What happens if one panel gets shaded?
A1 SolarStore
If a panel is shaded, its power output decreases, but modern systems with microinverters or optimizers help reduce the impact.

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?

About product

Among the newest offerings of Philadelphia Solar, M144(HCBF) is part of the 540W Wholesale 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.

The use of half-cut cell technology is an additional perk. The solar cells of M144(HCBF) 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. At 21.3% efficiency, M144(HCBF) offers surprising performance for its weight and size. 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. Philadelphia Solar paid as much attention to durability as they did to performance. M144(HCBF) is guaranteed to retain at least 87.5% of output after 25 years. Product warranty for this panel lasts 12 years.

  • 144 half-cut PERC cells
  • 540 W nameplate capacity

High productivity thanks to the most recent developments

This Philadelphia Solar panel produces 540 W of power at 21.3 percent efficiency. High levels of energy output are reached by utilizing the most recent innovations in the solar sector. A more efficient panel produces more per square foot and pays for itself sooner.

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%.

Quality and reliability

M144(HCBF) 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. Philadelphia Solar is committed to quality, safety, and dependability to ensure you get the finest.

Low degradation for increased lifespan

The amount of power output loss experienced by these panels during the first year of operation will not exceed 0.5%. The average yearly power drop from the second to the 25th year will not surpass 0.50%. After 25 years, the module will still produce more than 87.5% of its initial output.

Certified for the most extreme environmental conditions

PID, salt, acid and ammonia cannot harm M144(HCBF). 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.

Outstanding all-black design

The panel has a sleek, all-black style that complements any roof beautifully. Philadelphia Solar 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.
