(DISCONTINUED) SolarWorld Sunmodule Plus SW 280 Mono Black Solar Panel - 280 Watt

SolarWorld Sunmodule Mono Black Solar Module Review

Made In America

SolarWorld manufactures and produces every cell and assembles every Sunmodule Plus Mono solar panel in their state-of-the-art facility in Hillsboro, Oregon. They employ a sophisticated, fully automated manufacturing process supported by the most technologically advanced equipment available – from crystallization to moduling.

Made in the USA
SolarWorld carries out each step of the module manufacturing process in their Hillsboro, Oregon. They adhere to the strict quality management, environmental and occupational health and safety standards ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS 18001. By using statistical process controls in every step in the manufacturing process, SolarWorld is able to maintain the highest level of quality.

PID-Free
Potential induced degradation (PID) is a phenomenon where the power output of a solar module is reduced when exposed to high negative voltage bias between the cells and ground. PID can potentially affect the performance of individual modules as well as the overall power output and efficiency of an entire solar power generating system. SolarWorld Sunmodules have been certified as PID free by 3rd party laboratories.

Independently Certified
The TÜV Rheinland “Power Controlled” inspection mark guarantees that an independent test provider certifies that the power ratings specified for our solar panels are maintained and regularly monitored. The performance of our solar panels exhibits a mere 2 percent measuring tolerance. No other manufacturer can claim such precise performance.

Ready for Winter
With a maximum load capacity of up to 8500 Pa (178 psf), SolarWorld Sunmodules are designed to withstand heavy accumulations of snow and ice.

Ready for the Coast
SolarWorld Sunmodules have passed the most severe IEC 61701 salt spray test conditions proving their resistance to salty air which makes them ideally suited for installation in coastal areas.

Plus-Sorting Power Tolerance
Plus‑Sorting guarantees highest system efficiency. SolarWorld only delivers modules that have greater than or equal to the nameplate rated power. The positive power tolerance guarantees utmost system efficiency. Only modules achieving or exceeding the designated nominal power in performance tests are dispatched. The power tolerance ranges between -0 Wp and +5 Wp.

Optimized Glass Surface Structure
The proprietary surface coatings and granular texture of the Sunmodule’s front textured glass create two effects: the reduction of the light reflected from the outside (air-glass interface) and the internal trapping of the light reflected from the solar cells in the module (light-trapping). These two effects combine to make an extremely efficient and high performance PV module.

Certified for 1000 Volt DC Solar Panel Arrays
The certification to international standards provides additional assurance that SolarWorld panels are suitable for use in systems with greater than 600 Vdc string voltage.

3rd-Party PAN Files
In addition to reliability testing, we partner with third party test laboratories during the preparation of our PAN file and participate in their Outdoor Performance Index studies. By examining these tools and data, our customers can better mitigate their risk and increase their confidence that SolarWorld will deliver maximum returns on their solar investment for years to come.
