Questions & answers

How efficient is the Boviet Solar BVM7610M-445-H-HC?

Calculated from the panel area (2.1 m²): about 21.2% for the 445 W class. 445 W over 2.1 m² equals about 212 W per square meter.

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

PVWatts v8 with typical-year weather gives about 746 kWh per year per 445 W panel in Los Angeles and about 817 kWh in Palmdale (20° roof, facing south, 14% system losses).

How much power does it lose on a hot roof?

With γ = −0.352 %/°C, at a 77 °C cell temperature (hottest modeled hour in Palmdale) output is about 18.2% below the STC rating.

Has this panel been reliability-tested?

BVM7610M-xxx-H-HC was a PVEL Top Performer in 2023 (MSS, PID).
