In practice, this means more stable energy production in typical Polish conditions, where clouds, fog, and variable exposure can significantly reduce the efficiency of standard modules. The implemented cell connection solutions (including multi-string current lead-out) support lower internal losses and better performance under reduced sunlight, which will be appreciated by investors focusing on self-consumption. Another highlight of this series is its emphasis on durability-the resistance to PID degradation and suitability for demanding environments translates to guaranteed long-term operation. For installations where long-term predictability is key, the extended power warranty will be crucial. The ZXM7-SH108 is ideal for **residential installations**, commercial rooftops, and projects where high power density and aesthetics are paramount. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 20.5% matches the \*\*PERC 400-450W\*\* median - Power density of 204.8 W/m² matches the \*\*PERC 400-450W\*\* median - Temperature coefficient of -0.35%/°C matches the \*\*PERC 400-450W\*\* median - 20.5 kg weight - 1.5 kg lighter than \*\*PERC 400-450W\*\* median (22.0 kg), reducing installation effort - #11468 for efficiency, #10419 for temperature performance out of 14005 panels ## Questions ### Is the ZNShine ZXM7-SH108 panel series still available for purchase? The ZXM7-SH108 series has been discontinued and replaced by the manufacturer's newer module lines. Availability is now limited to remaining distributor stock. If you're expanding an existing installation built with these panels, it's worth acting quickly, since matching an identical model may become impossible once inventory runs out. ### What is the maximum power output of the ZXM7-SH108 and how does it compare to other PERC modules? Models in the ZXM7-SH108 series reach up to 415 Wp using half-cut PERC cells. That's a solid result for PERC technology, though newer TOPCon panels now deliver higher output from a similar surface area. For systems already designed around these specs, the module still provides good power density and predictable energy yield. ### Is the ZXM7-SH108 a bifacial panel? No, the ZXM7-SH108 series is monofacial, with no rear-side light capture. The manufacturer focused this series on optimizing performance under partial shading through half-cut cell technology rather than rear-side gain, making it best suited to typical pitched roofs rather than ground-mount installations with high-albedo surfaces. ### What warranty comes with ZNShine ZXM7-SH108 panels? The manufacturer provides a 12-year product warranty and a 25-year linear power output warranty. This means the panel should still deliver a guaranteed percentage of its initial power after a quarter century of operation. ZNShine is a Tier 1 manufacturer, which adds credibility to honoring warranty terms even though the series has been discontinued. ### How well do ZXM7-SH108 panels handle partial shading, such as from a chimney or antenna? This is one of the series' main strengths. The half-cut design splits cells into independently connected halves, so shading part of the panel reduces output only from that section rather than shutting down the whole module. In practice, this means lower energy losses from typical roof obstructions like chimneys, dormers, or satellite antennas. ### Is the ZXM7-SH108 resistant to PID degradation and suitable for demanding climates? Yes, the series has confirmed PID resistance, protecting against power loss caused by potential-induced degradation. This matters especially in Poland's climate, with high humidity and variable sunlight, where PID can accelerate output loss in lower-quality modules. As a result, the panel maintains more stable energy production throughout its service life. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/zxm7-sh108-182-1722-1134-30-32nh-395-415w-350mm-20220823-e-11eb1b1c676b.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 | Cooler, +2.6 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Just Solar JST-EDMH-(445-465)W-TD (450W class)](https://comparepv.com/panel/just-solar-jst-edmh-445-465-w-td-450w-class) | 450 W | +50 W, +2.6 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Q-SUN Solar QNN182-HG450-54](https://comparepv.com/panel/qn-solar-pv-limited-qnn182-hg450-54) | 450 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.6 pp | | [Huayao HY440-N108BDD](https://comparepv.com/panel/huayao-hy440-n108bdd) | 450 W | +50 W, +2.6 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [BYD NLBK-27-450](https://comparepv.com/panel/byd-nlbk-27-450) | 450 W | +50 W, +2.6 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Renesola RS41-450NBG-E3](https://comparepv.com/panel/renesola-rs41-450nbg-e3) | 450 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.6 pp | | [ZNShine ZXM7-SH108-395W](https://comparepv.com/panel/znshine-zxm7-sh108-395w) | 395 W | -0.2 pp | | [ZNShine ZXM7-SH108-405W](https://comparepv.com/panel/znshine-zxm7-sh108-405w) | 405 W | +0.3 pp | | [ZNShine ZXM7-SH108-410W](https://comparepv.com/panel/znshine-zxm7-sh108-410w) | 410 W | +10 W, +0.5 pp | | [ZNShine ZXM7-SH108-415W](https://comparepv.com/panel/znshine-zxm7-sh108-415w) | 415 W | +15 W, +0.8 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | +110 W, cooler, +4.5 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | +95 W, cooler, +4.3 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-505M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-505m) | 505 W | +105 W, cooler, +4.2 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A490-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a490-mce54mw) | 490 W | +90 W, cooler, +4.0 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-500m) | 500 W | +100 W, cooler, +4.0 pp | | [Talesun CIPRO-TN9C54M-500W](https://comparepv.com/panel/talesun-cipro-tn9c54m-500w) | 500 W | +100 W, cooler, +4.0 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/znshine-zxm7-sh108-400w Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
