HQST N-Type 16BB 200 Watt Bifacial Solar Panel, with 25% Efficiency

OVERVIEW True N-Type Panels 30 Years Service Life Lower Temp Loss Withstand Extreme Storms Thicker FrameSleek All-Black Design Package Protection Bifacial Tech Highly Reflective Surfaces Proper Installation Angle Package Protection Key FeaturesTrue N-Type Cells, 30-Year Service LifeHQST 200 W solar panels use true N-Type solar cells, delivering up to 25% conversion efficiency and an ultra-long 30-year service life - compared to P-Type cells, which typically last 25 years. With a low temperature coefficient of -0.29%/°C, power losses at high temperatures are minimized. This ensures reliable energy generation even during hot summer months or in extreme heat.Bifacial Technology, Up to 12% Extra OutputDesigned with advanced bifacial technology, HQST 200 watt solar panels capture direct sunlight on the front and reflected sunlight (albedo) on the rear. This provides up to 12% more energy output than traditional monocrystalline panels, delivering up to 224 W of power. Get more clean energy and maximize your solar system’s efficiency.6% Smaller, 5% Lighter – Save Space & Cut CostsCompared to traditional P-Type panels, the HQST N-Type 200 W solar panel is 6% smaller and 5% lighter, making installation easier. Compared to using multiple 100 W panels, its high-efficiency design saves installation space, requires fewer mounts and cables, and reduces the total cost of your off-grid system. With fewer parallel connections, power loss is minimized and energy output is maximized.Reliable & Durable, Long-Term InvestmentIn addition to a 30-year service life, HQST bifacial solar panels feature IP68 waterproofing, UL94 V-0 flame retardant, 2400 Pa wind resistance, and 5400 Pa snow load capacity, ensuring they withstand extreme conditions. The all-black, anti-corrosion aluminum frame is both durable and visually sleek, making it a long-term, reliable investment for your solar system.Grade A+ 16BB Cells – No MicrocracksHQST solar panels use advanced Grade A+ 182 mm solar cells with 16 busbars, all EL-tested to ensure no microcracks, providing stable, superior performance compared to traditional 9BB or 5BB panels. The compact, sleek design makes them perfect for rooftops, camper vans, trailers, RVs, boats, cabins, farms, or any off-grid solar system.HQST Bifacial 200 Watt N-Type 16BB Monocrystalline Solar Panel with All-Black DesignBUILT-IN COMPONENTS Model: HSP200D-68AOutput Cables: 14 AWG (1.97 ft length)Cell Type: Monocrystalline

FAQ1. How can I increase the energy output of my solar panels? 

For this bifacial solar panel, we recommend installing it on reflective surfaces or mounting it above the ground to capture more sunlight from the rear. For optimal performance, position the panels at an angle between 20° and 45° in highly reflective areas such as snow, concrete, sand, grass, or white surfaces.

2. How should I connect solar panels to my electrical circuit (series vs. parallel)? 

Solar panels can be connected in either series or parallel, depending on your electrical circuit size and power needs. It’s best to connect panels with the same open-circuit voltage.

When connected in series, the voltage (V) increases, while the current (A) stays the same.

On the other hand, connecting panels in parallel increases the current (A), while the voltage (V) remains constant.

3. Do these panels have pre-drilled holes on the back? 

Yes, they do. There are four pre-drilled holes to make installing the solar panel quick and secure.

4. Can this solar panel be used with a 12V marine battery or a 48V lithium battery? 

Yes, it can. The optimal operating voltage of this 200W solar panel is 21.08V, making it suitable for charging a 12V marine battery. For a 48V lithium battery, you’ll need to connect at least three solar panels in series.

Please ensure that you connect the solar panel(s) to a charge controller that supports either a 12V or 48V system.

5. What do I need to have to complete my off-grid solar power system? 

Here’s a list of all the equipment required for a functioning off-grid solar system:

Solar Panels, Solar Charge Controller, Inverter(s), Battery, Mounting and Racking System, Wiring Cables, and Fuses.
