A budget 4-pack of large 450 W panels for a home roof, shed or ground-mount array on a 24 V or 48 V MPPT system. Too big for RVs and vans.

- About 69 cents per watt for 1,800 W, a low-cost way to start a home backup or off-grid array
- UL 61730 and CEC listed, which permit offices and utilities typically require for home rooftop installs
- 12-year workmanship warranty, much longer than the 5 years common on budget panels
- Older PERC cells: about 21% module efficiency, so it takes more roof area per watt than newer N-type panels
- 41.7 V open-circuit voltage per panel needs an MPPT controller; at about 75 x 45 in and 54 lb each it is a two-person lift
- Sold only in packs, and no independent output test yet

Alternatives in this size
A large-panel pair for a cabin, shed or ground-mount array with a high-voltage MPPT controller. Too big and too high-voltage for most van and small RV setups.
