About product
Axitec AC-550MBT/144US is a model that uses a number of technologies to bring durability and performance to the next level. The Passivated Emitter Rear Contact (PERC) technology ensures excellent power output. This solar cell type employs an additional reflective layer to absorb more sunlight.
The use of half-cut cell technology is an additional perk. The solar cells of AC-550MBT/ 144US are half the size of those found in standard panels. Major advantages include reduced power consumption, extended life and enhanced efficiency in low-light conditions. As a result, the panel achieves an impressive efficiency of 21.29%. 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 1.38" in depth and is jet black with a sleek finish. The panel's functionality and durability are not affected by its aesthetic appeal though. Axitec provides an industry-leading 25-year performance warranty and a 15-year product warranty.
An already high efficiency of 21.29% is further enhanced by PERC technology. By adding a solid PID resistance and special glass lamination on top, the manufacturer ended up with an efficient and very durable model. Under standard test conditions, AC-550MBT/144US outputs 550 W of power.
Even under extreme heat, AC-550MBT 144US maintains high efficiency. You may take advantage of the sunniest hours because it loses just -0.35% of efficiency for every 1.8°F over 77°F.
AC-550MBT/144US undergoes various quality checks during the production process and is subjected to serious quality and reliability testing. Manufacturing facilities are highly automated, removing the possibility of human errors. Axitec is committed to quality, safety, and dependability to ensure you get the finest.
In the first year of service, these panels will lose no more than 0.2% of their power output. The average yearly power drop from the second to the 25th year will be no more than 0.20%. After 25 years, the modules will retain more than 95% of their initial output.
PID, salt, acid and ammonia cannot harm AC-550MBT/144US. Furthermore, it has a mechanical load resistance of up to 5400 Pa in the front and 2400 Pa in the back. A layer of protective glass and 1.38" thick anodized aluminum frame are the primary reasons for its toughness.
The panel has a sleek, all-black style that complements any roof beautifully. Axitec 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.

Solar panels are an increasingly popular option for supplying electricity for various purposes. Recently, these extremely useful devices have become widespread in the USA. Solar panels can be found everywhere: on the roofs of high-rise buildings and private houses, greenhouses, and industrial facilities.
AXITEC solar panels are a perfect compromise between German quality and design and affordable price. In this AXITEC solar review we’ll talk about the company, features of AXITEC panels, price, mounting options and warranties.
The German company AXITEC was established in 2001. For many years, the company has been one of the world's leading manufacturers of solar panels. The business strategy of AXITEC includes a complete technological chain for the manufacturing of solar cells: from development and production to quality control, sales, and service.
Headquartered in New Jersey, USA, as well as having additional storage facilities in California, AXITEC offers customers solar panels and fast service throughout the United States.
AXITEC Solar Panels are high-performance premium European PV modules that offer great power output in various weather conditions and under low irradiance. They achieve the highest efficiency (of up to 19.6%) due to half-cut cell technology and thorough testing of materials.
AXITEC offers four types of solar panels:
From April 1st, 2018, AXITEC has been providing a 15-year warranty for all their solar modules, which is longer than most other solar manufacturers offer.
This has become possible due to the use of quality materials and constant quality control during and after production. Customers have trusted AXITEC since 2001 due to its high standards of quality and performance.
The warranty extension is the result of a very high level of quality of solar modules and low customer complaints. In addition, an intensive selection of individual components brings added value to the customer.
AXITEC also offers a 25-year linear performance guarantee with an annual degradation of 0.5%, with a guaranteed rated power of 97% for the first 12 months.
When mounting AXITEC solar panels, the installation location must be taken into account, and in the case of roof installation, the roofing material.
First, the most convenient and correct place needs to be chosen for the installation of solar panels. If the ground type of installation suits you, then there are two types of ground mounting: standard ground mount and pole mount. Standard ground mount uses a metal frame that is screwed into the ground to hold solar modules. Pole mounting is considered the most reliable type of mounting and can hold multiple panels.
If you plan to use the roof to place the panels, then you should think not only about the method of attachment but also about the roofing material. Most roofing materials are suitable for AXITEC solar panels with the metal roofs being the best choice and slate roofs being not ideal.
AXITEC solar panels prices can be described as affordable and competitive, in spite of the fact that it’s a German company that cares a lot about the quality of their products. We offer highly rated yet reasonably priced AXITEC solar panels that range in price from $190 to $220.
Monocrystalline solar cells are considered the most advanced solar cells. They are made from a single silicon crystal, so they have much higher efficiency compared to polycrystalline cells: more than 22%. Thanks to their efficiency, monocrystalline panels take up less space than any other solar panels. Also, monocrystalline panels are more durable and have a longer lifespan than polycrystalline panels. The single silicon crystal in the monocrystalline panel does not age and has stable characteristics over the entire service life, only elements that surround the silicon deteriorate with time. And finally, monocrystalline solar panels tend to work better in low light and perform better in warm weather compared to polycrystalline panels. A while ago monocrystalline AXITEC solar panel price was much higher than the price of a polycrystalline module, but now the gap has narrowed. That’s why we strongly recommend picking monocrystalline AXITEC modules.
Due to AXITEC’s durability and reliability, their solar panels are made to withstand very harsh environmental conditions like heavy snowfall or strong wind. AXITEC solar panels work in any weather and even under a snow cover, due to its high sensitivity and excellent energy output.
The efficiency of AXITEC solar panels depends on light intensity. The better the illumination, the more energy solar modules will generate. But weather and climate conditions are no less significant factors that affect solar panel productivity.
AXITEC solar panels are designed to operate in temperatures ranging from -40 °F to +185 °F, however, the panels reach their maximum efficiency at lower temperatures.
