Warranty and returns

Eco-Worthy's warranty page gives most products 1 year and its 12 and 24 V batteries 3 years, for the original buyer only, against 10 years on its 48 V server-rack and PowerMega batteries and 2 years on its all-in-one inverters, both tiered by age.

Rear-Side gain, 19.6 percent by area

The L02M195NTM is Eco-Worthy's 195 W N-type bifacial rigid panel for 12 V systems, a 1495 x 665 mm module of 60 cells behind 3.2 mm tempered glass, with a 21.2 V open-circuit voltage.

Verdict

It suits a buyer who has ground or roof room for a 58.9 in panel and a reflective surface under it, and who will not need an output warranty or more than a year of product coverage.
