1. Warranty: Power output for 25 years. Freedom from defects in materials and workmanship for 5 years. See our website or your local
representative for full terms of these warranties.
2. These data represent the performance of typical BP 175B 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 1% from typical Pmax.
