WINAICO Ultra Black solar panels

All black, glass on both sides, with a 30‑year product warranty

Why we fit WINAICO

Black from edge to edge

WINAICO puts the wiring behind the cells, so your roof shows black glass in a black frame, with no silver lines across it.

Glass on both sides

Your panels have 2.0 mm glass on the back as well as the front, where most panels use a polymer sheet, a common point of failure.

30 years on every panel

WINAICO covers your panels for 30 years, double the 15 years a standard polymer-backed panel carries.

What back contact means for your roof

On most panels, thin silver lines run across the front of every cell to carry the power. WINAICO moves those connections to the back. Your panels look solid black from the street, and more of each cell is open to the sun.

  • Up to 20% more power from the back

    Your panels also turn light that reaches their glass back into power. Depending on your roof and how they're mounted, each panel can make up to 20% more from its rear, or up to 100 W.

  • Your output, guaranteed for 30 years

    Your panels can lose no more than 1% of their output in the first year and 0.35% a year after that. In year 30, WINAICO guarantees at least 88.85% of their rated power.

  • More power from less roof

    Each panel is rated at 500 W and 24.5% efficiency, so we can fit the system your home needs on a roof that is short on space.

  • Designed around your roof

    We measure your roof on site, design your system around it, and show you the layout before you decide.
