The HQST Compact Bifacial 200W is a 200-watt n-type monocrystalline (bifacial) option best suited to ground mounts and accessory roofs. Dual-sided capture, up to 30% rear gain.
Overview
The HQST Compact Bifacial 200W is an all-black N-Type panel roughly 13% smaller than a conventional 200W module, with a rear face that harvests reflected light for extra yield over bright surfaces.
At about 25.4% cell efficiency it packs more output into less roof area — useful on a crowded RV or manufactured-home roof where every square foot is spoken for.
Features & real-world use
Generates power from both sides
The bifacial cells harvest reflected light off the surface below — up to 30% extra output over a bright roof, concrete, or sand.
One panel instead of two
A single compact 200W panel replaces a pair of 100W modules — about 18% smaller, 26% lighter, with 50% fewer mounts and cables and a lower total system cost.
Next-gen N-Type cells
Up to 25.4% cell efficiency, a 30-year 87.4% output warranty, a low -0.29%/°C temperature coefficient, and better low-light performance than standard PERC.
Hot-spot protection built in
Bypass diodes automatically route around a shaded or damaged cell, reducing heat buildup and the power loss that plagues cheaper panels.
Built for real outdoor use
A corrosion-resistant black aluminum frame, IP68 waterproof rating, 16BB Grade A+ cells, and four pre-drilled mounting holes.
Invest once, power for decades
A 30-year performance warranty (87.4% output) and 5-year product warranty back the panel.
Built for any roof, deck, or vehicle
The compact bifacial panel is a framed glass module whose rear face harvests reflected light, so it does best on a rack, metal roof, or bright surface — mounted through its four pre-drilled holes, not adhered flat.
RV & trailer roofs
Bolt through the four pre-drilled holes onto a fiberglass or metal roof; a light roof reflects extra light onto the rear face.
Ground racks & arrays
Tilt-mounted over gravel, concrete, or grass, the bifacial back face adds free reflected yield.
Metal & standing-seam roofs
A bright metal roof bounces light onto the rear cells — an ideal home for a bifacial module.
Vans & campers
Compact and lighter than two 100W panels, so it fits a crowded van roof with fewer mounts.
Cabins & outbuildings
A durable framed array for an off-grid shed or cabin, expandable over time.
Boats with rail mounts
The framed panel clamps to rails or an arch where its weight is well supported.

Roof-load fit for manufactured homes
Rigid glass-and-aluminum modules add roughly 3.3–4 psf installed. On a manufactured roof (often only 10–15 psf dead-load capacity) this is best mounted on a ground rack, carport, or accessory structure rather than the home's roof.
How a rigid module's weight stacks up against lightweight flexible panels — the key roof-load factor:
Pros & cons
👍 Pros
- High efficiency (25.4%) packs more watts into limited roof space
- Premium N-Type/TOPCon cells with better low-light and heat performance
- Bifacial — captures reflected light off the back for bonus output
👎 Cons
- Heavy rigid glass — concentrates point-loads; not ideal for a manufactured roof
Is the HQST Compact Bifacial 200W right for your mobile home?
Choose this panel if your priority is ground mounts and accessory roofs. As a rigid module, it delivers the most watts per dollar when mounted on a ground rack, carport, or accessory structure rather than the home's thin roof deck.
