SolarSpace SS8-72HD is a PV module fit for both residential and commercial applications. SolarSpace engineers made the 535-M series durable and efficient while minimizing the amount of useful space required for their operation. The Passivated Emitter Rear Contact (PERC) technology ensures excellent power output. This solar cell type employs an additional reflective layer to absorb more sunlight.
Another advantage is the half-cut cell technology. SS8-72HD has solar cells half the size of those installed in conventional panels. The main benefits are decreased power loss, improved longevity and better low-light performance. The efficiency of this model reaches 20.71% — well above the market’s average. 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. SolarSpace provides an industry-leading 25-year performance warranty and a 12-year product warranty.

Higher efficiency of up to 20.71%
The highest power output is guaranteed by SolarSpace SS8-72HD with an efficiency of up to 20.71%. Such outstanding performance is the product of PERC technology and an effective antireflective coating. This is notably above average, which will translate into significant additional savings over the course of operation.
Exceptional performance in hot temperatures
A low temperature coefficient provides more energy output at high working temperatures. SS8-72HD loses just -0.33 percent efficiency for every 1.8°F over 77°F.
Quality and reliability
SS8-72HD is subject to rigorous quality and reliability testing as well as many quality checks throughout the production process. The level of automation in the manufacturing facilities virtually eliminates human error. To guarantee that you receive the finest, REC is committed to quality, safety and dependability.
Low degradation for increased lifespan
The amount of power output loss experienced by these panels during the first year of operation will not exceed 2%. The average yearly power drop from the second to the 25th year will not surpass 0.55%. After 25 years, the module will still produce more than 84.8% of its initial output.
A panel that can handle hail, wind and snow
The 1.38" frame made from aluminum alloy and a layer of protective tempered glass make this module resistant to the foulest of weather. The front side of the modules can resist a 5400 Pa load, and the back side 2400 Pa.
