FuturaSun panels, read off the datasheets

FuturaSun is an Italian manufacturer of high-performance photovoltaic modules, founded in 2008 in Veneto, the heart of Italy's PV industry. The company distributes solar panels in more than 70 countries and operates production facilities in Taizhou, Asia, with a capacity of around...

Everything below is computed from those 36 datasheets: no score out of ten, no ranking of brands against each other, and nothing a manufacturer can pay to change. Where FuturaSun does not publish a figure, it is left out of the average rather than assumed.

The top of the range

The leaders of FuturaSun's own catalogue on the two figures a specification sheet leads with. Neither is a verdict: the most efficient module in a range is rarely the one that suits a given roof.

By what the array is for

Three cuts of the same catalogue, each ordered by efficiency inside its band. An empty column means the brand does not build for that case.

What the catalogue is made of

Cell technology across the market

Shares are of the 36 modules in the database, counted once each. A power ladder of one module counts as its rungs, which is why a large catalogue is not the same as a wide one.

Cell technology share of the catalogue
TOPCon 50.0% 18 PERC 44.4% 16 HJT 5.6% 2
TOPCon accounts for 50.0% of the catalogue - 18 of 36 modules.

Strengths and gaps

Both lists are derived from the figures above rather than written about the brand. A gap here is a gap in what is published, which is not always a gap in what is built.

What this catalogue is good at
  • High-efficiency panels available (up to 23.2%)
  • Strong warranty coverage averaging 27 years
  • High-power panels available (up to 720W) for commercial applications
  • Large-scale production capacity of 1 GW
