We came in contact with a1solarstore about 6 months ago. We explained that we need to build a system for our factory in Louisiana. This was the model they offered us. The product was supplied in time, the staff was very professional. The installation took a long time as it is with projects of this scale. The performance is great! It impressed us with how much energy you can actually get from a relatively average-size area. Thanks for the great recommendation, it was a pleasure doing business with you.

About product
DNA_120_BF10 is part of the 440W Series — one of the most recent made by Aptos Solar. These panels employ cutting-edge technologies to achieve superior efficiency and reliability. This panel takes full advantage of the Passivated Emitter Rear Contact (PERC) technology that allows it to capture up to 12% more energy. All thanks to a reflective layer on the back. This design maximizes the number of photons absorbed by solar cells.
Half-cut cell technology adds a few more percent to the overall performance, making this model a great example of efficiency. Aptos Solar made solar cells in DNA_120_BF10 two times smaller than the standard size, thus reducing power loss and improving low-light behavior. Given its size and weight, DNA_120_BF10 efficiency of 20.39% is quite impressive. And while conventional panels use only one side to absorb photons, bifacial modules employ both sides at the same time. Thanks to the technology, this model can be up to 30% more efficient. Novel design solutions allow this panel to look as well as it performs. This model is just 1.3" in depth and is jet black with a sleek finish. The panel's functionality and durability are not affected by its aesthetic appeal though. Aptos Solar provides a 30-year product warranty. Stable power output is also guaranteed — performance warranty will protect you during 30 years.

After the 30 years are over, your modules will still show at least 82.34% of nominal capacity. A substantial 30-year product warranty is also included with this 440 W Aptos Solar solar panel.
A panel that can handle hail, wind and snow
This module is weatherproof due to the 1.3" frame manufactured from anodized aluminum and a layer of safety tempered glass. The modules' front and rear sides can withstand loads of 5400 and 5400 Pa, respectively.
Outstanding all-black design
The panel has a sleek, all-black style that complements any roof beautifully. Aptos Solar uses unique treatment and selection procedures to guarantee optimum cell color. The cells are connected by thinner wires, and from a distance, the surface of the modules seems seamless and smooth.
