Silfab 490W Solar Panel 156 Cell SIL-490-HN

Silfab SIL-490 HN is a PV module created for large and small commercial applications. Silfab engineers made these panels durable and efficient, while minimizing the amount of useful space required for their operation. One of the keys to making these panels ideal for commercial use is the half-cut cell technology. The SIL-490 HN 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.

The efficiency of this model reaches 20.9% – well above the market’s average. The robust silver frame can easily handle even the strongest winds and heaviest snowfalls. The rear of the panel is ready for loads up to 2400 Pa and the front for up to 5400 Pa. The warranties provided by Silfab are also among the best in the industry. The 12-year product warranty is extendable to 25  years, and the linear performance warranty lasts three decades.
