While big on power, it&#8217;s comparatively small on physical size &#8211; 1835mm x 1017mm x 40mm. Just as a comparison, another high-end panel, the LG Neon 2 415W, is 2024mm x 1024mm x 40 mm.<\/p>\n<p>Second, this is an AC solar panel, meaning it has a factory-integrated microinverter on the back &#8211; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/inverters\/enphase-review.html\">Enphase<\/a> IQ7A. Instead of the Direct Current (DC) power generated by conventional modules, these panels output Alternating Current (AC).\u00a0 You can find out more about the pros and cons of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/inverters\/micro\/\">AC solar panels and microinverters here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Various manufacturers have been producing AC modules that have been available overseas for some years, but few have appeared in Australia. The locally-produced original Tindo Karra was one.<\/p>\n<p>The SunPower Maxeon 5 AC also has a very good temperature coefficient:\u00a0 \u22120.29%\/\u00b0C. This refers to how much a solar panel\u2019s efficiency is reduced by for each degree increase in the panel\u2019s (not air) temperature above STC (standard testing conditions), which is 25\u00b0C. You can learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/temperature-coefficient\/\">how heat affects solar panel output here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Weight-wise, the Maxeon 5 AC is heavier than the LG Neon 2 &#8211; 21.1kg vs. 20.3 kg. That difference would be due to the integrated Enphase microinverter that weighs a bit over a kilogram, which is significantly heavier than the PV junction box on conventional panels that it replaces.<\/p>\n<p>Maxeon is providing a 25 year product warranty, covering both the panel and microinverter, and a year 25 warranted power output of 92%.<\/p>\n<p>I still don&#8217;t have pricing at this point but as mentioned previously, the Maxeon 5 will no doubt be very pricey as anything branded SunPower tends to be. But buyers aren&#8217;t just paying for a name and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/sunpower-review.html\">SunPower solar panel reviews<\/a> from Australians have generally been very positive.<\/p>\n<p>The full SunPower Maxeon AC 5 Module datasheet <a href=\"https:\/\/sunpower.maxeon.com\/au\/sites\/default\/files\/2021-01\/MAX5-AC-415-410-400_ds_ENG_20-12.pdf\">can be viewed here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some good news for Australian AC solar panel fans &#8211;
