Thanks to the **bifacial design**, the panel works not only with direct light, but also with reflected light - which realistically improves performance on bright surfaces, in snow, gravel, or a light-colored roof membrane. The use of **half-cut technology** and **multi busbar (MBB)** helps to minimize internal losses and increases resistance to micro-cracks during transport and installation. In practice, this translates to more reliable operation of the installation over the years. Another noteworthy feature is the **improved performance in partial shade** - the connection box and module section division support production when only a portion of the field is shaded. PARADEA is suitable for commercial and industrial installations, PV farms, and modern roofs, where durability, easier cleaning, and lower energy costs over the entire lifespan are important. ## Notable figures - At 20.2% efficiency, this panel is 0.8pp above typical \*\*PERC 0-400W\*\* modules (median: 19.4%) - 202.3 W/m² power density - 7.9 W/m² more than \*\*PERC 0-400W\*\* median (194.4 W/m²), more power per roof area - Temperature coefficient of -0.35%/°C matches the \*\*PERC 0-400W\*\* median - At 25.1 kg (4.6 kg above \*\*PERC 0-400W\*\* median of 20.5 kg), requires checking roof load capacity - 70% bifaciality enables rear-side power generation, boosting yield by 4-10% on reflective surfaces ## Questions ### Is the Vikram Solar PARADEA (VSMDH.54.AAA.05) series still available for purchase? Production of the PARADEA VSMDH.54.AAA.05 series has ended and Vikram Solar no longer actively manufactures this model. Panels may only be available from remaining distributor stock while supplies last. Check current availability with your supplier before planning a larger installation, since stock of specific power classes (up to 420 Wp) may be limited. ### What warranty comes with the Vikram Solar PARADEA VSMDH.54.AAA.05 panels? The manufacturer covers the PARADEA series with a 12-year product warranty and a 30-year linear power output warranty. This means the module retains a guaranteed percentage of its nominal power throughout that period, and Vikram Solar, as a tier 1 manufacturer, is responsible for material and workmanship defects during the first 12 years of operation. ### How does the bifacial PARADEA panel differ from a standard monofacial panel? The bifacial PARADEA panel generates energy from both the front and rear side thanks to its glass-glass construction without an opaque rear backsheet. In practice this means extra energy yield from light reflected off the ground, such as a light-colored roof, gravel, or snow. With proper installation - elevated mounting and a reflective surface - this can boost total output by several up to over ten percent compared to a monofacial panel of the same power rating. ### What is half-cut and multi busbar (MBB) technology in PARADEA, and does it matter in practice? Half-cut splits cells in two, reducing current losses and mechanical stress on each segment, while multi busbar (MBB) uses more thin conductive paths on the cell instead of a few wide ones. Together these features lower resistive losses, improve heat dissipation, and increase resistance to microcracks during transport and installation, resulting in more stable system performance over the years. ### Do PARADEA panels handle partial shading well, e.g. from a chimney or antenna? Yes, thanks to the module's sectioned layout and junction box design, the panel limits production losses when shade covers only part of the surface, such as from a chimney, antenna, or neighboring building. This doesn't eliminate shading losses entirely, but compared to conventional modules without such features, the power drop across the whole string is milder. ### What types of installations is the Vikram Solar PARADEA series best suited for? PARADEA was designed for commercial, industrial, and utility-scale PV farm installations, where high module power (up to 420 Wp), glass-glass durability, and lower lifecycle energy cost (LCOE) matter most. It also performs well on modern flat roofs with elevated mounting structures, where the bifacial effect can be fully utilized. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/PARADEA-M10-395-420W-108-CELLS-0cc439fb5290.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [Luxor Solar LX-440M/182-108+GG](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-440m-182-108-gg) | 440 W | +45 W, cooler, +2.8 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M360W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m360w) | 360 W | -35 W, lighter, +2.8 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M380W (1/4\*4\*38)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m380w-1-4-4-38) | 380 W | -15 W, lighter, +2.8 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M400W (1/2\*4\*20)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m400w-1-2-4-20) | 400 W | Lighter, +2.8 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M400W (1/4\*4\*40)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m400w-1-4-4-40) | 400 W | Lighter, +2.8 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M380W (1/2\*4\*19)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m380w-1-2-4-19) | 380 W | -15 W, lighter, +2.8 pp | | [Jetion JT440SYK(B)](https://comparepv.com/panel/jetion-jt440syk-b) | 440 W | +45 W, cooler, +2.7 pp | | [Luxor Solar LX-440M/182-108+](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-440m-182-108) | 440 W | Cooler, +2.6 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Vikram Solar SOMERA VSMHBB.54.380.05](https://comparepv.com/panel/vikram-solar-somera-vsmhbb-54-380-05) | 380 W | Lighter, -0.8 pp, -3 yr warranty | | [Vikram Solar SOMERA VSMHBB.54.385.05](https://comparepv.com/panel/vikram-solar-somera-vsmhbb-54-385-05) | 385 W | Lighter, -0.5 pp, -3 yr warranty | | [Vikram Solar SOMERA VSMHBB.54.390.05](https://comparepv.com/panel/vikram-solar-somera-vsmhbb-54-390-05) | 390 W | Lighter, -0.3 pp, -3 yr warranty | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | +115 W, cooler, +4.8 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | +100 W, cooler, +4.6 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-505M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-505m) | 505 W | +110 W, cooler, +4.5 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A490-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a490-mce54mw) | 490 W | +95 W, cooler, +4.3 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-500m) | 500 W | +105 W, cooler, +4.3 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/vikram-solar-paradea-vsmdh-54-aaa-05-395 Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator, a bifacial gain calculator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
