India's Gautam Solar has unveiled its new G2X bifacial module line. The new products are available in peak power outputs ranging from 520 W to 550 W, with with front side conversion efficiencies between 20.11% and 21.27% under standard temperature conditions.

The open-circuit voltage is 48.83-49.48 V, and the short-circuit current is 13.55 A to 13.92 A. The rear side reportedly offers a 10% to 30% additional gain in power generation.

The modules also feature an IP68-rated split junction box with an individual bypass diode and an anodized aluminum alloy frame. The module can be used with operating temperatures of between -40 C and 85 C. Its operating temperature coefficient is -0.30% per degree Celsius.
