Efficiency leader, weak in heat
The HYPERSOL VSMDH.72.AAA.05 series from Vikram Solar was designed for commercial installations and utility-scale PV plants, where every watt of generated energy counts. The panels use N-Type half-cut cells, which translates into higher energy conversion efficiency and better performance under partial shading and low irradiance conditions. The glass-glass bifacial construction allows for additional energy harvest from light reflected off the ground, increasing the total energy yield of the installation without enlarging the roof or ground footprint. The series stands out for its low power degradation over time, thanks to high resistance to PID, LID, and LeTID effects, resulting in stable energy production throughout the entire service life. An additional advantage is zero negative power tolerance, which reduces the risk of losses caused by module mismatch within series strings. The manufacturer backs the series with a 30-year performance warranty, giving investors confidence in the long-term return on their investment. Thanks to a low temperature coefficient, the panels maintain high efficiency even on hot days, making them a solid choice for installers looking to reduce BoS costs and lower the project's LCOE.

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 605 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.
