Suntech was founded in 2001 and is the world's largest manufacturer of crystalline silicon photovoltaic module. The company's headquarters are in San Francisco, California, but it also has manufacturing plants in Wuxi, China, Shanghai, Japan, Qinghai, Germany, New Zealand, Australia, and the U.S.
Suntech produces Ultra V, Ultra X, as well as HiSpec series solar panels. These modules are designed to offer excellent performance and reliability. These panels feature innovative technologies that increase energy density and stability. They are made using a flexible ribbon and a reflective backsheet. They are also half-cut to maximize reliability.
Suntech has a range of bifacial module that can generate more power then conventional panels. They come in power ratings of 390W to 590W and 580W to 600W. The solar cells are protected by a highly reflective backsheet. This reduces the system's efficiency.
Suntech solar panels have excellent conversion efficiencies, which means they generate more power over a smaller area. They can also resist corrosion making them an ideal choice for coastal regions. Suntech also produces solar panels that can be used for utility and commercial purposes, as well as residential solar systems.
Suntech is committed towards design excellence. Research and development at Suntech has collaborated with the best minds in climate change research. Suntech has won numerous environmental protection awards from the United Nations. Suntech is known for being one of the top solar panel manufacturers.
Suntech's solar panel are made to work in a variety applications and offer an economical solution. There are many options available such as bifacial panels, multi-busbar technology and interconnection with high-density cells. They also come with a 12-year manufacturer's warranty and a 5-year performance guarantee.
VDE's TDAP certification was also awarded to the company, making it the first Asian manufacturer. This testing is extremely rigorous, and the panels are therefore certified to meet the strict quality standards set by the German association.
Suntech's Ultra V (Ultra X), and HiSpec series of solar panels are due to launch in August 2020. These panels are highly efficient with a half-cut design to maximize the performance of the modules. They also feature a flexible ribbon for maximum initial stability. The module's rear side also receives a 30% bonus production. The double glass panels come with a 30-year warranty.
Suntech also makes bifacial panel, which is designed to improve the performance of solar panels in low-light conditions. These modules have a highly reflective backsheet and special ribbon design that provides maximum efficiency. They have a unique 4-busbar structure on each cell, which reduces electrode distances. These modules are rated at a nominal power of 97.5. The output of these panels is expected to fall by approximately 0.7% annually, making them an attractive investment for the next 25 year.
