- About 66 cents per watt for a single 425 W panel, so a large array needs fewer panels, brackets and connections
- UL 61730 listed, which permit offices and utilities typically require for home rooftop installs
- Bifacial glass back adds output when ground-mounted over light gravel, concrete or snow
- 38.6 V open-circuit voltage rules out 12 V PWM controllers, and two in series exceed the 60 V solar input of many power stations
- At about 68 x 45 in and over 50 lb it is a two-person lift and too big for most RV and van roofs
- Only 5 years of workmanship warranty, and no independent output test yet
