Can anyone beat the warranty of SmartSun Energy modules?

The length of the warranty, both product and linear efficiency loss, has a key impact on the profitability of purchasing photovoltaic modules. In this respect, the SmartSun Energy brand can boast of unparalleled conditions.

Warranty conditions are a kind of confirmation of the quality of photovoltaic modules. This issue is important not only for individual customers, but also for wholesale customers who want to convince their contractors with the best offer of components from the PV market.

Up to 35 years of warranty for photovoltaic modules – is it the most on the market?

The photovoltaic manufacturer, the SmartSun Energy brand, offers unparalleled warranty conditions, taking into account not only the Polish but also the global offer of PV modules. The standard is a double, 35-year warranty. Double, meaning:

- 35-year warranty against product defects, which confirms the use of high-quality materials and the implementation of strict production standards.
- 35-year warranty against linear efficiency loss, which is an image of the technological advantages of the cells used. In the case of HJT & TOPCon modules from SmartSun Energy, this is a 1% loss in the first year and 0.3% per year for the next 34 years.

It is also worth noting that the SmartSun Energy guarantee is secured by an insurance policy from the American giant, the Chubb Group.

How is it possible that the warranty on SmartSun Energy modules is so long?

The warranty period is closely related to the quality of the photovoltaic modules, so it is worth asking what processes resulted in the possibility of offering contractors such favorable warranty conditions.

- The most resistant cells - SmartSun Energy focuses primarily on innovation. HJT and TOPCon cells guarantee very high resistance to PID/LID phenomena and the resulting low degradation throughout the warranty period.

- Reinforced frame - the manufacturer decided to choose a reinforced 6061 aluminum alloy, allowing for pressure resistance exceeding even 10,000 Pa.

- Tier 1 production line - all modules are manufactured on production lines in Tier 1 standardization, according to Bloomberg criteria.

- Full certification - SmartSun Energy can boast test results and certification from such entities as: TÜV SÜD, TÜV Rheinland and TÜV Nord.

TOP offer at a great price: HJT and TOPCon modules – up to 730 Wp!

In order to be able to offer customers a record-breaking long warranty, the product offer must be based on durable and innovative solutions in the field of photovoltaic cells. In this respect, SmartSun Energy is mainly based on the technologies: TOPCon and HJT in the Zero Busbar variant.

It is especially worth taking a closer look at the HJTech modules made in the Zero Busbar (0BB) technology. Thanks to the unique cell design and the use of a combination of different types of silicon, HJT modules from SmartSun Energy can boast a power of up to 730 Wp with an efficiency of up to 23.50%. At the same time, HJT panels guarantee a very low temperature coefficient (-0.24 % / ° C) and full resistance to PID and LID phenomena.

The SmartSun Energy brand's offer is complemented by popular photovoltaic modules based on TOPCon N-Type cells, which guarantee an unmatched price-to-quality ratio. In this case, the products in the manufacturer's model range offer a power of up to 715 Wp while maintaining very low degradation and temperature coefficient.

Full certification: TÜV SÜD, TÜV Rheinland and TÜV Nord

The reliability of the SmartSun Energy module guarantee is confirmed by the largest, independent certification centers in the world, led by: TÜV SÜD, TÜV Rheinland and TÜV Nord. The first of them provided the manufacturer with confirmation of the modules' resistance, including to salt mist, ammonia corrosion and the PID phenomenon, which was documented with an appropriate certificate.

The use of a new frame based on a 6061 aluminum alloy by the SmartSun Energy brand also opened the way to further testing the limits of the company's products. TÜV Rheinland and TÜV Nord confirmed that SmartSun Energy modules are able to withstand maximum pressure, exceeding the barrier of 10,000 Pa, which was summarized by issuing a certificate containing details of the tests.
