Questions & answers

How efficient is the AXITEC AC-380MH/144S?

The AXITEC datasheet guarantees at least 19.1% module efficiency for the 380 W class (up to 19.4% for 385 W). 380 W over 2.01 m² equals about 189 W per square meter.

How much energy does one panel produce in Los Angeles or Palmdale?

PVWatts v8 with typical-year weather gives about 637 kWh per year per 380 W panel in Los Angeles and about 697 kWh in Palmdale (20° roof, facing south, 14% system losses).

How much power does it lose on a hot roof?

With γ = −0.39 %/°C, at a 77 °C cell temperature (hottest modeled hour in Palmdale) output is about 20.2% below the STC rating.

How many panels fit on one string?

With the Tesla 1538000-xx-y (max DC 600 V, MPPT from 60 V, datasheet) in Los Angeles the calculator gives 2–11 panels per string (Voc at 2 °C = 51 V, Vmp at 74 °C cell = 31.6 V). Final design must follow the inverter manual and NEC 690.7.

Does it work with Enphase IQ8PLUS-72-2-US microinverters?

Voltage check against the Enphase datasheet: Voc when cold 51 V vs max input 60 V; Vmp when hot 31.6 V vs MPPT low 29 V; recommended module power 235–440 W. Confirm on the microinverter maker’s compatibility list.

What does the warranty cover?

15 years on the product and 25 years on performance: at least 85% after 25 years (manufacturer datasheet).

How big and heavy is it?

79.1 × 39.4 × 1.57 in (2,008 × 1,002 × 40 mm), 50.7 lb (23 kg).

What fire rating does it have?

UL 61730 fire rating Type 1 per datasheet.
