3.4

For a van roof where a 175 W panel fits better than a 200 W one, on a 12 V system with a simple controller. Where space allows, a 200 W N-type panel gives more for the money.

  • 10-year materials and workmanship warranty, double the usual 5 years
Cons
  • Lower module efficiency (19.8%) than newer N-type panels, so it is larger and heavier per watt
  • Costs more per watt than most 200 W panels
  • No independent output test yet
