The elimination of traditional busbars and gaps between cells allows for maximum utilization of the available module surface area for energy generation. Thanks to a unique production process, these panels offer significantly more power per square meter than standard solutions, making them an ideal choice for investments with limited roof space. The **Pure Black** architecture not only provides an elegant, uniform appearance, but also improves thermal parameters and reduces the risk of micro-cracks. An innovative approach to current collection minimizes transmission losses and increases resistance to partial shading, which directly translates into a higher **energy yield** in difficult installation conditions. These products have been designed with durability in mind, eliminating typical points of mechanical failure found in conventional modules. By choosing the PowerXT Commercial series, investors receive a solution combining **maximum power density** with exceptional aesthetics, which sets these panels apart from mass-market competition. This is the optimal choice for demanding commercial projects, where every watt of power and reliability over decades of operation matter. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 19.8% is 2.0pp below the \*\*database\*\* median (21.8%) - Power density of 198.7 W/m² is 19.4 W/m² below \*\*database\*\* median (218.1 W/m²) - needs more roof space - Temperature coefficient of -0.39%/°C is 0.09pp worse than \*\*database\*\* median (-0.30%/°C) - higher losses in summer heat - At 29.0 kg, this panel is 2.5 kg heavier than the \*\*database\*\* median (26.5 kg) - more demanding for installation crews - Ranked #12416 out of 14005 panels for efficiency in the database ## Questions ### What is shingled cell technology in Solaria PowerXT Commercial panels and why does it matter? Shingled cell technology eliminates traditional busbars and gaps between cells — cells overlap like roof shingles, maximizing the module's active surface area. This results in higher energy yield per square meter, better resistance to partial shading, and reduced risk of microcracks. The PowerXT Commercial series reaches up to 430 Wp with efficiency exceeding 20%, making it competitive even against newer half-cut module designs. ### What warranty does the Solaria PowerXT Commercial series carry? The Solaria PowerXT Commercial series comes with a 25-year product warranty and a 25-year power output warranty. The manufacturer guarantees both the absence of manufacturing defects and the maintenance of a specified efficiency level for a full quarter century — one of the longest warranty standards available in the photovoltaic module market. ### Is the Solaria PowerXT Commercial series still available for purchase? The Solaria PowerXT Commercial series has been discontinued. The company underwent major restructuring — Complete Solaria acquired the brand's assets, and the shingled cell technology patents were sold to Maxeon. New orders are no longer fulfilled by the manufacturer; limited stock may occasionally appear through distributors, but availability is highly uncertain. ### What are the dimensions and weight of the Solaria PowerXT Commercial 430W module — is it suitable for a typical commercial rooftop? The Solaria PowerXT Commercial 430W panel measures 1957×1076×35 mm and weighs approximately 21.3 kg. This is a relatively compact form factor for a 430 Wp module, making transport and installation easier on both flat and pitched commercial rooftops. The smaller footprint also provides greater layout flexibility on roofs with chimneys, skylights, or antennas. ### How do Solaria PowerXT Commercial panels perform under partial shading in a commercial installation? Thanks to the shingled cell architecture and optimized current flow path, the PowerXT Commercial series is significantly more resistant to partial shading than conventional modules with full cells and busbars. Shading part of the module does not cause as drastic a power drop across the entire string — a critical advantage for commercial installations with multiple roof obstructions. ### Are Solaria PowerXT Commercial panels bifacial? No — the Solaria PowerXT Commercial series is a monofacial (single-sided) panel. Electricity is generated exclusively through the front active surface of the module. The Pure Black architecture with a black backsheet provides a sleek, uniform aesthetic for the installation, but the module does not harvest additional energy from albedo light reflected off the ground. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/datasheet-powerxt-com-pd-bd-rev-2d-09-12-2018-3be32846f061.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [AIKO AIKO-A480-MAH54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a480-mah54mw) | 480 W | Cooler, lighter, +4.3 pp | | [Gokin GK-5-54HG-480M](https://comparepv.com/panel/gokin-gk-5-54hg-480m) | 480 W | Cooler, lighter, +4.3 pp | | [Jinko Solar JKM480N-48QL6-DB-F2-EU](https://comparepv.com/panel/jinko-solar-jkm480n-48ql6-db-f2-eu) | 480 W | +50 W, cooler, +4.2 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA96N-PRO-480W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka96n-pro-480w) | 480 W | Cooler, lighter, +4.2 pp | | [Solaria Solaria PowerXT-410C-BD](https://comparepv.com/panel/solaria-solaria-powerxt-410c-bd) | 410 W | -20 W, -0.9 pp | | [Solaria Solaria PowerXT-420C-BD](https://comparepv.com/panel/solaria-solaria-powerxt-420c-bd) | 420 W | -10 W, -0.4 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-560M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-560m) | 560 W | +130 W, cooler, +5.0 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-555M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-555m) | 555 W | +125 W, cooler, +4.8 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVHL-550M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvhl-550m) | 550 W | Cooler, lighter, +4.6 pp | | [JA Solar JAT60S40-540/LR](https://comparepv.com/panel/ja-solar-jat60s40-540-lr) | 540 W | +110 W, cooler, +4.6 pp | | [Gokin GK-5-60HG-540M](https://comparepv.com/panel/gokin-gk-5-60hg-540m) | 540 W | +110 W, cooler, +4.6 pp | | [Jinko Solar JKM545-54QL6-DV-F1-EU](https://comparepv.com/panel/jinko-solar-jkm545-54ql6-dv-f1-eu) | 545 W | +115 W, cooler, +4.5 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-545M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-545m) | 545 W | +115 W, cooler, +4.4 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/solaria-solaria-powerxt-430c-pd Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
