Key Features & Benefits:
- 520W Power Output: High wattage for maximum energy production.
- Bifacial Technology: Absorbs light from both front and rear for increased power generation.
- 132 Half-Cut Cells: Improved performance in shading and reduced hot spots.
- Silver Frame & Transparent Backsheet: Enhanced aesthetics and light capture.
- High Efficiency: Optimized energy conversion for maximum power output.
Best Applications:
- Ground-mounted utility-scale solar farms

Installation Information:
Professional installation is highly recommended. Consult local regulations and follow Silfab's installation guidelines for proper mounting, wiring, and safety procedures. Bifacial modules require specific mounting considerations to maximize rear-side light capture.
Special Technology:
This module utilizes half-cut cell technology combined with a bifacial design. Half-cut cells reduce internal resistance and improve performance in shaded conditions. The bifacial design allows light to be absorbed on both the front and rear of the module, significantly increasing total energy generation, especially when mounted over reflective surfaces. The transparent backsheet also enhances light capture.

- Proven Track Record: Companies must demonstrate consistent product quality and financial stability over several years.
- Vertical Integration: Tier 1 manufacturers control the production process from raw materials to finished panels, ensuring higher quality standards.
- Investment in Research and Development: They invest heavily in R&D to continually improve panel efficiency and durability.
- Bankability: Panels from Tier 1 manufacturers are highly trusted by financial institutions, making them a preferred choice for large-scale commercial and utility projects.
Choosing a Tier 1 panel like Silfab ensures you’re getting a reliable, high-quality product backed by a reputable company with a proven history.
This Product is American Manufactured
This product was assembled in the USA or has American manufactured components. By centering significant parts of their manufacturing in the United States, they not only contribute to the creation of jobs and economic growth on American soil but also create an opportunity for you to access monetary incentives through various government programs, like the Domestic Added Content Bonus.
Domestic Added Content Bonus Eligible
The Domestic Added Content Bonus is a financial incentive designed to encourage the use of products that are primarily manufactured within the United States. This bonus is offered to promote local economic activity and support domestic manufacturing industries.
By including a higher percentage of locally sourced or produced materials in your project, such as solar panels, inverters, and certain steel racking, you can reduce the upfront cost of your solar PV system.
By utilizing products that meet the eligibility criteria, homeowners and businesses can typically save up to 10% on their initial investment. This financial incentive is calculated based on the value of components that are sourced or manufactured within the United States. Therefore, the more American-made content used in your solar project, the greater the potential savings.
