In practice, this means more stable energy production when other panels visibly lose output - in the morning, during overcast conditions, or with complex roof geometries. A key differentiator is the combination of **half-cut technology** with **multi-string MBB architecture**, which better harvests light and increases resistance to micro-cracks. The series is also designed for long-term, trouble-free operation thanks to **PID resistance** and its watertight connector box with an IP68 rating. This is an excellent choice for residential and commercial installations, including projects focused on aesthetics - the available **full black** variants integrate well with modern rooftops. It stands out from the competition by emphasizing real-world performance in challenging conditions, not just catalog specifications. ## Notable figures - At 19.2% efficiency, this panel is on par with typical \*\*PERC 0-400W\*\* modules - At 192.0 W/m² power density, roof space requirements are typical for \*\*PERC 0-400W\*\* panels - At -0.35%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for \*\*PERC 0-400W\*\* panels - At 6.0 kg, this panel is 14.5 kg lighter than \*\*PERC 0-400W\*\* median (20.5 kg) - easier handling during installation - Ranked #12855 out of 14005 panels for efficiency in the database ## Questions ### What is the power output of ZNShine ZXM7-SHB108 panels and what cell technology do they use? The ZXM7-SHB108 series reaches up to 410 Wp thanks to 108 half-cut PERC cells arranged in a multi-busbar (MBB) layout. This design reduces resistive losses and improves light capture compared to standard full-cell panels, delivering higher energy yield from the same roof area. ### What warranty comes with ZNShine ZXM7-SHB108 panels? The manufacturer provides a 10-year product warranty and a 25-year power output warranty. ZNShine is a Tier 1 manufacturer, meaning stronger financial stability and a realistic chance of honoring warranty claims throughout the system's lifetime. ### Do ZXM7-SHB108 panels perform well under partial shading, such as from chimneys or dormers? Yes, this is one of the series' key strengths. Half-cut cell technology splits each cell in half, so shading part of the panel causes a smaller power drop than in full-cell designs. In practice this means more stable energy production during mornings, cloudy weather, and on roofs with complex geometry. ### What does PID resistance mean and why does it matter when choosing a panel? PID (Potential Induced Degradation) is a gradual power loss caused by a voltage difference between cells and the frame, especially common in large series-connected systems. ZXM7-SHB108 panels are PID-resistant, protecting against unexpected performance drops over time and keeping output closer to the guaranteed value throughout the 25-year warranty period. ### Is a full black version of the ZXM7-SHB108 series available for a modern roof look? Yes, the series includes full black variants with a black frame and dark laminate backsheet for a uniform, low-profile appearance. This option is popular in residential installations where roof aesthetics matter just as much as energy performance. ### What is the junction box IP rating on ZXM7-SHB108 panels and why does it matter? The junction box carries an IP68 rating, the highest standard for protection against dust and prolonged water immersion. This ensures secure electrical connections even in harsh weather - heavy rain, humidity, or temperature swings - contributing to longer, trouble-free system operation. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/zxm7-shb108-182-1745-1149-380-410w-350mm-20240327-e-0875f25cb43f.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M340W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m340w) | 340 W | Heavier, +3.8 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M360W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m360w) | 360 W | Heavier, +3.8 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M380W (1/4\*4\*38)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m380w-1-4-4-38) | 380 W | Heavier, +3.8 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M400W (1/2\*4\*20)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m400w-1-2-4-20) | 400 W | Heavier, +3.8 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M400W (1/4\*4\*40)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m400w-1-4-4-40) | 400 W | Heavier, +3.8 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M380W (1/2\*4\*19)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m380w-1-2-4-19) | 380 W | Heavier, +3.8 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Luxor Solar LX-435M/182-108+ GG](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-435m-182-108-gg-1) | 435 W | Cooler, 18 kg heavier, +3.6 pp | | [Jetion JT435SYk(B)](https://comparepv.com/panel/jetion-jt435syk-b) | 435 W | Cooler, 17 kg heavier, +3.5 pp | | [Maxeon SPR-MAX3-430-R](https://comparepv.com/panel/maxeon-spr-max3-430-r) | 430 W | 15 kg heavier, +3.5 pp, +15 yr warranty | | [Luxor Solar LX-435M/182-108+](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-435m-182-108) | 435 W | +50 W, 16 kg heavier, +3.4 pp | | [ZNShine ZXM7-SHB108-380](https://comparepv.com/panel/znshine-zxm7-shb108-380) | 380 W | -0.2 pp | | [ZNShine ZXM7-SHB108-390](https://comparepv.com/panel/znshine-zxm7-shb108-390) | 390 W | +0.2 pp | | [ZNShine ZXM7-SHB108-395](https://comparepv.com/panel/znshine-zxm7-shb108-395) | 395 W | +10 W, +0.5 pp | | [ZNShine ZXM7-SHB108-400](https://comparepv.com/panel/znshine-zxm7-shb108-400) | 400 W | +15 W, +0.8 pp | | [ZNShine ZXM7-SHB108-405](https://comparepv.com/panel/znshine-zxm7-shb108-405) | 405 W | +20 W, +1.0 pp | | [ZNShine ZXM7-SHB108-410](https://comparepv.com/panel/znshine-zxm7-shb108-410) | 410 W | +25 W, +1.2 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | +125 W, 18 kg heavier, +5.8 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/znshine-zxm7-shb108-385 Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
