Usually in Sri Lanka absorbed solar panels temperature increases above 80 centigrade. Solar panels with the capacity to absorb higher temperature fail in functioning as a result and reduce their lifetime by years.

It generates power from 6am to 6pm. Thus it is super flex design and perfect answer to irregularly shaped or different roof orientations and Fronius inverter has WLAN or Ethernet internet connection to monitor remotely.
