Silfab 500W Solar Panel 132 Cell SIL-500-HM Commercial 696 panels per Container

SIL-500-HM is part of the Silflab Commercial Series — optimized for commercial projects where maximum power density and superior performance is essential. These panels employ cutting-edge technologies to achieve superior efficiency and reliability. 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-500 HM 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. Given its size and weight, SIL-500 HM efficiency of 21.0% is quite impressive. Silfab provides 25 years of product warranty and guarantees that after 30 years, performance will be at 82.6% or more.

• 132 half-cut PERC cells
• 500 W nameplate capacity
• 21.0% efficiency
• 1500 V DC maximum system voltage
• EVO2 from Staubli connectors
• 25 years of product and 30 years of performance warranty

More power and efficiency

An already high efficiency of 21.0% is further enhanced by PERC technology. By adding a solid PID resistance and special glass lamination on top, the manufacturer ended up with an efficient and very durable model. Under standard test conditions, SIL-500-HM outputs 500W of power.

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 -0.36%.

High quality standards

Silfab's strict manufacturing standards include multiple tests to provide extreme quality assurance. The facilities are highly automated, allowing the company to maintain high standards and keep the level of warranty claims very low.

Low degradation for increased lifespan

The amount of power output loss experienced by these panels during the first year of operation will not exceed 2.9%. The average yearly power drop from the second to the 30th year will not surpass 0.50%. After 30 years, the module will still produce more than 82.6% of its initial output.

A panel that can handle hail, wind and snow

The 1.37" frame built of anodized aluminum and a layer of protective tempered glass make this module weather-resistant. The front side of the modules can withstand a 5400 Pa load, whereas the back side can withstand a 2400 Pa load.
