Notes from the database
  • Efficiency of 21.3% matches the PERC 550-600W median
  • At 212.9 W/m² power density, roof space requirements are typical for PERC 550-600W panels
  • Temperature coefficient of -0.30%/°C vs median -0.35%/°C means ~2% less power loss at 65°C
  • At 32.2 kg (1.4 kg above PERC 550-600W median of 30.8 kg), requires checking roof load capacity
  • Ranked #8708 out of 14005 panels for efficiency in the database
