Motech panels, read off the datasheets

Motech Industries Inc. is dedicated to the research, development, and manufacture of high-quality solar products and services, ranging from photovoltaic (PV) cells, PV modules, to PV power systems. The company has evolved from a test and measurement instruments designer and manufacturer to...

Everything below is computed from those 28 datasheets: no score out of ten, no ranking of brands against each other, and nothing a manufacturer can pay to change. Where Motech does not publish a figure, it is left out of the average rather than assumed.

The top of the range

The leaders of Motech'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.

For a house roof 380-460 Wp
1 XS60CF-455 Monocrystalline 455 Wp 21.0% 2 XS60CF-450 Monocrystalline 450 Wp 20.8% 3 XS60CF-445 Monocrystalline 445 Wp 20.6% 4 XS72CA-410 Monocrystalline 410 Wp 20.4% 5 XS72CA-405 Monocrystalline 405 Wp 20.1%
For a commercial array 500 Wp and up

What the catalogue is made of

Cell technology across the market

Shares are of the 28 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
Unknown 78.6% 22 N-type 10.7% 3 TOPCon 10.7% 3
Unknown accounts for 78.6% of the catalogue - 22 of 28 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 22.9%)
  • Strong warranty coverage averaging 25 years
  • Established manufacturer with 45+ years of experience
  • Large-scale production capacity of 1.2+ GW
Where it is thin
  • Average efficiency of 20.1% is below the industry leading edge
  • Limited bifacial panel options
  • Limited adoption of latest cell technologies (TOPCon/HJT)
