Its key advantage is **positive power tolerance**, which makes it easier to minimize losses resulting from module mismatch in the string and maintain consistent performance throughout the entire section. The use of proven construction solutions and components with enhanced durability results in **high mechanical strength** - which is important for roofs exposed to wind and snow loads. The Yingli LF(P6-60) series also focuses on **resistance to harsh environments**, which will be appreciated by investors planning installation near agricultural areas or in areas with high humidity. As a result, LF(P6-60) performs well in residential micro-installations, on commercial buildings, and in modernization projects where compatibility, reliability, and quick installation are important. Another advantage is **quality control confirmed by testing**, which differentiates the series from many budget-friendly alternatives. ## Notable figures - Module efficiency of 16.3% is 5.5pp below average for \*\*database\*\* panels (median: 21.8%) - Power density of 162.9 W/m² is 55.2 W/m² below \*\*database\*\* median (218.1 W/m²) - needs more roof space - Temperature coefficient of -0.41%/°C is 0.11pp worse than \*\*database\*\* median (-0.30%/°C) - higher losses in summer heat - Weight of 18.0 kg (8.5 kg below \*\*database\*\* median of 26.5 kg) allows easier transport and roof mounting - In the top 97% for efficiency among all N-type panels ## Questions ### Is the Yingli LF(P6-60) 285Wp series still available for purchase? No, the LF(P6-60) series has been discontinued. Yingli replaced it with newer, higher-power and higher-efficiency modules. Some units may still be found through distributors with remaining stock or on the secondary market, but buyers should check the production date and warranty status before purchasing, as limited remaining batches can sell out quickly. ### What does positive power tolerance mean for the Yingli LF(P6-60)? Positive power tolerance means the module's actual output never falls below its rated 285Wp and may even be slightly higher. This helps reduce mismatch losses when connecting panels of similar specifications in a string, resulting in more predictable and stable energy yield across the entire array. ### What warranty comes with Yingli LF(P6-60) modules? Yingli provides a 12-year product warranty covering material and workmanship defects, along with a 25-year power output warranty guaranteeing a minimum energy generation level over that period. This is standard for a tier 1 manufacturer, though since the series is discontinued, warranty claims may need to go through a regional distributor rather than the factory directly. ### Are Yingli LF(P6-60) panels suitable for installation near agricultural areas? Yes, the LF(P6-60) series was designed with enhanced resistance to demanding environmental conditions, including humidity and contaminants typical near farmland. The robust frame and sealed cell lamination reduce the risk of corrosion and module degradation, making this series a solid choice for installations on farm buildings and agricultural sites. ### Can Yingli LF(P6-60) modules withstand heavy snow and strong wind loads? Yes, this series uses proven construction methods and enhanced-durability components, giving it good mechanical resistance to snow and wind loads typical of the Polish climate. This makes the panels well suited to pitched roofs exposed to harsher weather, both for residential and commercial installations. ### How many cells does the Yingli LF(P6-60) have and what is its maximum power? The LF(P6-60) series is a 60-cell silicon module with a maximum power output of 285Wp. It is not a bifacial panel, so it generates energy from the front side only. The 60-cell format is a standard configuration for residential and small commercial systems, offering good compatibility with common inverters and mounting structures. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/3-6bd3c13c79ed.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [Canadian Solar CS3K-315P](https://comparepv.com/panel/canadian-solar-cs3k-315p) | 315 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.7 pp | | [Canadian Solar CS3K-310P-AG](https://comparepv.com/panel/canadian-solar-cs3k-310p-ag) | 310 W | Cooler, +2.4 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Rarlon PV Tech RL310HP-120](https://comparepv.com/panel/rarlon-pv-tech-rl310hp-120) | 310 W | +45 W, cooler, +2.3 pp | | [SunLink LNSK-315P](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunlink-lnsk-315p) | 315 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.3 pp | | [Canadian Solar CS3K-310PB-AG](https://comparepv.com/panel/canadian-solar-cs3k-310pb-ag) | 310 W | Cooler, +2.1 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Canadian Solar CS3K-305P-AG](https://comparepv.com/panel/canadian-solar-cs3k-305p-ag) | 305 W | Cooler, +2.1 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [SunLink LNSK-310P](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunlink-lnsk-310p) | 310 W | +45 W, cooler, +2.0 pp | | [Yingli LF270P6-60](https://comparepv.com/panel/yingli-lf270p6-60) | 270 W | +0.3 pp | | [Yingli LF275P6-60](https://comparepv.com/panel/yingli-lf275p6-60) | 275 W | +10 W, +0.6 pp | | [Yingli LF280P6-60](https://comparepv.com/panel/yingli-lf280p6-60) | 280 W | +15 W, +0.9 pp | | [Yingli LF285P6-60](https://comparepv.com/panel/yingli-lf285p6-60) | 285 W | +20 W, +1.2 pp | | [Maxeon SPR-MAX3-400-COM](https://comparepv.com/panel/maxeon-spr-max3-400-com) | 400 W | Cooler, +6.3 pp, +15 yr warranty | | [Lina Energy LEPV 400](https://comparepv.com/panel/lina-energy-lepv-400) | 400 W | +135 W, cooler, +6.0 pp | | [Phono Solar NS-360MH-60](https://comparepv.com/panel/phono-solar-ns-360mh-60) | 360 W | +95 W, cooler, +5.8 pp | | [PolyCrown Solar Tech NS-360MH-60](https://comparepv.com/panel/polycrown-solar-tech-ns-360mh-60) | 360 W | +95 W, cooler, +5.8 pp | | [Maxeon SPR-MAX3-390-COM](https://comparepv.com/panel/maxeon-spr-max3-390-com) | 390 W | Cooler, +5.8 pp, +15 yr warranty | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/yingli-lf265p6-60 Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
