YS Solar YS SM-90 Mono series photovoltaic panels utilize an advanced architecture based on 90 monocrystalline cells, which represents an optimal balance between efficiency and module dimensions. This specific design allows for high power density, which is crucial in locations with limited installation space. The use of high-efficiency monocrystalline technology guarantees excellent energy yields even in lower sunlight conditions, typical for the Polish climate zone. These modules solve the problem of challenging roof surfaces where standard, larger panels cannot be installed effectively. Thanks to the optimized cell layout, the YS SM-90 series minimizes energy losses resulting from partial shading and high operating temperatures. It is an ideal solution for single-family homeowners and off-grid systems where every square centimeter counts, along with exceptional mechanical resistance to harsh weather conditions such as strong winds or snow loads. They are distinguished from the competition by precise craftsmanship and the use of innovative materials, which significantly slow down the cell degradation process over time. By choosing these panels, investors gain the assurance of long-term energy stability and an aesthetic installation appearance that blends perfectly with modern architecture.

Common questions

6 answered
How does the 90-cell design of the YS SM-90 differ from standard 60- or 72-cell panels?
YS SM-90 panels use 90 monocrystalline cells arranged in a narrower, more elongated format than classic 60- or 72-cell modules. This concentrates power output over a smaller module footprint, achieving higher power density while keeping dimensions easier to transport and install on irregular roof sections where standard panels don't fit efficiently.
Are YS SM-90 panels suitable for small or irregularly shaped roof sections?
Yes, that's the primary use case for this series. The optimized cell layout and compact form factor make YS SM-90 modules well-suited for narrow, fragmented, or otherwise difficult roof areas where larger 60- or 72-cell panels wouldn't fit effectively. It's a solid option for single-family homes with limited mounting surface.
What is the maximum power output of YS SM-90 panels, and is it high for this panel type?
The YS SM-90 series reaches a maximum power output of up to 350 Wp. For a module built on 90 monocrystalline cells with compact dimensions, this is a competitive result thanks to the high efficiency of monocrystalline silicon, allowing more energy to be captured per unit of available roof area compared to polycrystalline panels of similar size.
Is the YS SM-90 a bifacial panel?
No, the YS SM-90 series is a standard monofacial panel, not a bifacial module. Energy is generated only through the front side of the panel. This is typical for rooftop installations, where the rear side has no access to reflected light anyway, so bifacial technology wouldn't provide additional benefits in that setup.
Will YS SM-90 panels perform well in off-grid systems and under weaker sunlight conditions?
Yes, the high-efficiency monocrystalline technology used in the YS SM-90 delivers solid energy yields even under diffuse or weaker light conditions, typical of the Polish climate. Combined with its compact size and robust mechanical build, this panel performs well in off-grid systems where every bit of energy captured on a limited installation area matters.
YS Solar is a Chinese manufacturer — is YS SM-90 quality comparable to European brands?
YS Solar, based in China, uses advanced materials and precise manufacturing processes that help slow cell degradation over time. Many Chinese factories, including suppliers in this class, meet international quality standards and export certifications. That said, it's worth verifying the specific batch and warranty documentation with the distributor, as build quality can vary between production lines from the same manufacturer.
