480 watt solar panels
While the benefits of solar power are obvious, designing a system to fully take advantage of those benefits is quite challenging. A panel's power rating is an important factor to consider. Higher values indicate greater energy production from a given module. A 480 watt solar panel is near the top of the food chain. Let's take a better look at these powerful solar panels.
The pros of 480 watt solar panels
- Less panels are required to create a given system, which saves you time, money, and space
- Even within the same series, more powerful panels have a slight efficiency advantage
- When compared to less powerful models, 480 W solar panels cost less per watt due to economies of scale
- Fewer panels mean fewer connections, which means a less complicated system with a lower failure rate
The average price of 480 watt panels
It’s true that the 480 watt solar panel price is a bit higher compared to typical residential modules. This is to be expected, given the significantly greater power outputs of these devices. A price-per-watt metric is necessary for a fair comparison of PV modules with varying power outputs. Each 480 watt solar panel we sell has a dedicated product page with all the details to facilitate your purchasing decision.
For a 480 watt solar panel, for example, you can expect to pay as little as $0.5 per watt from a Chinese manufacturer. On the other hand, European and Japanese businesses typically charge more than $1 per watt. PV modules made in the United States and South Korea may represent the sweet spot between quality and cost.
Sizes of 480 Watt panels
Solar panels with a 480 watt output typically use 156 half-cut solar cells, which have the same area as 78 full-sized cells. The following characteristics are typical of a 480 watt solar panel regardless of the exact number of cells:
- 89″ length
- 41″ width
- 1.37″ depth
- 57 lbs weight
