Astronergy has received an “Overall Highest Achiever” award from the Renewable Energy Test Center (RETC) during SNEC 2025, highlighting the exceptional performance of its flagship ASTRO N7 module, which has recently undergone a major upgrade incorporating cutting-edge TOPCon 5.0 cell technology.
Designed to push the boundaries of efficiency, durability and long-term reliability, the ASTRO N7 achieved outstanding results across all disciplines of RETC’s Thresher Test program—one of the most rigorous and comprehensive testing standards in the global PV industry. The module demonstrated exceptional durability, with less than 0.6% power loss in thermal cycling (TC600) and only 0.5% degradation in PID (Potential-Induced Degradation) testing, proving its resilience against long-term voltage stress and harsh climates. It also displayed strong mechanical robustness and UV stability, including in the UVID (Ultraviolet-Induced Degradation) test, where power loss remained well below industry concern thresholds.
“Earning RETC’s highest honour with our ASTRO N7 product is not just a recognition — it is a validation of Astronergy’s commitment to science-driven innovation and uncompromising quality,” commented EVP and CSO Haiyan Huang. “With the integration of TOPCon 5.0 technology, ASTRO N7 is engineered for next-generation solar projects that require both peak performance and lasting resilience.”
