Description
SW 285 Mono is a versatile 60-cell PV module designed for both residential and commercial installations.This is a fully-automated production and rigorous in-house testing result in panels that combine durability with dependable energy output. Anti-reflective (ARC) glass boosts light capture, while SolarWorld’s “Plus-Sorting” program ensures every shipped module meets or exceeds its nameplate 285 W power. A slim 1.3" (33 mm) clear-anodized aluminum frame complements nearly any mounting style without sacrificing strength. This backs the panel with a 10-year product warranty and a 25-year linear power guarantee, assuring no more than 0.7 % power loss per year—at least 82.5 % of original output after 25 years.
- 60 monocrystalline cells
- 285 W nameplate capacity
- 17.0 % efficiency
- 1,000 V DC maximum system voltage
- H4 compatible connectors
- 10-year product and 25-year performance warranty
More power and efficiency
Under standard test conditions (STC), the SW 285 delivers its full 285 W output with 17 % module efficiency. Anti-reflective glass and positive-tolerance “Plus-Sorting” (-0/ 5 W) further ensure you receive extra watts right out of the box.Keeping cool in high temperatures
The module’s temperature coefficient of −0.41 % / °C for Pmpp means power drops only about 0.41 % for every 1.8 °F above 77 °F, so you keep harvesting energy even during summer peaks.
High quality standards
Every component is tested to meet IEC requirements three times over, and the module is certified against salt-mist, ammonia, blowing-sand and snow-load stress. TÜV “Power Controlled” certification guarantees industry-leading measurement accuracy.
Reliability and degradation resistance
SolarWorld guarantees no more than 0.7 % annual power degradation, ensuring at least 82.5 % of original performance after 25 years, backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty.Enhanced frame design
The 1.3" frame supports heavy snow loads up to 113 psf (≈ 5,400 Pa) and wind loads up to 64 psf (≈ 3,100 Pa) on a two-rail mount, with even higher ratings on three-rail systems. Robust clear-anodized aluminum resists corrosion for decades of service.Classic clear-frame aesthetics
A clear anodized bezel surrounding deep-blue monocrystalline cells offers a timeless look that pairs well with both light and dark roofs. Thin front busbars and ARC glass create a clean, uninterrupted surface from the street.
