The Most powerful and Efficient.

Onyx panels are designed with two important points in mind: High efficiency and optimal voltage. As shown in the following chart, Onyx has higher power rating and efficiency than any of its competing panels.  To reach this goal, Onyx design team had to make several important decisions. Of these, the key decision was to use 156mm monocrystalline cells on larger output panels (250W and above) instead of 125mm. Naturally, 156mm monocrystallne cells are much more expensive than 125mm due to its structural complexity and tedious developmental procedures. However, by using the larger 156mm cells, less number of cells is used. Thus, Voc and Vmp of Onyx are much lower than panels that use more number of cells. Lower Voc and Vmp is the secret that allows Onyx panels to be compatible with so many inverters while achieving its trademark high voltage characteristics. Despite high manufacturing costs, Onyx team could not overlook offering these unbeatable benefits to our customers.

Module efficiency is the most common topic of discussion when it comes to measurement of quality of panels. This is false. The only way to use efficiency as a measure of quality is to regard the panel’s surface area as well. Anyone can make high efficient panels if size wasn’t a problem. Thus, the true proper measure of quality is how much power a module can produce per square foot, and this depends purely on the quality of wafers and cells. Because Onyx is built with unprecedented wafers and cells, in addition to the high power rating advantages, Onyx panel is relatively smaller in size than its competing solar modules. As shown on the following graph, Onyx produces 13.55Watt/ ft² making it the most efficient solar panel in its class.

Obviously, the high efficiency of Onyx can help end user produce more power with limited surface available.
