As the global solar industry accelerates toward higher efficiency and lower levelized cost of energy (LCOE), module innovation remains a key driver of project success. Astronergy, a core member of the CHINT Group, addresses this demand with its ASTRO N8 Bifacial Series, a next-generation photovoltaic solution designed for utility-scale and advanced commercial solar projects.
The ASTRO N8 series delivers up to 730 W of power through n-type TOPCon 4.0 cell technology, which enhances carrier collection efficiency and reduces recombination losses. With a maximum conversion efficiency of 23.5%, the modules enable developers to extract more energy per unit area—an especially valuable feature for land-constrained projects.
A standout feature is the bifacial design, rated at approximately 80 ±5% bifaciality, which allows the module to capture additional backside energy from reflected light. This capability boosts yields in ground-mounted and high-albedo environments, translating directly into higher project returns. Combined with Astronergy’s low Voc design, the modules support longer string lengths, reducing balance-of-system (BOS) costs and further optimizing LCOE.
Durability and Bankability
Reliability is central to the ASTRO N8 value proposition. The modules feature a robust double-glass structure (2.0 + 2.0 mm), anodized aluminum framing, and a mechanical load rating of 5,400 Pa, ensuring dependable performance under challenging environmental conditions. Astronergy offers a 15-year product warranty and a 30-year linear power warranty, with first-year degradation ≤1.0% and annual degradation ≤0.4% thereafter.
Designed for versatility, the ASTRO N8 modules are compatible with mainstream inverters and mounting systems, making them suitable for a wide range of utility-scale and commercial deployments. Recognized as Tier 1 by BloombergNEF and underwritten by an international Tier 1 insurer, these modules combine high performance with financial bankability, giving developers and investors confidence in long-term project returns.
With the ASTRO N8 Bifacial Series, Astronergy demonstrates its commitment to high-performance, reliable, and future-ready solar technology, supporting the global transition to clean energy.
