including a longer test period than IEC and safety
tests beyond UL testing
-Highly reliable
(as of June 2013, failure ratio:0.0029%)

Salt mist corrosion tested

PID* Free *Potential Induced Degradation

-Tested by 3rd party to be PID* free.

-Salt mist corrosion tested by TUV Rheinland
in compliance with IEC 61701

Anti-reflective coated glass Effective water drainage

-AR glass allows greater output - Prevents damage from ice
- Minimizes water build-up Drainage
