LONG BEACH, Calif. -Today at Intersolar 2022, Panasonic introduced two new series of EverVolt® solar modules to its portfolio of high-performing residential solar solutions, including the new 410W/400W H Series panels made with half-cut cells and heterojunction technology with gapless connections, and the 370W/360W PK Black Series modules, which are Panasonic''s first panels made with PERC technology.
Panasonic''s new 370W/360W PK Black Series modules, made with 60 half-cut cells and Passivated Emitter and Rear Contact (PERC) technology, have module efficiency of 20.3 percent and 19.7 percent, respectively, and guarantee power output of at least 86 percent in the 25th year after installation. The sleek, all-black compact panels are made with both flexibility and aesthetics in mind, to provide a greater range of solar options for eco-conscious homeowners.
Both new models are covered under Panasonic''s TripleGuard and AllGuard warranties. The TripleGuard warranty covers product, performance, and labor for 25 years when installed by a Panasonic Authorized, Premium or Elite installer and registered through the Panasonic website. The AllGuard warranty provides homeowners with a 25-year labor warranty from Panasonic for Enphase Micro inverters and Unirac or IronRidge racking, in addition to the product warranty, if purchased together from Panasonic.
"More homeowners than ever are interested in going solar, so offering a wide array of wattage, size and price options is essential to staying competitive in the market," said Mukesh Sethi, Director of Solar and Energy Storage at Panasonic Life Solutions Company of America. "Panasonic has more than 20 years'' experience in the solar industry and more than a century of experience in innovation, but we are more energized now than ever about the future of residential solar solutions we bring to the industry."
Panasonic also announced enhancements to its new EverVolt 2.0 residential battery that launched in November 2021. New features include a gateway system that simplifies installation by consolidating all necessary components at a single control and access point, and a new app for homeowners that provides visibility into the entire energy system, and enables convenient management of both solar and storage.
The new EverVolt 2.0, Panasonic''s next-generation solar energy battery storage system, builds on the advanced energy storage technology of the first generation with enhancements including:
EverVolt 2.0 will begin shipping in April, while both module series will be available in the second quarter 2022. For more information on EverVolt solar energy solutions, visit: https://na.panasonic /us/evervolt
So you''ve decided to add solar panels to your home. Great! One of the most important tasks ahead of you is choosing the right solar panel installer. A credible and trusted installer will work with you to design and install a system that is tailored to your home''s energy needs and that meets your budget.
With so many installers — including both local and national companies — to choose from, finding the right one for your job can feel overwhelming. Consider the following factors when you''re comparing installers:
License requirements vary from state to state, so it''s important to verify that a solar panel installer has the required licenses in your state before working with them. Local and state requirements include solar, electrician, and general contractor licenses.
You can see an overview of your state''s licensing requirements at the National Solar Licensing Database, but it''s always a good idea to check directly with your local or state licensing board, too.
Considered the "gold standard" for solar panel installers, The North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) certification program is nationally recognized and well respected. A company with installers that are certified by NABCEP is a bonus, says Dan Glaser, Panasonic Senior Sales Engineer, Solar and Storage.
While NABCEP certification is a benefit, there are installers with experience equivalent to or greater than what NABCEP requires, says Glaser. One of the key questions you should ask is how long they''ve been in business. Dedicated solar panel installers typically have experience ranging from five to 10 years. Glaser suggests requesting a portfolio of work to review.
If any of your neighbors have installed solar panels, you can also ask who they used for installation. That way, you know that the installer is familiar with your neighborhood, and you can hear first-hand accounts of what they''re like to work with.
Customer reviews can provide powerful insights. Glaser encourages exploring social media and sites including Yelp, EnergySage, and Solarreviews . Look at serviceability and how quickly a company responds to problems. Be careful not to rely completely on reviews, however, as people often only leave reviews only when they''ve had a problem, he says.
Many homeowners wonder if they should choose a large national installation company or go with a smaller local provider. There''s no right answer — there are benefits to each. By going with a larger company, you may get better depth of experience and more resources, a wider range of payment options and maintenance services, and more comprehensive warranties. But smaller solar installers may be able to offer bigger savings; better customer experience; and a deeper knowledge of local regulations, market conditions, and climate.
In solar, one size does not fit all. A good solar panel installer will take the time to meet you, analyze your property and energy usage, and provide a quote for a solar panel installation that''s customized to your needs.
Comprehensive warranties are like a safety blanket. They ensure that your solar panel installation and your investment are protected. Don''t settle for anything less than three types of warranties covering the product and equipment, performance/power output, and labor.
While the majority of manufacturers'' product warranties are good for 25 years, not all companies offer the same long-term performance guarantees. That can make the difference between a great investment and a not-so-great one. Premium solar panels should offer a minimum power output performance of 90% in year 25.
Look at a provider''s maintenance packages, advises Glaser. Ideally, your solar system should be inspected and cleaned at least once a year to keep your panels operating at maximum efficiency. Some installers include maintenance and others provide it as an add-on.
Not all solar panels are created equal, which means they don''t all cost the same. It''s wise to get opinions from several providers. But be wary of the cheapest price. "If it looks too good to be true, it generally is," Glaser says. "Some newer installers don''t understand the length of time a system is warrantied for and what it takes to cover that installation over 25 years or more."
