The modules utilize **N-type cells in a half-cut configuration**, which supports higher efficiency and better performance in low-light conditions, while also minimizing typical aging losses seen in many standard designs. In practice, this translates to more reliable annual energy production and a more predictable return on investment. Compared to the competition, it stands out due to its **glass-glass bifacial construction**, which allows for energy harvesting from reflected light, as well as **high PID resistance and lower susceptibility to LID and LeTID** thanks to carefully selected materials and process control. Furthermore, the modules offer **0% negative power tolerance and current selectivity**, which reduces the risk of mismatch in strings. This is a good choice for PV farms, large commercial rooftops, and projects where durability, cost-effectiveness, and hassle-free operation are key. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 22.4% matches the \*\*HJT 550-600W\*\* median - At 224.5 W/m² power density, roof space requirements are typical for \*\*HJT 550-600W\*\* panels - At -0.28%/°C, loses 0.04pp more power per degree than \*\*HJT 550-600W\*\* median (-0.24%/°C) - Weight of 31.6 kg is typical for \*\*HJT 550-600W\*\* panels - Bifacial design (75% factor) captures reflected light - adds 4-11% yield on ground-mount or white roof ## Questions ### Are Vikram Solar HYPERSOL VSMDH.72.AAA.05 (580–605 W) panels still available to buy? The HYPERSOL VSMDH.72.AAA.05 series has been discontinued by Vikram Solar and replaced by newer models. Some stock may still be available through distributors, so it's worth confirming current inventory before ordering a large installation. The 12-year product warranty and 30-year power warranty remain valid for already purchased modules regardless of the production end-of-life. ### What is HJT technology used in the HYPERSOL cells, and does it really boost efficiency? HJT (heterojunction) combines crystalline silicon with thin amorphous layers, which reduces carrier recombination and keeps efficiency higher even at elevated module operating temperatures. In the HYPERSOL VSMDH.72.AAA.05 series this results in power up to 605 W with cell efficiency exceeding 23%, plus smaller output drops on hot days compared to standard PERC modules. ### What does the bifacial glass-glass construction mean, and how much extra energy does it provide? Bifacial glass-glass modules have active cells on both sides of the glass, so they also capture light reflected from the roof, ground, or any bright surface beneath the array. Depending on ground albedo and mounting height, this can add roughly several to over a dozen percent more annual energy compared to a monofacial module of the same nominal power. ### What warranty does the HYPERSOL VSMDH.72.AAA.05 series come with, and what does it cover? The manufacturer provides a 12-year product warranty and a 30-year linear power output warranty. This means the module should retain a large share of its rated power after 30 years of operation. This level of coverage is typical for top-tier bifacial glass-glass series and supports a more predictable long-term return on investment. ### Are HYPERSOL panels suitable for large commercial roofs and utility-scale PV farms? Yes, the series was designed with commercial and utility-scale installations in mind. The high per-module power, up to 605 W, reduces the number of panels needed to reach a target system capacity, lowering mounting structure and cabling costs. High PID resistance combined with low susceptibility to LID and LeTID ensure stable performance in large strings over many years of operation. ### How do HYPERSOL panels perform in cold temperatures and winter conditions? Solar panels, including the HYPERSOL series, actually operate more efficiently in cooler temperatures than in heat, since cell voltage rises as temperature drops. This series has a power temperature coefficient of about -0.28%/°C, better than typical PERC modules, meaning smaller power losses during summer heat and near-nominal power output during cold weather. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/HYPERSOL-M10R-580-605W-144-CELLS-1-c7a64e44c4ae.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-560M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-560m) | 560 W | Cooler, lighter, +2.4 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-555M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-555m) | 555 W | -25 W, lighter, +2.2 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A630-MAH72Dw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a630-mah72dw) | 630 W | +50 W, cooler, +1.9 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVHL-550M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvhl-550m) | 550 W | -30 W, 15 kg lighter, +1.9 pp | | [JA Solar JAT60S40-540/LR](https://comparepv.com/panel/ja-solar-jat60s40-540-lr) | 540 W | -40 W, lighter, +1.9 pp | | [Vikram Solar PREXOS VSMDHT.72.535.05](https://comparepv.com/panel/vikram-solar-prexos-vsmdht-72-535-05) | 535 W | -45 W, hotter, -1.7 pp | | [Vikram Solar PARADEA VSMDH.72.AAA.05-540](https://comparepv.com/panel/vikram-solar-paradea-vsmdh-72-aaa-05-540) | 540 W | -40 W, hotter, -1.6 pp | | [Vikram Solar PREXOS VSMDHT.72.540.05](https://comparepv.com/panel/vikram-solar-prexos-vsmdht-72-540-05) | 540 W | -40 W, hotter, -1.5 pp | | [Vikram Solar PARADEA VSMDH.72.AAA.05-545](https://comparepv.com/panel/vikram-solar-paradea-vsmdh-72-aaa-05-545) | 545 W | -35 W, hotter, -1.3 pp | | [Vikram Solar PREXOS VSMDHT.72.545.05](https://comparepv.com/panel/vikram-solar-prexos-vsmdht-72-545-05) | 545 W | -35 W, hotter, -1.3 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A650-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a650-mae72mw) | 650 W | +70 W, lighter, +2.8 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A645-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a645-mae72mw) | 645 W | +65 W, lighter, +2.6 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A640-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a640-mae72mw) | 640 W | +60 W, lighter, +2.4 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A635-MAE72Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a635-mae72mw) | 635 W | +55 W, lighter, +2.2 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/vikram-solar-hypersol-vsmdh-72-aaa-05-580 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.
