The BougeRV N-Type 12V/24V 200W Bifacial 16BB Solar Panel Lets You Match Your System Voltage With One Compact, Two-Sided 200W Panel
The BougeRV N-Type 12V/24V 200W Bifacial 16BB Solar Panel is a rigid, framed panel with N-type TOPCon 16BB cells rated at 25% efficiency and a transparent back that collects light from both sides. You choose the 12V Standard Voltage version or the 24V High-Voltage version, then order 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 or 10 panels.
BougeRV sized both versions for crowded campervan roofs, marine bimini tops and compact off-road trailers, and says the panel works with on-grid and off-grid inverters for home use too. Pre-drilled holes on the back make bracket mounting straightforward.
BougeRV N-Type 12V/24V 200W Bifacial 16BB Solar Panel Features
Two Voltage Versions for Different Systems
The 12V version is rated at 24.4V Vmp, 8.2A Imp, 28V Voc and 8.6A Isc. The 24V version is rated at 31.7V Vmp, 6.3A Imp, 36.4V Voc and 6.6A Isc. All values are ±5%, and both versions produce 200W ±5%.
N-Type TOPCon Cells at 25% Efficiency
BougeRV explains that N-type TOPCon cells use a thin tunnel oxide layer and passivated contacts to reduce electron recombination, which raises efficiency and helps performance in low light. The 12V version uses 80 cells and the 24V version uses 104 cells.
16BB Cells for Better Current Collection
Sixteen busbars on each cell collect and conduct current with less resistance and power loss than designs with fewer busbars. BougeRV says this also extends the panel's service life.
Bifacial Back Captures Reflected Light
Instead of an opaque back, the panel has a transparent backside that absorbs direct, reflected and diffuse sunlight. BougeRV suggests mounting it on a tilt mount bracket.
Weather-Ready Glass and Frame
A 0.13 inch (3.2 mm) tempered glass front and a black anodized aluminum alloy frame resist corrosion outdoors. The panel carries an IP68 rating, a 2400 Pa front and back load rating, Class A application rating and an operating range of -40°F to +185°F (-40°C to +85°C).
MC4 Leads and High System Voltage Rating
Each panel has 3 ft (900 mm) 14AWG MC4 cables, a 1000V DC max system voltage and a 15A max series fuse rating, so you can build larger arrays within your controller's limits.
Real-World Applications
Campervan roofs. Fit 200W into a compact footprint of about 51 x 30 inches.
Boats. Fit the compact panel on a marine bimini top to charge onboard batteries.
Off-road trailers. Add solar to a small trailer roof where every inch counts.
Home power. Combine several panels with an on-grid or off-grid inverter, using the 6, 8 or 10 PCS sets.
Practical Comparison
12V Version Versus 24V Version
The 12V version has a lower 28V Voc and higher 8.2A Imp. The 24V version has a higher 36.4V Voc with 6.3A Imp, is slightly smaller at 50.7 x 30.2 inches and weighs 22.5 lb. Pick the version that matches your system voltage and controller input range.
Bifacial Panel Versus a Single-Sided Panel
A single-sided panel has an opaque back and collects light only on its front. This panel's transparent back also collects reflected and diffuse light, adding output from light that reaches its rear face.
N-Type TOPCon Versus PERC Panels
BougeRV says TOPCon panels generally reach higher efficiency than PERC panels because the tunnel oxide layer and passivated contacts reduce electron recombination.
Buyer Guidance
Choosing Voltage and Quantity
Match the version to your battery bank and charge controller, and check the array's open-circuit voltage and current against the controller's input limits before wiring. Each voltage comes in sets of 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 or 10 panels.
Mounting Plan
The 12V version measures 51.6 x 30.2 x 1.4 inches and weighs 22.8 lb, and the 24V version measures 50.7 x 30.2 x 1.4 inches and weighs 22.5 lb. Use the pre-drilled holes on the back with a bracket. BougeRV suggests a tilt mount, which you buy separately.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- You need a 12V or a 24V panel
- Your roof space is limited
- You can mount it to catch reflected light
- You want room to add panels later
Common Questions
What Are 16BB Solar Panels?
They use 16 busbars to collect and conduct electricity, which helps reduce resistance and power loss compared with panels that have fewer busbars.
What Are the Benefits of a Bifacial Panel?
BougeRV says bifacial panels generate more energy than single-sided panels because they produce power from both sides.
How Should I Install It?
BougeRV suggests a tilt mount bracket so the panel can absorb sunlight efficiently as the sun moves without constant adjustment.
What Warranty Does It Have?
BougeRV lists a 10-year product warranty and a 30-year performance warranty for both versions.
What's Included
- 1 x BougeRV N-Type 200W Bifacial 16BB Solar Panel (12V or 24V Version)
The 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10 PCS options include that many panels of the selected voltage.
Flexible Voltage Choice in a Compact Bifacial Panel
The BougeRV N-Type 12V/24V 200W Bifacial 16BB Solar Panel pairs 25% efficient N-type TOPCon cells with a transparent bifacial back, IP68 protection and a 30-year performance warranty in 12V and 24V versions.
