Vikram Solar unveiled its latest Hypersol Pro series modules at REI 2025
The design adopts a built-in blocking diode
The G12R offers a rated power output of 640 W and an efficiency of 23.69%, while the M10R version offers 610 W of power and 23.61% efficiency
During REI Expo 2025, Vikram Solar, a well-known Indian PV module maker, unveiled its latest product, Hypersol Pro. A
n in-built blocking diode-based design is the key feature of the product, according to the company.
Unlike the bypass diodes that are connected across substrings of the module, blocking diodes are typically employed in series with the output terminals (+ and -). The former bypasses individual substrings, which partially come under shades of a variety of external factors, by switching forward bias mode. However, the latter blocks any potential power flow into the series-connected PV modules or string due to a voltage mismatch. For residential or commercial & industrial (C&I) hybrid battery energy storage system (BESS), this feature protects the battery from discharging into the connected PV strings during the night. On the other hand, for utility projects with PV strings placed close to each other, it restricts the reverse flow of energy to the shaded string and ensures ‘zero reverse power loss’ during daytime. The company states that this unilateral flow of current ensures consistent power output and increases energy yield. Additionally, this latest design supports hotspot-resistant performance of embedded cells and extends module lifetime by preventing reverse current flow between parallel PV strings.
The Hypersol Pro n-type module series is available in 2 variants, G12R and M10R, each featuring 144 half-cut cells. While both share the same cell configuration, the performance differs. The former module (G12R) offers a rated power output of 640 W and an efficiency of 23.69%, while the latter (M10R) offers 610 W of power and 23.61% efficiency.
The company targets these modules at a range of applications, including rooftop, ground-mounted, and floating. Vikram Solar added that these can be integrated into various grid configurations, like hybrid, bi-directional, and smart grids.
The commercialization details of these products are yet unknown.
