Among the newest offerings of Silfab, SIL-430-QD is part of the Prime NTC series. These panels use state-of-the-art technology to achieve high efficiency and dependability. The Passivated Emitter Rear Contact (PERC) technology ensures excellent power output. This solar cell type employs an additional reflective layer to absorb more sunlight.
Another advantage is the half-cut cell technology. SIL-430-QD 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. As a result, the panel achieves an impressive efficiency of 22.1%. The innovations made the appearance of the panel as impressive as the specs. A mere 1.37" thick, this model is completely black with a smooth surface. This beauty doesn’t compromise the quality or reliability of the panel. Silfab provides 25 years of product warranty and guarantees that after 30 years, performance will be at 89.3% or more.

- 25-year product and 30-year performance warranties
Higher efficiency of up to 22.1%
SIL-430-QD guarantees the highest power output. PERC technology and potent antireflective coating result in 22.1% module efficiency. This is significantly higher than average, which will result in substantial extra savings over the years of operation.
Excellent performance in adverse weather
Low temperature coefficient means greater energy production at high operating temperatures. SIL-430-QD loses just -0.24% of efficiency for every 1.8°F above 77°F.
High quality standards
Multiple tests are part of the Silfab 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.
Low degradation for increased longevity
In the first year of service, these panels will lose no more than 2% of their power output. The average yearly power drop from the second to the 30th year will be no more than 0.30%. After 30 years, the modules will retain more than 89.3% of their initial output.
A panel that can handle hail, wind and snow
The 1.37" frame made from anodized aluminum and a layer of protective tempered glass make this module resistant to the foulest of weather. The front side of the modules can resist a 5400 Pa load, and the back side 4000 Pa.
Outstanding all-black design
The panel features all-black design which looks great on any roof. The manufacturer ensures excellent cell color by special treatment and selection processes. Silfab engineers use thinner wires to connect the cells together, and at a distance the surface of the modules appears smooth and uninterrupted.
