About product
Aptos Solar DNA-120-BF10-460W is a PV module fit for both residential and commercial applications. Aptos Solar engineers made the DNA 120-Bifacial series durable and efficient while minimizing the amount of useful space required for their operation.
Half-cut cell technology adds a few more percent to the overall performance, making this model a great example of efficiency. Aptos Solar made solar cells in DNA-120-BF10-460W two times smaller than the standard size, thus reducing power loss and improving low-light behavior. At 21.26% efficiency, DNA-120-BF10-460W offers surprising performance for its weight and size. And while conventional panels use only one side to absorb photons, bifacial modules employ both sides at the same time. Thanks to the technology, this model can be up to 30% more efficient. The innovations made the appearance of the panel as impressive as the specs. A mere 1.3" thick, this model is completely black with a smooth surface. This beauty doesn’t compromise the quality or reliability of the panel. Aptos Solar offers 30 years of product warranty and guarantees 82.4% of original performance after 30 years of operation.
DNA-120-BF10-460W ensures maximum power production. The combination of advanced SE-PERC cell technology and a powerful antireflective coating results in 21.26 percent module efficiency. This is much greater than the average, resulting in significant extra savings over the years of production.
Even at high temperatures, DNA-120-BF10-460W remains efficient. It loses just -0.35% efficiency for every 1.8°F over 77°F, letting you make the most of the sunniest hours.
Multiple tests are part of the Aptos Solar tight production requirements, which offer the highest level of quality assurance. Because of the facilities' high degree of automation, the business is able to uphold strict standards and minimize the number of warranty claims to an absolute minimum.
Aptos Solar guarantees slow deterioration over the next 30 years. The performance will decline by no more than 2% during the first year and then by no more than 0.54% every year after that. After the 30 years are over, your modules will retain at least 82.4% of their original performance. This 460 W Aptos Solar solar panel also comes with a substantial 30-year product warranty.
DNA-120-BF10-460W is resistant to PID, salt, acid and ammonia. It can also withstand up to 5400 Pa mechanical load on the front and 5400 Pa on the back. Such robustness is mainly due to the 1.3" thick black anodised aluminium frame and a layer of protective glass.
The sleek, all-black aesthetics of the panel will complement any rooftop. By using a variety of treatments and selection criteria, the producer guarantees high quality cell color. Engineers at Aptos Solar employ smaller gauge wires to link the cells together, creating a seamless appearance.

Warranty
25-year product warranty. 30-year performance guarantee. Industry-leading coverage terms. Streamlined claims process.
Value
$0.7-$0.9 per watt pricing. Competitive with American manufacturers like Mission Solar and Silfab. Cost-effective DNA manufacturing.
The DNA-120 series features all-black monofacial and bifacial solar panels designed for residential applications, with monofacial modules ideal for standard rooftop installations and bifacial modules best for solar pergolas or ground-mount systems. These aptos bifacial solar panels deliver power outputs ranging from 360W to 460W, with newer models achieving higher efficiency ratings.
The residential-focused panels feature an all-black aesthetic design that enhances curb appeal while maximizing energy production. These panels utilize 120 half-cut solar cells with DNA technology, generating 360, 365, or 370 watts under Standard Test Conditions based on cell efficiency variations.
The 144 series comes in all-black mono- and bifacial varieties, plus a more efficient silver frame style with white backsheet. These larger commercial modules deliver superior power density for space-constrained installations, with aptos bifacial solar panels 440w options available for utility-scale projects.
DNA solar cells are cheaper to produce, have more active surface area, and demonstrate enhanced heat tolerance compared to conventional designs. Engineers eliminated corner-clipping of solar cells and revised the entire cell structure, adding intrinsic layers of negatively charged atoms to increase photon capture.
The Aptos team combined the best elements from PERC and bifacial cell technologies to create their DNA innovation. This aptos solar panels DNA technology enables reduced manufacturing costs while maintaining premium performance standards.
Busbars in Aptos panels are thinner, taking less space from solar cells, while uncut PV cells contribute to increased active panel area. This design provides significant advantages in partially-shaded conditions, allowing continued energy generation from unshaded sections rather than losing entire panel output.
Conversion rates range from 19% to 20.6%—slightly better than market averages, with panels providing excellent power output performance. The aptos solar panel temperature coefficient measures approximately -0.36%/°C, meaning modules lose minimal power as temperatures rise above standard test conditions.
Aptos panels withstand 6,200 Pa wind loads, 5,400 Pa snow loads, and hail balls up to 1 inch in diameter. State-of-the-art facilities maintain ISO 9001 & 14001 certifications, with Renewable Energy Testing Center (RETC) partnership providing third-party quality assurance through 3X IEC Standard testing.
