Questions & answers

How efficient is the Goldi Solar GS10-B108-TF 395?

Calculated from the panel area (1.96 m²): about 20.2% for the 395 W class. 395 W over 1.96 m² equals about 202 W per square meter.

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

PVWatts v8 with typical-year weather gives about 662 kWh per year per 395 W panel in Los Angeles and about 725 kWh in Palmdale (20° roof, facing south, 14% system losses).

How much power does it lose on a hot roof?

With γ = −0.292 %/°C, at a 77 °C cell temperature (hottest modeled hour in Palmdale) output is about 15.1% below the STC rating.

Is it bifacial?

Yes. Rear gain depends on mounting height and ground reflectance.

Has this panel been reliability-tested?

GS10-B108-TF-xxx was a PVEL Top Performer in 2024 (LID+LETID).
