SunPower Max 490-505W N-Type Back Contact Solar Panel
High-efficiency residential solar panel delivering up to 505W of power and 24.7% module efficiency. Featuring advanced N-Type Back Contact cell technology, glass-glass construction, a sleek all-black design, and an industry-leading 30-year product and performance warranty. Ideal for premium residential installations.
The SunPower Max Series combines premium performance, exceptional durability, and advanced solar technology to maximise energy generation for residential applications. Available in power classes ranging from 490W to 505W, these high-density modules deliver industry-leading efficiencies of up to 24.7%, helping homeowners generate more power from limited roof space.
Built with innovative N-Type Back Contact (BC) cell technology, the module features a busbar-free front surface that maximises active cell area, enhances aesthetics, and improves energy capture. The advanced cell design reduces operating temperatures, lowers hotspot risk, and helps minimise the potential for micro-cracks, supporting long-term reliability and performance.
The robust glass-glass construction utilises dual 2.0mm heat-strengthened glass layers and a black anodised aluminium frame, providing excellent durability in harsh environmental conditions. The module is designed to withstand snow loads up to 5400Pa and wind loads up to 2400Pa, while maintaining reliable performance throughout its service life.
Backed by a comprehensive 30-year warranty, the SunPower Max Series guarantees 99% output in year one and a low annual degradation rate of only 0.35%, ensuring outstanding long-term energy production and investment protection.
