With top tier solar panels, you pay for the brand name, proprietary new technology, higher energy output, and better warranty support.
What are the dimensions of the panel?
Please refer to the product datasheet on the product page. We have a datasheet for every product we sell.
How long is the warranty on the panel?
In general, manufacturers provide a 25 year-long performance warranty and a 10 year-long equipment guarantee. Some manufacturers offer 12-15 years of warranty. More information is available in our warranty support section.
Which panels do you recommend for RV, marine?
We recommend Panasonic and Mission Solar panels for smaller systems as their high energy output and excellent craftsmanship guarantee years of service.
Can this panel be used with a 12v system?
Any of our panels can be used for a 12v system with a properly selected inverter and charge controller.
Can I pick up this panel from your fulfillment center to save on shipping?
Yes, we can set up a pick up at a local distributor. Please call to discuss options and stock availability.
How do I connect these panels?
To achieve the best system efficiency, panels should be connected in series to create higher voltage.
How many panels do I need?
This number is determined by your average energy needs. Depending on the type of panels and energy consumption, you might need anywhere from 12 to 45 solar panels. Remember, the more panels you install the more energy you will get.Please use our solar calculator to estimate your energy consumption and plan on building a solar system that will exceed your energy needs by 25%.
How do I build a solar system?
Please use our solar calculator to estimate what equipment you need. Choose your panels, microinverters, inverters, and solar batteries if necessary.Please note that we do not offer solar system design or installation.
How do solar panels compare?
Solar panels differ by power output, voltage, connection type, size, efficiency, and weight. Some solar panels might be sold together with microinverters as a set.
Can I build a solar system by myself as a Do It Yourself project?
Yes, it is possible if you understand what solar equipment you need and how to connect it together. However, please be mindful that handling your own electrical work without having proper experience might cause life-threatening injuries.

About product

HNM7-SHDB144-550 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.

To further boost the performance, Hounen Solar employs half-cut cell technology. Each of the panel’s 144 cells is only half the size of a traditional solar cell. This grants HNM7-SHDB144-550 lower resistive losses and better shade tolerance. The efficiency of this model reaches 21.29% — well above the market’s average. 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. Hounen Solar provides 12 years of product warranty and guarantees that after 25 years, performance will be at 84.8% or more.

  • 550 W power output
  • 144 half-cut PERC cells
  • 21.29% efficiency
  • 1500 V DC maximum system voltage
  • MC4（PV-KST4/6II-UR,PV-KBT4/6II-UR) connectors
  • 12-year product and 25-year performance warranties

High efficiency of 21.29%

Hounen Solar HNM7-SHDB144-550 panels take full advantage of the company’s technologies that have won Hounen Solar multiple awards. This PERC option offers higher power output per square foot of PV modules. This means quicker installation times and fewer clamps and racks. All of which reduces your overall costs, shortening the payback time.

Better performance at high temperatures

Excellent temperature coefficient means more energy as temperature rises. Every 1.8°F hike above 77°F will decrease your panel’s efficiency by only -0.35%.

High quality standards

Hounen Solar strict manufacturing standards include multiple tests to provide extreme quality assurance. The facilities are highly automated, allowing the company to maintain high standards and keep the level of warranty claims very low.

Low degradation for increased lifespan

The amount of power output loss experienced by these panels during the first year of operation will not exceed 2%. The average yearly power drop from the second to the 25th year will not surpass 0.55%. After 25 years, the module will still produce more than 84.8% of its initial output.

Improved frame design

HNM7-SHDB144-550 design makes it suitable for both residential and business rooftops. The use of a strong 1.38" 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 withstand 2400 Pa, guaranteeing that your system will resist even the fiercest winds.
