Module area excludes gaps, setbacks, access and roof constraints.Specification before brand. Compare the exact model, available roof area, shading, mounting design and written warranty. Same wattage does not guarantee the same annual generation; site conditions and system design matter.
*Warranty cover depends on exact variant, sales channel and current written terms. Confirm the current manufacturer document and the model specified in the quotation before ordering.
