Panels feature **glass with an antireflection coating**, which enhances light transmission and helps maintain production even with diffuse radiation. In practice, this means less fluctuation in yields on cloudy days and better utilization of morning and afternoon sunlight. A key advantage of the series is **PID resistance** and the use of durable, **UV-resistant encapsulation**, which minimizes the risk of power degradation over the long term and increases investment security. Additionally, the modules are **current-matched**, making it easier to build strings with balanced parameters and reduce losses due to mismatching. EDO PRO SERIES is suitable for rooftop and ground installations for homes, businesses, and PV farms - especially where resilience to harsh conditions is important, such as salt mist, dust, or hail. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 19.8% matches the \*\*PERC 0-400W\*\* median - At 198.4 W/m² power density, this panel generates 4.0 W/m² more per unit area than \*\*PERC 0-400W\*\* median (194.4 W/m²) - At -0.37%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for \*\*PERC 0-400W\*\* panels - At 21.5 kg, weight matches the \*\*PERC 0-400W\*\* median - #12412 for efficiency, #13081 for temperature performance out of 14005 panels ## Questions ### Is the Waaree EDO PRO SERIES 395W panel still available for purchase? No, the EDO PRO SERIES has been discontinued from Waaree's current production lineup and replaced by newer, higher-power models. Availability is now limited to remaining warehouse stock from distributors holding final production batches. It's worth checking current stock levels and manufacturing date with the seller, since limited ongoing supply can make it harder to source matching modules for future system expansion. ### What warranty comes with Waaree EDO PRO SERIES panels? The manufacturer provides a 10-year product warranty covering material and workmanship defects, plus a 25-year power performance warranty. This means the panel should still deliver a significant share of its rated output after a quarter century of operation. This is standard for Tier 1 manufacturers and gives investors predictable returns over the system's long-term lifecycle. ### What is PID resistance in EDO PRO SERIES panels and why does it matter? PID (Potential Induced Degradation) is power loss caused by voltage differences between the cells and the frame, worsening in hot, humid climates. EDO PRO SERIES panels are tested for PID resistance and use durable, UV-resistant encapsulation, reducing the risk of sudden output drops after several years of operation. For investors, this means lower risk of unexpected efficiency loss over the system's lifetime. ### What does current-matching in EDO PRO SERIES mean and how does it affect system output? Current matching means sorting panels with similar current values before wiring them into a string. This keeps cells operating under comparable electrical conditions, reducing mismatch losses caused by differences between modules. In practice, this results in higher real-world string yield compared to randomly selected panels, especially in larger utility-scale PV farm installations. ### Is Waaree a Tier 1 manufacturer, and what does that mean for buyers of EDO PRO SERIES? Yes, Waaree Energies is an Indian manufacturer classified as Tier 1 by Bloomberg NEF, confirming financial stability, production capacity, and creditworthiness for lenders financing PV projects. For buyers, this means easier access to project financing, lower risk of the manufacturer going out of business during the warranty period, and greater confidence in the quality control behind EDO PRO SERIES modules. ### Are EDO PRO SERIES panels suitable for harsh environments, such as coastal installations? Yes, the series was designed for resilience against challenging conditions like salt mist, dust, and hail, thanks to durable antireflective-coated glass and resistant encapsulation. This makes the 395W panels suitable for both rooftop and ground-mount installations in coastal or dusty regions, though for very aggressive environments it's worth also verifying the frame's corrosion resistance rating. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/edo-pro-series-wsm-380-395-9cde6d3904-d3a171a0e524.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [Luxor Solar LX-440M/182-108+GG](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-440m-182-108-gg) | 440 W | Cooler, +3.2 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M360W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m360w) | 360 W | Lighter, +3.2 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M380W (1/4\*4\*38)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m380w-1-4-4-38) | 380 W | Lighter, +3.2 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M400W (1/2\*4\*20)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m400w-1-2-4-20) | 400 W | Lighter, +3.2 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M400W (1/4\*4\*40)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m400w-1-4-4-40) | 400 W | Lighter, +3.2 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M380W (1/2\*4\*19)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m380w-1-2-4-19) | 380 W | Lighter, +3.2 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Jetion JT440SYK(B)](https://comparepv.com/panel/jetion-jt440syk-b) | 440 W | Cooler, +3.1 pp, +5 yr warranty | | [Luxor Solar LX-440M/182-108+](https://comparepv.com/panel/luxor-solar-lx-440m-182-108) | 440 W | +45 W, cooler, +3.0 pp | | [Waaree WS-320](https://comparepv.com/panel/waaree-ws-320) | 320 W | -75 W, hotter, -3.8 pp | | [Waaree WS-325](https://comparepv.com/panel/waaree-ws-325) | 325 W | -70 W, hotter, -3.5 pp | | [Waaree WS-330](https://comparepv.com/panel/waaree-ws-330) | 330 W | -65 W, hotter, -3.3 pp | | [Waaree WS-335](https://comparepv.com/panel/waaree-ws-335) | 335 W | -60 W, hotter, -3.0 pp | | [Waaree WS-340](https://comparepv.com/panel/waaree-ws-340) | 340 W | -55 W, hotter, -2.8 pp | | [Waaree WS-345](https://comparepv.com/panel/waaree-ws-345) | 345 W | -50 W, hotter, -2.5 pp | | [Waaree WS-350](https://comparepv.com/panel/waaree-ws-350) | 350 W | -45 W, hotter, -2.3 pp | | [Waaree WSM-380](https://comparepv.com/panel/waaree-wsm-380) | 380 W | -15 W, -0.8 pp | | [Maxeon SPR-MAX7-475](https://comparepv.com/panel/maxeon-spr-max7-475) | 475 W | Cooler, +4.2 pp, +15 yr warranty | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/waaree-wsm-395 Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
