Optimizing your solar energy investment

The new Q series solar panels are designed by BP Solar to meet the demanding quality and reliability requirements of project applications.

Proven reliability
Manufactured and tested according to BP Solar stringent Q6000 life-cycle testing standards. The Q series is tested far beyond international requirements, ensuring highest reliability in field operation

Backed by BP Solar warranty

With almost 40 years of experience BP Solar has been around longer than our warranties. BP Solar is part of BP - ranked in the top 5 of Fortunes global 500 worlds largest corporations

Flexibility for your installation

Module powers from 220 to 230W give you the freedom to design your system to meet the needs of your site specific requirements.

Optimized production in the field

Each power band is supplied in 4 different groups according to the module current; this allows you to optimize the system layout and minimize mismatching losses. The result is increased Performance Ratio (PR) of the utility.
