Why Panel Dimensions Matter in Solar Projects

When planning solar installations, the physical size of photovoltaic panels directly impacts system design and energy output. The SUNSHINE 450W module has become a popular choice for residential and commercial projects alike. But what makes its dimensions particularly interesting?

"A solar panel''s footprint determines how many units you can fit on a roof – and ultimately how much power you generate."

Key Specifications Breakdown

  • Dimensions: 2108mm × 1048mm × 35mm
  • Weight: 23.5kg
  • Frame material: Anodized aluminum alloy
  • Glass thickness: 3.2mm tempered

Installation Considerations

Let''s compare the SUNSHINE 450W panel with similar products. Roof space optimization often decides project viability:

Model Dimensions (mm) Wattage Efficiency
SUNSHINE 450W 2108×1048 450 20.8%
Competitor A 2172×1303 440 19.3%

Real-World Application Scenario

Take California homeowner Sarah''s case: Her 25-panel system using SUNSHINE modules generated 12.5kW – enough to power her 3-bedroom home while leaving roof space for future expansion. The compact design allowed creative placement around skylights and vents.

Industry Trends & Innovations

Recent advancements in solar technology enable higher power outputs without increasing panel sizes. Three key developments drive this trend:

  1. PERC cell technology improvements
  2. Advanced bypass diode configurations
  3. Thinner but stronger backsheet materials
Pro Tip: Always verify local building codes – some municipalities have specific requirements for panel overhang beyond roof edges.

Optimizing System Layout

For those wondering how many panels their roof can accommodate, here''s a quick formula:

 Available roof area (m²) ÷ Panel area (m²) = Maximum panels

But remember – real-world factors like shading and equipment placement typically reduce this number by 10-15%.

Maintenance Considerations

  • Minimum 50cm clearance for cleaning access
  • Snow load capacity: 5400Pa
  • Wind resistance: 2400Pa

Frequently Asked Questions

Can these panels be installed vertically?

While possible, vertical installation may reduce efficiency by 8-12% due to cell orientation.

How does panel size affect shipping costs?

Standard pallets hold 28-32 panels. The SUNSHINE 450W''s dimensions optimize container space, keeping logistics costs competitive.
