ASTRO N5 vs. JA Solar Bifacial: Breaking Down the Performance

23 May 2025

When it comes to solar panels, one of the most impressive and amazing technological feats that the industry has so far performed is the bifacial solar panel. Promising increased efficiency as well as energy generation metrics, the bifacial solar panel is among the most sought-after pieces of solar energy technology, with consumers—residential and commercial alike—preferring this innovation to ensure the generation prowess of bifacial modules benefits them by providing exceptional efficiency. As such, these panels are quite popular, always in demand, and only some of the best manufacturers are able to deliver a bifacial panel in terms of quality, energy generation and longevity.

Which is why, in this blog post, we will take a closer look at two of the best-performing bifacial solar panels in Pakistan, both of them from world-class manufacturers: Astronergy ASTRO N5 and JA Solar Bifacial N-type. These two manufacturers are renowned for their quality products, for their prowess in the solar energy industry, and most of all, for providing products that out-deliver and outperform the competition, always. So, let’s start with some basic tenets of both panels and understand which one might be better for consumers in Pakistan.

ASTRO N5 vs. JA Solar Bifacial: Deep Dive

Let’s start by taking a look at both solar panels and run a quick comparison of their standout features.

Astronergy ASTRO N5

Astronergy takes pride in the fact that their solar panels are exceptionally well-built and require minimal or no maintenance, and even with that, the warranties that come with the ASTRO N5 Bifacial Series are incredible. Supplied exclusively through ZNC Solar, one of Pakistan’s best solar energy equipment suppliers, Astronergy offers a 15-year product warranty on the panel itself, with a guarantee of 1 percent first-year degradation. For the subsequent years, the annual degradation or loss of generation potential is limited to 0.4 percent over a whopping 30 years.

In accordance with the high-efficiency module that the ASTRO N5 Bifacial Series is, Astronergy also offers a 30-year linear power-output warranty, meaning that aside from the minimal drop in generation potential, even a 25-year-old panel will perform almost like new—an outstanding testament to its build quality and efficiency retention.

The ASTRO N5 also boasts advanced PID protection, ensuring virtually zero potential-induced degradation throughout its lifespan, so owners enjoy maximum generation potential year after year.

JA Solar Bifacial N-type

With a panel as technologically superior and amazing as the JA Solar Bifacial N-type, you gain the efficiency of a best-in-class solar panel from a world-class manufacturer. Being bifacial, JA Solar increases generation on the rear side, meaning that during the afternoon—when production typically dips—the panel can still produce substantial energy.

The JA Solar Bifacial N-type is among the most efficient panels currently offered in Pakistan. Thanks to its dual-sided design, maximum outputs approach 600 W, making it plentiful for residential or commercial requirements.

JA Solar panels are also renowned for robustness. Distributed by ZNC Solar in Pakistan, this module ships with a 12-year materials & workmanship warranty and a 30-year linear power-performance warranty. Its strong frame design mitigates micro-crack impacts, preserving long-term efficiency.
