Silfab Solar, North America's leading PV manufacturer, earned a "top performer" rating under the rigorous PV Evolution Labs testing. The reliability rating applies to the Silfab Solar conventional 60-cell and 72-cell modules as well as its SIL BL (back-contact, metal wrap-through) module, all of which provide maximum power density and longterm reliability backed by one of the most trusted warranty programs in the industry.

Silfab has been perfecting PV module technology and manufacturing processes for more than 35 years. This was the second year in a row, and third time overall, that Silfab earned PVEL top performer awards. In the 2020 PVEL report released today, Silfab earned top ratings in four key testing categories: thermal cycling (TC), potential-induced degradation (PID), dynamic mechanical load (DML), and damp heat.

"For nearly four decades, Silfab has consistently delivered reliability and performance. Independent and rigorous testing confirms this long-standing commitment to constantly seeking the most advanced designs and holding to strict production benchmarks," said Paolo Maccario, Silfab President and CEO. "We continue to push ourselves to even higher standards and are proud to deliver solar for North America and other key regions of the world."

Operating some of the largest highly automated manufacturing plants in North America, Silfab has perfected production methods and secured exclusive agreements with innovators to deliver the most reliable modules on the market. For example, the current line of mass-production metal wrap-through (MWT) back-contact modules came as the result of a strategic alliance with DSM. Silfab utilizes highefficiency back-contact solar cells with an integrated electro-conductive backsheet developed by DSM to optimize cell and module power output by reducing front shading and minimizing the charge transfer resistance.
