BLACK SERIES AC MODULE
Panasonic HIT® AC Modules combine the efficiency of HIT
®
solar panels with the intelligence of seventh-generation
Enphase IQ 7X Microinverters. Delivers a smart grid-ready
module with high efficiency and high power output for
residential solar systems.
HIT® heterojunction technology uses dual ultra-thin
amorphous silicon layers which reduce electron losses
and produce greater power output than conventional panels.

PRELIMINARY
The Panasonic HIT® Advantage
High Efficiency at High Temperatures
As temperature increases, HIT® continues to
perform at high levels due to the industry leading
temperature coefficient of -0.258% /⁰C. No other
module comes close to our temperature
characteristics. That means more energy
throughout the day.
Quality and Reliability
Panasonic’s vertical integration, over 20 years of
experience manufacturing HIT® and 20 internal
tests beyond those mandated by current
standards provides extreme quality assurance.
Low Degradation
HIT “N-type” cells result in extremely Low Light
Induced Degradation (LID) and zero Potential
Induced Degradation (PID) which supports
reliability and longevity. This technology reduces
annual degradation to 0.26% compare to 0.70%
in conventional panels, guaranteeing more power
for the long haul.
TripleGuard 25-Year Warranty
**
TripleGuard covers your solar panel system’s
performance, workmanship, parts, and labor for
25 years**. Whether in year three or year 25, rest
assured your Panasonic warranty protection will
be there when you need it.
Higher Efficiency 19.7%
Enables higher power output and greater energy
yields. HIT® provides maximum production for your
limited roof space.
Enhanced Frame Design
A 40mm frame increases durability and strength,
handling loads of up to 5400Pa. A special water
drainage system prevents rain water accumulation
and eliminates water stains from the panel surface,
allowing optimal sunlight penetration and panel
efficiency.
