Pros
  • Lowest output loss over time of these panels: 92% guaranteed after 25 years
  • Loses less output on hot roofs than TOPCon panels (-0.24%/°C power coefficient)
  • 460 W from a panel about the size of a 430 W TOPCon panel, so more power per roof
Cons
  • About $0.62 a watt or more, well above TOPCon panels
  • 65.7 V open-circuit voltage is far above typical 108-cell panels, so check microinverter or optimizer input limits
  • The 25-year product warranty needs an REC-certified installer; otherwise it is 20 years
