high bifaciality, allowing the module to capture additional energy reflected off the ground surface, which translates into a lower levelized cost of energy (LCOE) over the system's lifetime. The manufacturer also highlights stable performance under high temperatures, making this series an attractive option for installations in warmer climates or sites exposed to intense summer irradiance. Optimized use of shipping container space helps cut logistics costs, while the materials used align with the industry's push toward recyclability and sustainability. HYPERSOL G12R is primarily aimed at utility-scale, commercial, and industrial projects where predictable, long-term performance and lower operating costs throughout the system's service life are the priority.
Ranking
Signals from the data
Utility-scale, commercial, hot-climate and shaded-installations.
Top 10% of the N-type 600-650 W segment, against a median of 22.77%. Ranked 696th in the whole database.
Top 12% of the N-type 600-650 W segment, against a median of 227.7.
- Efficiency of 23.5% is 0.7pp above the N-type 600-650W median (22.8%)
- 235.1 W/m² power density - 7.4 W/m² more than N-type 600-650W median (227.7 W/m²), more power per roof area
- At -0.29%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for N-type 600-650W panels
- Bifacial design (75% factor) captures reflected light - adds 4-11% yield on ground-mount or white roof
- #696 for efficiency, #2165 for temperature performance out of 14005 panels

Datasheet charts
Measured curves published by Vikram Solar in this model's datasheet. A chart carrying a wattage was measured on that variant alone - only the ones that describe 635 Wp appear here. The rest cover the whole series.
Simulations
Degradation from this panel's own datasheet figures. No inverter, soiling or shading losses.
Model: bifaciality × albedo × 0.6 view factor. A first-order estimate, not a yield simulation.
