Risen Energy has introduced a new heterojunction solar module designed to significantly reduce glare, achieving maximum efficiency of 23.5% and power output up to 730 W. The module, certified for Class AAA anti-glare performance by TÜV Rheinland, responds to increasing demand for photovoltaic systems in environments with strict glare-control requirements.

Module features and technical details
The new anti-glare module is part of Risen Energy’s Hyper-ion series, combining a bifacial design with a dual-layer optical configuration. The dual-layer system relies on a micron-scale matte glass surface created using nanocrystalline phase reconstruction, alongside internal reflection suppression techniques; however, detailed technical specifics of these processes were not further disclosed in the release.
The device includes 132 HJT cells and dimensions of 2,384 mm x 1,303 mm x 33 mm, weighing in at 37.5 kg. Front-facing 2 mm anti-glare glass and a 2 mm heat-strengthened rear glass, paired with an anodized aluminum alloy frame, contribute to durability and reduced reflectance. The module is manufactured in five variants, supporting power outputs between 710 W and 730 W and conversion efficiencies from 22.9% to 23.5%.
According to Risen Energy’s data, open-circuit voltages span 50.01 V to 50.33 V, short-circuit currents range from 18.00 A to 18.38 A, and temperature coefficient for maximum power is -0.24% per degree Celsius. The operating temperature window is -40 C to 70 C, and maximum system voltage capability is 1,500 V.
Glare mitigation and certification
Glare is increasingly scrutinized for PV installations near sensitive locations, including airports and residential areas. Risen Energy’s module underwent glare probability and luminance tests conducted by TÜV Rheinland, achieving a maximum daylight glare probability (DGP) of 0.30, comfortably below the Class AAA limit of 0.35, and a recorded glare luminance of 3,463.94 cd/m², significantly less than the permitted 20,000 cd/m² threshold. Specular reflectance was also suppressed, reaching as low as 0.85%.
The anti-glare capabilities stem from the dual-layer optical approach: the micron-matte glass scatters incident light, while internal reflection suppression reduces how much sunlight is reflected directly. These properties directly address requirements from planners and regulators in multi-use and safety-critical areas, where even moderate glare can impede operations or quality of life.
In parallel with product development, Risen Energy played an active role in drafting T/CPIA0119-2025, the group standard for photovoltaic module glare testing. This indicates the company’s influence not just as a technology provider but also as a contributor to industry practices and regulatory frameworks.
Performance and warranty considerations
Risen Energy’s new module features substantial warranty provisions. The company is offering a 15-year product warranty and a 30-year linear power output warranty, together with an annual degradation rate specified at 0.3% over the three-decade lifespan. This adds long-term assurance for project developers, commercial buyers, and asset managers scheduling operating costs and yield estimates for new solar deployments.
Under bifacial operation at 135 W/m² rear-side irradiance, output is listed between 796 W and 818 W. With a standard 10% rear-side power boost, real-world output for the various module iterations is in the 781 W to 803 W range. Mechanical test loads reach 5,400 Pa for the front and 2,400 Pa for the rear side, indicating durability for both rooftop and utility-scale ground-mount installations.
Efficiency, anti-glare performance, and bifacial gains together shape the module’s appeal for asset owners and engineering procurement construction (EPC) firms seeking to maximize land use and comply with regulatory or community glare controls.
Market significance for US buyers
The module’s debut arrives as utility-scale and distributed solar developers in the US face increasingly tough permitting and public acceptance demands, including projects near airports, highways, and other sensitive environments. Anti-glare certification can ease approval timelines and lower legal risk, while maintaining competitiveness via high output per square meter.
For institutional buyers, the combination of 23.5% efficiency and Class AAA anti-glare certification means higher yields on constrained sites, which may unlock project viability in areas with glare-related permitting limits. The robust product and output warranties enable financing partners to structure lower reserve accounts and support longer-term project underwriting.
As US project sizes increase and land options tighten, the technical advances in glare mitigation and bifacial efficiency are relevant not only for distributed arrays but also for utility-scale power producers and corporate procurement teams targeting zero-carbon goals within regulatory and community constraints.
What this means for buyers
Solar module equipment for US projects with glare-sensitive siting restrictions gains a new option with Risen Energy’s 23.5% efficient Hyper-ion series. The Class AAA anti-glare certification from TÜV Rheinland and up to 730 W output allow utility and commercial buyers to consider locations that were previously nonviable due to regulatory glare limitations. Buyers planning new procurement cycles this quarter can now include these high-spec bifacial modules in their competitive technical assessments and RFPs for constrained or urban sites.
