The minimum guaranteed power is the nameplate
so you never get less power than you paid for.
Independently verified power2
Four independent test labs regularly check panel
power so you get the power we promise.
Anti-reflective glass
Delivering 2–3% more electricity compared
to panels with standard glass.
Temperature ratings over 90%3
Maintaining up to 4% higher output than most other
crystalline silicon panels under hot conditions.
high rankingS in field tests4
Long-term Photon and TÜV field tests prove
Evergreen panels produce more electricity (kWh/kW).

Solar Panel Output
Solar panel output is measured in watts.
Try the Solar Calculator.
Calculating Wattage
Wattage is calculated by multiplying the rated
voltage by the rated amperage. The formula for
wattage is VOLTS times AMPS = WATTS. For
example, a 12 volt 60 watt solar panel measuring
20 X 44 inches has a rated voltage of 17.1 and a
rated 3.5 amperage. V x A = W 17.1 volts times
3.5 amps equals 60 watts.
Watt Hours
If an average of 6 hours of peak sun per day is
available in an area, then this solar panel can
produce an average 360 watt hours of power per
day; 60w times 6 hrs = 360 watt-hours.
Peak Sun Hours
The intensity of sunlight varies throughout the day,
therefore the term "peak sun hours" is used to
smooth out the variations. Early morning and
late-in-the-day sunlight produces less power than
the mid-day sun. Cloudy days produce less power
than bright sunny days. Geographical areas are
rated in average peak sun hours per day based on
yearly sun data.
Series or Parallel
Solar panels can be wired in series or in parallel to
increase voltage or amperage.
Series wiring connects the positive terminal of
one panel to the negative terminal of another. The
outer positive and negative terminals will produce
voltage the sum of the two panels, but the
amperage remains the same as one panel. So two
12 volt/3.5 amp panels wired in series produce 24
volts at 3.5 amps. Four of these wired in series
produce 48 volts at 3.5 amps.
Parallel wiring refers to connecting positive
terminals to positive terminals and negative to
negative. The result is that voltage stays the same,
but amperage becomes the sum of the number of
panels. So two 12 volt/3.5 amp panels wired in
parallel would produce 12 volts at 7 amps. Four
panels would produce 12 volts at 14 amps.
Series / Parallel wiring refers to doing both of the
above - increasing volts and amps to achieve the
desired voltage as in 24 or 48 volt systems.
