The M490 is the world's first module to combine RearCon module technology<\/strong> with highly efficient HiR cell technology.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner css=\".vc_custom_1744102561900{margin-top: 40px !important;}\"][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

World first: RearCon meets HIR<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With the M490<\/a>, Megasol combines two technologies that have never before been combined in a single product. The RearCon technology<\/strong>, in which all visible contacts are moved to the rear of the module, enables a completely black, visually unobstructed surface<\/strong>. In combination with HiR cells<\/strong>, this creates a module that sets new standards in both performance<\/strong> and design<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=\".vc_custom_1744102561900{margin-top: 40px !important;}\"][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Highest performance on the market<\/strong>
    \nWith a nominal output of 490 Wp and a power output per square metre of 240 Wp\/m\u00b2 (without bifacial effect), the M490 achieves an unprecedented efficiency rating of 24%.
    \nBy comparison, the market average is 220\u2013225 Wp\/m\u00b2, with an efficiency of 21\u201323%.<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. High reliability<\/strong>
