Compare LEDVANCE panels on ComparePV." source: "https://comparepv.com/reviews/ledvance" --- # LEDVANCE panels, *read off the datasheets* LEDVANCE has 124 modules in the database, from 385 to 705 Wp. Everything below is computed from those 124 datasheets: no score out of ten, no ranking of brands against each other, and nothing a manufacturer can pay to change. Where LEDVANCE does not publish a figure, it is left out of the average rather than assumed. ## The company - **Founded:** 2016 - **Headquarters:** Garching bei München, Germany Company facts, not datasheet figures. Tier 1 is a financier's bankability list, and says nothing about how a panel performs. ## Key figures | Measure | Value | Note | | --- | --- | --- | | Panels | 124 | models in the database | | Average efficiency | 21.6 % | across the catalogue | | Best efficiency | 23.4 % (good) | their strongest module | | Power range | 385-705 Wp | smallest to largest | | Bifacial share | 62 % | 77 dual-sided models | | Average warranty | 28 years | guaranteed output term | ## 01. The top of the range The leaders of LEDVANCE's own catalogue on the two figures a specification sheet leads with. Neither is a verdict: the most efficient module in a range is rarely the one that suits a given roof. ### Most efficient module efficiency | # | Panel | power | efficiency | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | [M500-520H54RB-BF-520](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m500-520h54rb-bf-520) | 520 Wp | 23.4% (good) | | 2 | [M500-520H54RB-BF-515](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m500-520h54rb-bf-515) | 515 Wp | 23.2% (good) | | 3 | [M575-595N72LB-BF-F7-595](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m575-595n72lb-bf-f7-595) | 595 Wp | 23.0% (good) | | 4 | [M595N72LB-BF-F7](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m595n72lb-bf-f7) | 595 Wp | 23.0% (good) | | 5 | [M440-460H48RB-BF (460W)](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m440-460h48rb-bf-460w) | 460 Wp | 23.0% (good) | - M500-520H54RB-BF-520 - Monocrystalline bifacial - M500-520H54RB-BF-515 - Monocrystalline bifacial - M575-595N72LB-BF-F7-595 - Monocrystalline bifacial - M595N72LB-BF-F7 - Monocrystalline bifacial - M440-460H48RB-BF (460W) - Monocrystalline bifacial [Sort the whole catalogue by efficiency](https://comparepv.com/panels/ledvance?sort_by=efficiency&sort_order=desc) ### Highest power nameplate output | # | Panel | efficiency | power | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | [M685~705N66UB-SF-F7-705](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m685-705n66ub-sf-f7-705) | 22.7% (good) | 705 Wp | | 2 | [M705N66UB-SF-F7](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m705n66ub-sf-f7) | 22.7% (good) | 705 Wp | | 3 | [M685~705N66UB-SF-F7-700](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m685-705n66ub-sf-f7-700) | 22.5% (good) | 700 Wp | | 4 | [M700N66UB-SF-F7](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m700n66ub-sf-f7) | 22.5% (good) | 700 Wp | | 5 | [M685~705N66UB-SF-F7-695](https://comparepv.com/panel/ledvance-m685-705n66ub-sf-f7-695) | 22.4% (good) | 695 Wp | - M685~705N66UB-SF-F7-705 - Monocrystalline bifacial - M705N66UB-SF-F7 - Monocrystalline bifacial - M685~705N66UB-SF-F7-700 - Monocrystalline bifacial - M700N66UB-SF-F7 - Monocrystalline bifacial - M685~705N66UB-SF-F7-695 - Monocrystalline bifacial [Sort the whole catalogue by power](https://comparepv.com/panels/ledvance?sort_by=power&sort_order=desc) ## 02.

What the catalogue is made of Shares are of the 124 modules in the database, counted once each. A power ladder of one module counts as its rungs, which is why a large catalogue is not the same as a wide one. [Cell technology across the market](https://comparepv.com/stats/cell-technology) ### Cell technology share of the catalogue | # | Panel | share | panels | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | PERC | 48.4% | 60 | | | TOPCon | 43.5% | 54 | | | HJT | 8.1% | 10 | PERC accounts for 48.4% of the catalogue - 60 of 124 modules. ### Efficiency spread share of the catalogue | # | Panel | share | panels | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | \<20% | 3.2% | 4 | | | 20-21% | 24.2% | 30 | | | 21-22% | 33.9% | 42 | | | 22-23% | 34.7% | 43 | | | 23%+ | 4.0% | 5 | ## 04.
