Panasonic 320K, N325K2 datasheet

N325K / N320K

Appearance may look

Panasonic’s unique heterojunction technology uses ultra-thin
amorphous silicon layers. These thin dual layers reduce losses,
resulting in higher energy output than conventional panels.

Electrodes

Panasonic HIT® Black is the brand new all-black module which
features high efficiency 19.4%, industry leading temperature coefficient
of -0.258% /⁰C and a sleek design. Powerful and aesthetically designed
to make your roof look great.

Our competitive advantages

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 even comes close to our temperature
characteristics. That means more energy
throughout the day.

Quality and Reliability

Panasonic’s vertical integration, 21 years of
experience manufacturing HIT® and 20 internal
tests beyond those mandated by current
standards provides extreme quality assurance.

25 Year Product and Performance Warranty**

Industry leading 25 year product workmanship
and performance warranty is backed by a century
old company- Panasonic. Power output is
guaranteed to 90.76% after 25 years, far greater
than other companies.

Higher Efficiency 19.4%

Enables higher power output and greater energy
yields. HIT® provides maximum production for
your limited roof space.

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.

Enhanced Frame Design

A new 40mm frame increases durability and
strength, being able to handle loads of up to 5400Pa.
Also, the water drainage system gives rain water
and snow melt a place to go, reducing water stains
and soiling. Less dirt on the module means more
sunlight getting through to generate power.
