Got the package, thanks! The installation started, everything goes as it should so far. My installer (a really nice guy) approved my choice and said that Silfab panels always pay for themselves and not just once here in California, but two or three times.

The build quality is really good. really makes you think about how much American-made solar panels are better than Chinese ones. asia panels break all the time but these ones don't. they make them in washington if i'm correct on this.
I've had my panels installed for a few months now, and they're exceeding my expectations. The quality is evident, and the energy production is impressive. Great investment!

Choosing the right solar panels was a daunting task for me. i was lost in all the technical details and didn't know where to start. your knowledgeable staff helped me understand the important factors to consider and guided me through the selection process. with their help, I made an informed decision, and the panels are working great. i'm very happy with the support I received.
We bought 100 of those for a project in Texas. Even though it was a big order, A1 team handled the order very professionally. Thanks!
I was impressed by A1's knowledgeable and friendly staff. They helped me choose the perfect solar panel system for my home. Installation was smooth, and the panels have been generating more electricity than expected. Highly recommend!

I ordered from another shop before and it was a complete mess. they didn't handle my order properly and i felt like they didn't care about their customers. luckily, i found your site. your delivery was prompt, the panels were exactly as described, and your team was very supportive. thank you for making this such a wonderful experience. i'll definitely be a repeat customer!

This was a VERY easy purchase! The panels were picked up at the Seattle (Kent) WA location and it literally took less than ten minutes from arrival to departure with panels safely loaded by the staff. They were a rooftop installation on my friend's RV and have worked flawlessly.
hi A1 SolarStore, just wanted to thank you again for fulfilling the order. it was hard for us to find these panels offered by someone who we could trust. You didn't let us down and we're very grateful for that. Burtons
I had no idea which solar panels would be best for my home and felt completely overwhelmed. thankfully, your team stepped in and provided expert recommendations. they helped me weigh the pros and cons of each option and guided me to these in the end.
Great Warranty. really gives me peace of mind.
High price but best suitable for my solar system
We (me and my wife) purchased these panels five months ago for our flower shop in Phoenix. Our electric bills diminished by, i’d say, 80%. Even though I had my doubts in the beginning, now I really know that it was a good decision to go solar. Thank you
grabbed my order at the warehouse. everything is in order. going to store them in the garage until the installation
Chose Silfab for their reliability and efficiency. A1 SolarStore's managers were very professional.

A1Solar team went above and beyond to help me choose the right solar system for my home and they made the entire process stress-free. I'm very satisfied with my purchase
High price but best suitable for my solar system
I purchased these panels mainly because the warranty caught my eye. Never saw a 30 year performance warranty before and decided that these guys probably think highly of their product. Hope to live long enough to see these panels age.

Snap! That was so seamless a process. Normally solar supply stores want to sell pallet loads of panels. Just wanted one over my boat cockpit. Still treated me like it was a big order. Tatiana was awesome. Thanks so much!

Delivery was on time, met expectations.
I looked into it, and Silfab is really one of the best solar panel brands in the world. Excellent for my purposes, competitively priced, and expanding when other businesses are contracting. Btw, all black panels look awesome!

The experience of the purchase of the 2 Silfab 490W Solar Panels was a very positive experience. We purchased online of course, then the great communications from A1 Solar started to streamline the product pickup procedure. At the warehouse facility, we were guided to the pickup area and assisted in loaded the panels securely into the back of our truck. We then tested the panels for a week connected to our Bluetti AC200Max with 2 B300 solar backup system. I highly recommend the A1 SolarStore.
One of the reasons I like A1 so much is that they sell so many American-made products. This superb Silfab panel is no exception. I would even go as far as saying that this model is the most technologically advanced of all made on the US territory
Ordered a pallet of 410W Elite panels. Manager, Ivan, deserves applause. Aesthetic and efficient, just wish for clearer installment incstructions
Hi, I'm John, a tech enthusiast and homeowner. We recently bought these Silfab 400W panels, and I have to say I'm pretty impressed. As someone who's into cutting-edge technology, I was drawn to the high efficiency and advanced PERC technology, which I can tell the panels are delivering on the promises even on partly cloudy days. The panel's sleek black design was also a plus, and it blended in nicely with the aesthetics of our home. Highly recommended!
We recently purchased these panels for our home and couldn't be happier with the performance. As someone who cares deeply about the environment, I think going solar was a step long overdue. Installation was a breeze and now the panels are generating even more energy than we expected. Overall, I would highly recommend Silfab to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient solar panel for their home.

A panel like you've never seen before - in a good way. Obsidian-black surface, interesting cell layout, super thin. A piece of art

The panels have performed admirably and effectively. An attractive option for a large system. The cells are not checkerboard blue, but black, it's a pro for me.
My solar panels have been up and running for 8 days as of this review. Someone I trust strongly suggested them, so I went with it. The installation process and obtaining the necessary municipal permissions was the part I was most afraid of. But my installer did all the work and it was a breeze.

The actual power output is comparable to what was stated. There hasn't passed enough time to say much else about the system. As for A1, I can honestly say that I have seldom had such a positive experience dealing with a firm in any industry. Authentic experts!
I support Silfab Solar because it is a local business that produces precisely crafted and highly effective solar panels of the finest quality. And I like A1 store because they treat their customers well and work fast
Because the Silfab panels come with a 25/30 year warranty, we decided to opt for them. The greatest value we found on the market
Outstanding performance across various dimensions. Could not be happier that they are made in North America! I want more Silfab panels in this store
This will be a great choice for anyone who understands the importance of customer support. Silfab has a numerous team in North America and they have helped me a number of times.
good price and looks awesome!
The service and delivery were great, thank you. The panel I found to be quite average, to be honest. The 30-year performance warranty is good though.
grabbed my order at the warehouse. everything is in order. going to store them in the garage until the installation
Silfab is one of the very few brands that designs and manufactures solar panels in North America. That’s what made me consider it in the first place. This 360w model is very light and compact for its power output and I’m glad I made this choice
Panels received and installed! it’s funny, it’s almost like i don’t need commercial electricity at all anymore. Tnx to a1solarstore for the help, their calculation actually helped a lot in sizing the system.

Honestly, i just bought these panels for their warranty. 30 years is no joke. so far they don’t dissapoint, some quality panels right here.

Great solar panels and made in the USA. Very durable and efficient. I highly recommend them.
Very efficient and aesthetically pleasing.
I like that the panels are all black, it was an important consideration for me. They are also American made and come with a great warranty.
These are very light-weight so it was easy to install and they do not add a lot of weight to the roof. They look good too. Come with a fully loaded 25 years warranty. So far, working great!
Very nice fit and finish. They are black with a black frame. They simply disappear into the roof. Also, very efficient.
These panels were very cost-effective compared to other options. They also come with a 25-year warranty that nobody can't beat. I think the quality and performance to date are excellent. We've had our system up and running just under a month and everything is functioning perfectly, as expected.

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?

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.

About product
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.
- 430 W power output
- 108 half-cut PERC cells
- 22.1% efficiency
- 1000 V DC maximum system voltage
- MC4 connectors
- 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.
