Thanks to **half-cut N-type G12 cells**, these panels reduce current-mismatch losses across the string, resulting in more stable performance for the entire array. What sets this series apart is its **bifaciality of up to 80 percent**, allowing it to capture additional energy reflected from the ground, which is especially valuable in ground-mount installations and light-colored surfaces. The manufacturer also implemented a **zero negative power tolerance**, so the actual output of installed panels never falls below the stated nominal value. A design resistant to PID, LID, and LeTID degradation ensures better durability under demanding operating conditions, while an independently verified hail test confirms the strong mechanical resistance of the front glass. Backed by a **30-year linear power warranty**, this series is an attractive choice for both commercial rooftop projects and large utility-scale solar farms, where a low LCOE and predictable long-term performance matter most. ## Notable figures - At 22.4% efficiency, this panel is 0.9pp below the \*\*N-type 650-700W\*\* median of 23.3% - 223.7 W/m² power density is 9.5 W/m² below \*\*N-type 650-700W\*\* median (233.2 W/m²) - requires larger installation area - At -0.28%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for \*\*N-type 650-700W\*\* panels - At 39.5 kg (6.0 kg above \*\*N-type 650-700W\*\* median of 33.5 kg), requires checking roof load capacity - 80% bifaciality enables rear-side power generation, boosting yield by 4-12% on reflective surfaces ## Questions ### What is the warranty on Vikram Solar HYPERSOL VSMDH.66.AAA.05 modules? The series comes with a standard 12-year product warranty and a 30-year linear power warranty, guaranteeing high energy output even after three decades of operation. This is one of the longer warranty periods on the market, making the model an attractive choice for commercial installations and PV farms where predictable long-term ROI matters. ### What benefit does the up to 80% bifaciality of the HYPERSOL VSMDH.66.AAA.05 panels provide? Thanks to the glass-glass construction and a bifaciality factor of up to 80%, the rear side of the module captures additional light reflected from the ground, roof, or surroundings. In ground-mount installations, on light gravel, white roofs, or agri-PV farms, this can boost energy yield by several percent compared to monofacial panels, without increasing the installed footprint. ### How do N-type half-cut G12 cells differ from classic PERC cells? N-type cells have lower light-induced degradation (LID) and light- and elevated temperature-induced degradation (LeTID), plus higher efficiency than older P-type PERC cells. The half-cut format in the G12 size splits each cell in half, reducing current losses and internal resistance, improving module performance under partial shading, and boosting total panel power up to 720 Wp. ### Are the HYPERSOL VSMDH.66.AAA.05 panels suitable for large solar farms? Yes, the high unit power of 720 Wp combined with bifaciality and resistance to PID, LID, and LeTID make this series designed for large ground-mount and commercial installations where a low levelized cost of energy (LCOE) per watt matters. Fewer modules are needed to reach a given capacity, lowering mounting structure, cabling, and installation labor costs. ### What does zero negative power tolerance mean for these panels? Zero negative power tolerance means the actual output of every manufactured panel is never lower than the value stated on the label — it can only be equal to or slightly higher. For investors, this guarantees that the purchased system capacity will be fully delivered, removing the risk of underestimated energy production from day one. ### Is Vikram Solar a proven manufacturer, and where are HYPERSOL panels made? Vikram Solar is an Indian PV module manufacturer with Tier 1 classification, confirming its financial stability and production track record as recognized by market analysts such as BloombergNEF. HYPERSOL VSMDH.66.AAA.05 panels are manufactured in India, and their PID-, LID-, and LeTID-resistant construction along with a passed independent hail impact test confirm solid build quality. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/HYPERSOL-G12-695-720W-132-CELLS-d16a6f45a332.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [AIKO AIKO-A650-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a650-mae72mw) | 650 W | -45 W, lighter, +2.8 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A680-MDE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a680-mde72mw) | 680 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.8 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A675-MDE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a675-mde72mw) | 675 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.6 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A645-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a645-mae72mw) | 645 W | -50 W, lighter, +2.6 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A700-MAE78Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a700-mae78dw) | 700 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.6 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A695-MAE78Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a695-mae78dw) | 695 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.5 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-G670-MCH72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-g670-mch72mw) | 670 W | -25 W, lighter, +2.4 pp | | [Vikram Solar PARADEA VSMDH.66.AAA.05-655](https://comparepv.com/panel/vikram-solar-paradea-vsmdh-66-aaa-05-655) | 655 W | -40 W, hotter, -1.3 pp | | [Vikram Solar PARADEA VSMDH.66.AAA.05-660](https://comparepv.com/panel/vikram-solar-paradea-vsmdh-66-aaa-05-660) | 660 W | -35 W, hotter, -1.1 pp | | [Vikram Solar PARADEA VSMDH.66.AAA.05-665](https://comparepv.com/panel/vikram-solar-paradea-vsmdh-66-aaa-05-665) | 665 W | -30 W, hotter, -1.0 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A805-GRH78Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a805-grh78dw) | 805 W | +110 W, cooler, +2.7 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A800-GRH78Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a800-grh78dw) | 800 W | +105 W, cooler, +2.5 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A795-GRH78Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a795-grh78dw) | 795 W | +100 W, cooler, +2.4 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A790-GRH78Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a790-grh78dw) | 790 W | +95 W, cooler, +2.2 pp | | [Trina Solar TSM-NEG21C.20Q-760](https://comparepv.com/panel/trina-solar-tsm-neg21c-20q-760) | 760 W | +65 W, cooler, +2.1 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A785-GRH78Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a785-grh78dw) | 785 W | +90 W, cooler, +2.0 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/vikram-solar-hypersol-vsmdh-66-aaa-05-695 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.
