1. Module Warranty: 25-year limited warranty of 80% power output; 12-year limited warranty of 90% power output; 5-year limited warranty of
materials and workmanship. See your local representative for full terms of these warranties.
2. These data represent the performance of typical BP 365 products, and are based on measurements made in accordance with ASTM E1036
corrected to SRC (STC.)
3. During the stabilization process that occurs during the first few months of deployment, module power may decrease by up to 3% from
typical Pmax.
