The roof committee of twelve solars for punishing the Australian conditions

Australians have a new choice in solar modules on the roof on the roof. One that seems particularly hard for our often Harsh conditions-TW Solars 470-Watt Twmnh-48he470.

How hard is the TWMNH-48HE470?

A monofacial dual glass solar panel with a footprint of 2m2 and the TW solar TWMNH-48HE470 is suitable for installing coastal locations. There is nothing special, but the panel with the cyclone is also rated and tested for 44.9 mm hailstones at 110 km/H1. This is slightly larger than the diameter of a golf ball that is 42.67 mm. The standard -IEC -Hagel -Test comprises 25 mm hailstones at 82.8 km/h.

Further TWMNH-48HE470 specifications

  • Maximum performance: 470W
  • Cell type: TNC (n monocrystalline cells of type N)
  • Module efficiency: 23.5%
  • Temperature coefficient (pmax): -0.28%/° C
  • Maximum system voltage: 1500 V DC
  • Dimensions: 1762 mm x 1134 mm x 30 mm
  • Weight: 22.8 kg
  • Glass (front and back): 2 mm
  • Operating temperature: -40 ° C to + 70 ° C
  • 25-year-old product guarantee (installations on the roof).
  • 30-year-old performance guarantee for roof installed installations (deterioration of the 1st year <1%, <0.4% a year afterwards for a capacity at least 87.4% at the end of the year 30).

The candidate of TW Solar is heavier than some that we saw in this WatTagage area due to the 2 -mm glass -front and back. There are manufacturers who instead choose 1.6 mm. As a result, sacrifice some strength2.

The TWMNH-48HE470 will only be launched this month in Australia by National Wholesale Distributor of Solar Gear Supply Partners, which has the camp in Brisbane, Townsville, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.

“TW Solar is one of the only fully integrated solar manufacturers in the world and gives them unprecedented control over quality, supply and innovation,” said John Degotardi from Supply Partners. “Our partners are looking forward to offering one of the best specified and value -oriented solar modules on the Australian market today.”

As for pricing and like other twelve solar collectors, I assume that the TWMNH-48HE470 should stand in the direction of the budget-friendly end of the spectrum.

According to Supply Partners, the panel at All Energy Australia in Melbourne will present the panel at the end of this month. The event is funded as the largest assembly of renewable energy professionals in the southern hemisphere.

Who is twelve solar (also known as Tongwei solar)?

China’s twelve solar is one of the world’s largest PV manufacturers and started producing solar cells for other companies in 2009. The company then switched to the production of its own panels and developed into a vertically integrated company that controls the entire process. From the refinement of polysilicon to the compilation of the end product.

An Australian office was opened in North Sydney this year, but its panels were installed here a few years earlier.

So far, two reviews of Solar Panel to solar quotes from Australian customers have been generally positive, with the company achieving an average of 4.9 stars. So far, however, we have only a few dozen customer reviews compared to some of the longer -established brands in Australia that have hundreds – and some with thousands – of reviews. The company is currently listed as a solar panel brand approved with solar quotas.

Among other things, the high-performance solar modules suitable for Australian roofs this year are the energy (475 W), AIKO (480 W) and Winaico (475 W). Risen and Aiko tend to fulfill the budget end of the market, whereby Winaico is more in the middle of the street for pricing.

We still have to update the table on this page with some of the recently available products available in Australia. including this from Tongwei.

Footnot

  1. The hailstone resistance is quite impressive, but there is hail and then hail; For example, what was experienced a few years ago in parts in the southeast of Queensland that they would not expect a solar panel with a glass face.
  2. But a thought that the installers have to argue with increasingly large and heavier solar collectors.
