PV Product Performance
Power (measured in watts) and efficiency (how well panels convert sunlight to electricity) are some of the most common metrics used to compare solar panel products. While they are not the only means of comparison, they are important determinants in how much electricity you can produce with a solar panel system. Metrics like power tolerance and temperature coefficient are also important ways to analyze the potential performance of solar panels under the different conditions they will experience over their lifetime. Learn how panels from different manufacturers stack up against one another in our updated article about the best solar panels on the market.
| Rated Power | 315 |
|---|---|
| Rated Power per Cell | 4.38 |
| Efficiency | 16.27 |
| Temperature Coefficient | PMax: -0.423, Voc: -0.307 |
| Resiliency | Hail, Snow, Wind |
Warranty Specifications
Solar panels generally come with an output warranty covering the energy production of the panel, and a materials warranty protecting you against undue wear and tear on your equipment. Learn more about solar panel warranties.
| Output Warranty Term | 25 |
|---|---|
| Output at End of Warranty Term | 80.18 |
| Materials Warranty Term | 10 |
Solar Panel Aesthetics
Solar panels typically have black or blue cells, white, silver, or black backsheets, and silver or black frames. Bifacial solar panels are one exception to these rules, as they have transparent backsheets.
| Cell Colors | black |
|---|---|
| Frame Colors | silver |
| Backsheet Colors | white |
Physical Characteristics
The physical characteristics of a solar panel have an impact on the product’s performance. For example, metrics like efficiency and wattage are based on the type, size, and number of solar cells used in a panel.
| Cell Type | Monocrystalline |
|---|---|
| Panel Dimensions | D:50, L:1956, W:990 |
| Cell Count | 72 |
| Connector Type | MC4 |
Manufacturer Location
Solar panels are made all around the world. While the bulk of solar panel manufacturers are based in Asia, companies in the United States, Canada, and other countries also produce high-quality photovoltaics.
