The GS500M-72 is a proven workhorse for cost-sensitive projects: a 500W monocrystalline module using PERC (Passivated Emitter Rear Cell) technology to reach 22% module efficiency. With a Vmp of 35.91V and Voc of 43.48V, it strings comfortably with mainstream 1000V and 1500V inverters for both rooftop and ground-mounted arrays.
For buyers balancing upfront cost against lifetime yield, the 500W PERC series offers mature technology, stable supply and strong bankability – a dependable choice for residential, commercial and small utility projects across Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Key Features
- Proven PERC technology: 22% module efficiency from 144 half-cut 182mm monocrystalline cells.
- Inverter-friendly voltage: 35.91V Vmp / 43.48V Voc suits mainstream 1000V/1500V string inverters.
- Practical format: 2115 x 1052 x 35mm, 26.5kg – sized for container loading and two-person handling.
- Climate durability: anti-PID cell treatment and IP67 junction box keep degradation low in hot, humid regions.
- Structural ratings: 55m/s wind and 1.5kN/m² snow load with 35mm anodized aluminium frame.
- Warranty cover: 12-year product and 25-year performance warranty.
Typical Applications
Cost-sensitive residential, commercial and small utility projects, especially in hot and humid climates across Africa, Asia and Latin America where anti-PID protection matters.
Common Pain Points We Solve
- Tight project budgets: a mature, fully depreciated PERC line gives factory-direct cost per watt without sacrificing 22% efficiency.
- Batch inconsistency: every module is flash-tested and 100% EL-inspected under our ISO 9001 quality system, keeping DOA rates near zero.
- Warranty claim hassles: the 12-year product warranty is backed by the factory directly, and spare modules can ship with your order for instant field replacement.
- Logistics cost: the 2115 x 1052mm format is optimized for container loading, and mixed containers with BOS items cut freight per watt.
