The Vertex S+ Black Series (NEG18R.25 & NEG18RC.27) is a set of solar panels compatible with multiple scenarios, such as residential, commercial and industrial applications. Based on the next-generation n-type i-TOPCon cell technology, this series delivers a remarkable power output of 510W+ and an efficiency of 22.9%. Noted for its longer lifespan and minimal power degradation, Vertex S+ Black Series is engineered to optimize long-term value for customers. This series addresses substantial power needs of large-scale enterprises with high power consumption, such as glass manufacturing, chemicals, and other heavy manufacturing sectors, thereby contributing to reduce carbon emissions. Given its flexible installation options, the Vertex S+ Black Series is particularly well-suited for locations with limited roof space and energy-intensive daily operations, such as villas, islands, regions with low solar irradiance, and tropical areas. This versatility enables it to effectively address challenges of power shortages and high electrical loads.

The NEG18R.25 incorporates a black design concept into every detail to achieve perfect full black aesthetics, presenting a 360-degree sci-tech aesthetic experience. Uniform black color between all cells, between cells and frames, and between modules, ensures that NEG18R.25 seamlessly integrates with a variety of rooftops, enhancing both functionality and visual appeal.
The NEG18RC.27 innovates by utilizing transparent laminates instead of traditional white backsheets for further improving light transmittance. This feature makes it applicable for corridors, carports, farm sheds, sunrooms, and other scenarios. Combined with a black aesthetic design, it blends into landmark buildings, infusing modern cities with vibrant energy and sustainability.
With a 1.6+1.6mm dual-glass design, this series is lightweight for easy transportation. The panels are safe and reliable due to exceptional fire rating and mechanical load (positive: 5400Pa; negative: 2400Pa), ensuring stable performance in harsh environments. Notably, its 11% carbon emission reduction during production underscores its commitment to low-carbon and sustainable development. Recognized for its excellence in environmentally friendly practices, the series has been awarded both EPD Norway and EPD International certifications by TÜV Rheinland.
