About product

Panasonic 340W Solar Panel 96 cell VBHN340SA17

The 96-cell HIT® N340 solar panel provides a powerful combination of increased module efficiency, energy savings and durable long-term performance. Featuring a 20.3 module efficiency and 340 watts per panel, N340 delivers an advanced renewable energy source with zero emissions for any home. A temperature coefficient rating of -0.258%/°C, one of the lowest in the world, helps generate greater electricity output on the hottest days.

  • Increased module efficiency of 20.3% enables higher power output and greater energy yields
  • A low temperature coefficient of -0.258%/°C produces higher output at high temperatures
  • Heterojunction technology with ultra-thin amorphous silicon layers reduces electron loss
  • High-strength 40mm frame design with unique drain system reduces water stains from panel surface
  • Complete 25-year warranty on linear power output, parts and product workmanship

High Efficiency 20.3%

Higher power output and greater energy yields. Increased energy generation means fewer panels. HIT technology delivers maximum energy production for limited roof space.

High Efficiency at High Temperatures

As temperature increases, HIT continues to perform at high levels due to the industry-leading temperature coefficient of -0.258% /°C. No other module even comes close to these temperature characteristics. That means more energy throughout the day.

Quality and Reliability

Panasonic's vertical integration, over 20 years of experience manufacturing HIT® and 20 internal tests beyond those mandated by current standards provide extreme quality assurance.

Low Degradation

HIT "N-type" cells result in extremely Low Light Induced Degradation (LID) and zero Potential Induced Degradation (PID) which supports reliability and longevity. This technology reduces annual degradation to 0.26% compare to 0.70% in conventional panels, guaranteeing more power for the long haul.

Enhanced Frame Design

The 96-cell HIT® N340 solar panel is equipped with a new 40mm frame, which increases durability and strength, being able to handle loads of up to 5400Pa. Also, the water drainage system gives rainwater and snowmelt a place to go, reducing water stains and soiling. Less dirt on the module means more sunlight getting through to generate power.

25 Year Product and Performance Warranty

Industry-leading 25-year product workmanship and performance warranty is backed by a century-old company - Panasonic. Power output is guaranteed to 90.76% after 25 years, far greater than other companies.

I have had my system for about a year and two months, and have had no issues with it yet.

The system generates power as expected , which we are very happy about. We are also happy that now our electricity comes without noise, pollution or maintenance.

The solar panels have been on for less than one year at this point. From the end of May to March I had produced all the power I needed for everything plus heat for my house. This next year with one full year of electric credits banked at my electric company I am sure that I will be saving tons on electricity.

You'll also need a charge controller, an inverter. Batteries and optimisers are optional.
Panasonic 340W Solar Panel VBHN340SA17 -- does this panel require an inverter or is it built in?

FAQ

How much is shipping and how long is delivery?
Our standard shipping charge is $250 for up to 11 panels and it is increased by $25 for every 4 additional panels. In the event, the product is only available on East or West coast custom quote will be sent to you before the order is processed. Normally, we are able to deliver solar panels within 7 business days.
What is the difference between low price panels and top price panels?
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%.
Do you offer discounts?
We do offer discounts for orders of over 50 units. Please contact us for details.
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. Please contact a certified electrician if you do not possess appropriate electrical skills.
Can I connect and charge my solar panel battery directly with the solar panel?
We do not recommend using the solar panel without the charge controller. Using solar panels without the charge controller might damage the batteries.
Can I drill holes into the aluminum frame for mounting?
We do not recommend drilling any new holes to the aluminum frame of the panel as it could damage the internal circuit and solar cells. (Also, any modification to the panel will void the warranty). We recommend only using the pre-drilled holes for mounting.
Do solar panels require maintenance? Can I wash my solar panel?
Solar panels generally require very little maintenance. We recommend cleaning the solar panel with water, glass cleaner (Windex) and microfiber cloth.
Will my panel produce power in an overcast condition?
While solar panels require sunlight to generate solar energy, they will still work in cloudy weather. Even on a cloudy day, solar panels will produce energy just not as much.
Will my panels produce power if covered with snow?
Solar panels cannot produce electricity if covered with snow.
What is the best direction for a solar panel to face?
The best direction for a solar panel to face is the South
