About product
DNA-120-MF10-460W is part of the DNA-120-MF10 Series — one of the most recent made by Aptos Solar. These panels employ cutting-edge technologies to achieve superior efficiency and reliability. The advanced selective emitter PERC technology ensures excellent power output. This solar cell type employs an additional reflective layer to absorb more sunlight.
Another advantage is the half-cut cell technology. DNA-120-MF10-460W has solar cells half the size of those installed in conventional panels. The main benefits are decreased power loss, improved longevity and better low-light performance. Not surprisingly, the efficiency of this module is quite high – 21.26%. 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 paid as much attention to durability as they did to performance. DNA-120-MF10-460W is guaranteed to retain at least 82.4% of output after 30 years. Product warranty for this panel lasts 30 years.
This Aptos Solar panel provides 460 W power at 21.26% efficiency. High energy production levels are achieved through the usage of the latest advances in the solar industry, including advanced selective emitter PERC technology and state-of-the-art antireflective coating. An efficient panel yields more per square foot and pays for itself faster.
A high temperature coefficient translates to more energy as the temperature rises. Every 1.8°F increase over 77°F reduces the efficiency of your panel by just -0.35%.
Aptos Solar stringent production requirements include various tests to guarantee high quality. The facilities are highly automated, allowing the manufacturer to maintain high standards while keeping warranty claims to a minimum.
Slow degradation over the next 30 years is guaranteed by Aptos Solar. The performance will decrease no more than 2% during the first year and 0.54% annually thereafter. Your modules will retain at least 82.4% of original performance after the 30 years are over. This 460 W Aptos Solar solar panel also comes with a generous 30-year product warranty.
DNA-120-MF10-460W design makes it suitable for both residential and business rooftops. The use of a strong 1.3" frame composed of anodized aluminum alloy boosts durability and strength. The model can withstand a significant snow load of up to 5400 Pa. The panel's back can also withstand 5400 Pa, guaranteeing that your system will resist even the fiercest winds.
The sleek, all-black aesthetics of the panel will complement any rooftop. By using a variety of treatments and selection criteria, the producer guarantees high quality cell color. Engineers at Aptos Solar employ smaller gauge wires to link the cells together, creating a seamless appearance.

Aptos Solar Technology stands as an innovative American solar manufacturer with headquarters in Silicon Valley and manufacturing operations in Vietnam. Founded in 2019 by co-founders Alex Kim and Thanh "Frank" Pham, both veterans from Texas-based Mission Solar, the company has rapidly established itself in the competitive solar market through cutting-edge technology and superior warranties.
The company's breakthrough innovation centers on patented "Dual Nano Absorber" (DNA) technology, which creates high-efficiency solar cells with enhanced heat tolerances. This American-designed aptos solar technology combines rigorous quality standards with competitive pricing, positioning Aptos as a compelling alternative to traditional Tier 1 manufacturers for both residential and commercial applications.

Warranty
25-year product warranty. 30-year performance guarantee. Industry-leading coverage terms. Streamlined claims process.
Value
$0.7-$0.9 per watt pricing. Competitive with American manufacturers like Mission Solar and Silfab. Cost-effective DNA manufacturing.
The DNA-120 series features all-black monofacial and bifacial solar panels designed for residential applications, with monofacial modules ideal for standard rooftop installations and bifacial modules best for solar pergolas or ground-mount systems. These aptos bifacial solar panels deliver power outputs ranging from 360W to 460W, with newer models achieving higher efficiency ratings.
The residential-focused panels feature an all-black aesthetic design that enhances curb appeal while maximizing energy production. These panels utilize 120 half-cut solar cells with DNA technology, generating 360, 365, or 370 watts under Standard Test Conditions based on cell efficiency variations.
The 144 series comes in all-black mono- and bifacial varieties, plus a more efficient silver frame style with white backsheet. These larger commercial modules deliver superior power density for space-constrained installations, with aptos bifacial solar panels 440w options available for utility-scale projects.
DNA solar cells are cheaper to produce, have more active surface area, and demonstrate enhanced heat tolerance compared to conventional designs. Engineers eliminated corner-clipping of solar cells and revised the entire cell structure, adding intrinsic layers of negatively charged atoms to increase photon capture.
The Aptos team combined the best elements from PERC and bifacial cell technologies to create their DNA innovation. This aptos solar panels DNA technology enables reduced manufacturing costs while maintaining premium performance standards.
Busbars in Aptos panels are thinner, taking less space from solar cells, while uncut PV cells contribute to increased active panel area. This design provides significant advantages in partially-shaded conditions, allowing continued energy generation from unshaded sections rather than losing entire panel output.
Conversion rates range from 19% to 20.6%—slightly better than market averages, with panels providing excellent power output performance. The aptos solar panel temperature coefficient measures approximately -0.36%/°C, meaning modules lose minimal power as temperatures rise above standard test conditions.
Aptos panels withstand 6,200 Pa wind loads, 5,400 Pa snow loads, and hail balls up to 1 inch in diameter. State-of-the-art facilities maintain ISO 9001 & 14001 certifications, with Renewable Energy Testing Center (RETC) partnership providing third-party quality assurance through 3X IEC Standard testing.
