Quality Matters
|
Solar modules are a substantial investment, regardless of whether your application is commercial, industrial or residential. Most solar panels share resounding similarities in appearance. So, it is virtually impossible to simply judge the quality of a solar module by its appearance. With an increasing number of fly-by-night suppliers in the market, it is an overwhelming task to choose reliable and affordable solar modules/panels. Solar panels should be considered a long term investment. The manufacturing process, quality of materials used and product warranty set solar panels apart. Low quality solar panels often times incorporate substandard or rejected base raw material and components. They are low in efficiency and are not sufficiently encapsulated or laminated to withstand moisture and harsh environmental conditions. They are typically not specially coated to protect against degradation by UV rays. These cheaply produced solar panels (often manufactured from rejected/refused silicone cells) are often times destroyed within a few months (even weeks) after installation. Sadly, in these cases, not only are the panels damaged, but serious damage can be caused to the other installation components and appliances that may be attached to the panels. Furthermore, these garage operated businesses fail to honor any warranty. So the customer is usually left with little or no recourse.
CONSUMER ALERT Rejected / Recycled Solar Cells and Panels
A growing number of unscrupulous suppliers are obtaining rejected / recycled / used solar cells and hastily remanufacturing them and selling them as new solar panels. The rejected/recycled solar cells are often hand soldered and incorporated into new aluminum frames and then primitively laminated and sold as brand new panels. The longevity of these solar panels could be as little as a a few weeks as moisture and other environmental factors are known to quickly destroy them.
In contrast, all components integrated into Ramsond solar panels are certified to be brand new. Ramsond only uses the most premium components and raw material in its line of solar panels. Ramsond solar panels use only 'Grade A' quality silicone cells. Ramsond does not incorporate used, rejected, refused or second-hand cells into its solar panels. Furthermore, Ramsond utilizes the most advanced technologies in the production of its panels. By way of example, the precision soldering process of Ramsond cells is fully automated and guided by microprocessor controlled robotic soldering arms. When you purchase Ramsond solar panels, you can rest assured that your investment safe and guaranteed by a viable company with a long history of service.
Misrepresentation of Output
In addition to selling used/recycled panels as new, many bargain-basement solar panel distributors/retailers are known to over represent or pad the actual output. The actual output of many of these bargain-basement solar panels is 30-50% lower than that represented. Ramsond solar panels, however, are certified and tested for accuracy of output represented in the product information sheet and specifications.

Ramsond Solar Modules - The Elite Standard
|
Ramsond solar panels use the most technologically advanced and premium components. The Ramsond proprietary solar texture cell production system, equipment and protocol are among the most complex and advanced in the world. The solar cells are coated with a blue nitride anti-reflection coatings. This special coating process provides a uniform blue hue color and increases light absorption in all weather conditions.
The encapsulation and lamination process used in Ramsond cells consist of a process that ensures true atmospheric vacuum and encapsulation of cells within laminations layers of High Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (High-EVA) and DuPont™ Tedlar®. The proprietary material used also create an anti-shocking characteristic which makes the solar panel more resilient to withstand hail, harsh environmental factors and extreme temperatures. Each panel is equipped with low-iron, patterned, tempered glass. The glass has been manufactured, again, through a proprietary process, providing up to 60% more strength, as compared to conventional photovoltaic (PV) glass. As a result, Ramsond panels are among the world's strongest, with hail impact survival index rating of 25mm@80 km/h. This means the specialized PV glass of Ramsond panels can withstand hail size of 1+ inch, traveling at speeds of approximately 50 miles per hour.
Ramsond solar panels are framed in heavy duty anodized extruded aluminum with drainage holes. The aluminum frame is specially produced for Ramsond solar panels and is designed to provide a perfect balance of technology, style, function and appearance. The combination of the advanced components and production techniques, along with Ramsond's industry leading 25 Year Limited Warranty, make the Ramsond series of solar panels, among the most advanced in the world.
