Voltage check against the microinverter datasheets — confirm the pairing on the manufacturer’s module compatibility list. Rows appear only when the panel’s power is inside the microinverter’s recommended module power range.

SolarEdge and other optimizer-based systems size strings by the optimizer rules — use the manufacturer’s designer. Reference inverters: most named in SoCal permits since Oct 2024.

Questions & answers

How efficient is the Mission Solar Energy MSE310TS60?

The Mission Solar Energy datasheet guarantees at least 18.5% module efficiency for the 310 W class. 310 W over 1.68 m² equals about 185 W per square meter.

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

PVWatts v8 with typical-year weather gives about 520 kWh per year per 310 W panel in Los Angeles and about 569 kWh in Palmdale (20° roof, facing south, 14% system losses).

How much power does it lose on a hot roof?

With γ = −0.38 %/°C, at a 77 °C cell temperature (hottest modeled hour in Palmdale) output is about 19.7% 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 3–13 panels per string (Voc at 2 °C = 42.9 V, Vmp at 74 °C cell = 26.3 V). Final design must follow the inverter manual and NEC 690.7.

What does the warranty cover?

12 years on the product (manufacturer datasheet).

How big and heavy is it?

65.9 × 39.4 × 1.3 in (1,675 × 1,001 × 33 mm), 39.7 lb (18 kg).

Has this panel been reliability-tested?

This exact series is not in published PVEL Top Performer tables; Mission Solar Energy was named a Top Performer in 2 Scorecards (2024–2025).

What fire rating does it have?

UL 61730 fire rating Type 1 per datasheet.
