How to use panel specifications

  • Higher module efficiency can matter when usable roof area is limited.
  • Panel wattage affects how many modules are needed for a given system size, but wattage alone does not determine annual production.
  • Temperature behavior, shading, inverter design and roof orientation also affect real-world output.
  • Warranty terms have conditions. Always review the current manufacturer warranty and installer workmanship coverage before signing a contract.
