About product
Among the newest offerings of Axitec, AC-550MBT/144V is part of the AXIbipremium XXL HC MT series. These panels use state-of-the-art technology to achieve high efficiency and dependability. 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.
Another advantage is the half-cut cell technology. AC-550MBT/144V 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. Given its size and weight, AC-550MBT/144V efficiency of 21.09% 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. Axitec offers 15 years of manufacturer’s warranty and guarantees 85% of original performance after 25 years of operation.
This panel's manufacturer offers power output of 550 W at 21.09 percent efficiency. High energy production levels are attained by utilizing the most recent developments in the solar sector. A more productive panel produces more per square foot and pays for itself more quickly.
This module makes the heat less dangerous since it has one of the lowest temperature coefficients in the market, losing just -0.35% of efficiency for every 1.8°F over 77°F.
Multiple tests are part of the Axitec tight production requirements, which offer the highest level of quality assurance. Because of the facilities' high degree of automation, the business is able to uphold strict standards and minimize the number of warranty claims to an absolute minimum.
The amount of power output loss experienced by these panels during the first year of operation will not exceed 3%. The average yearly power drop from the second to the 25th year will not surpass 0.5%. After 25 years, the module will still produce more than 85% of its initial output.
AC-550MBT/144V is resistant to PID, salt, acid and ammonia. It can also withstand up to 5400 Pa mechanical load on the front and 2400 Pa on the back. Such robustness is mainly due to the 1.38" thick anodized aluminum alloy frame and a layer of protective glass.

Close-wattage solar panels
AXITEC Energy stands as a proven European solar manufacturer, founded in 2001 with global headquarters in Böblingen, Germany. This smaller German solar panel brand produces highly efficient and powerful panels with pricing that falls within the mid-range of the industry, leaning slightly towards the cheaper side of the market. With approximately 7 gigawatts of the company's panels installed worldwide and production capacity of 2 GW annually, AXITEC has established itself as a reliable choice for both residential and commercial solar installations.
AXITEC maintains an engineering and design team based in Germany, with production taking place across Asia and Europe. The company has maintained an active presence in the U.S. since 2013, with their subsidiary Axitec Solar USA operating from New Jersey with warehouses in California.
Performance & Efficiency
AXITEC panels achieve above-average efficiency rates ranging from 22% to 23%, placing them among the higher-end manufacturers. Their panels shine with up to 22% efficiency, standing tall among industry leaders. Even under summer heat, AXITEC panels deliver steady performance thanks to their competitive temperature coefficient ranging from -0.44 to -0.26%/°C.
Warranty & Reliability
AXITEC offers an excellent warranty extending to 30 years for both product and performance, surpassing the industry standard. These German-engineered panels are known for their low degradation rate, losing only about 0.4% of their power output per year. The 30-year linear performance warranty stipulates a minimum 87.4% of nameplate capacity at the end of year 30.
Product Range & Applications
AXITEC offers a comprehensive product line, including options for residential and commercial applications, as well as bifacial, weather-resistant, and all-black modules. One standout feature is their bifacial design - unlike traditional panels that only capture sunlight from the front, bifacial panels harness energy from both sides, delivering up to 25% more output in diffused light conditions.
Cost-Effectiveness
Solar energy systems using AXITEC solar panels generally cost between $2.00-$2.60 per watt before incentives, placing them well below the average solar panel cost of roughly $3.00 per watt in the United States. Homeowners can expect costs between $2.17 to $2.83 per watt, translating to $13,020 to $16,980 for a 6 kW system, which could drop to $9,114 to $11,886 with tax credits.
"From what I understand and read, AXITEC AXI world premium seems to be pretty efficient at 20.31%, German engineering and as per Solar Lab recommendation better than Longi Panels. So far pairing it with my Fronius Primo 4.0, it is working 101.5%@4060W compared to my Fronius Symo 5.0 at 100.8% @5040W. I am quite pleased with it."
