The panel’s lower positioning on the TRU makes it less susceptible to overhead scrapes, and since it isn’t suspended over the exhaust path, it avoids any efficiency losses that may occur from being exposed to high temperatures. The panel uses three engineered layers to help maximize strength and efficiency: The light-trapping upper layer is scratch-, impact- and weather-resistant; the middle layer is composed of uncut monocrystalline cells that help maximize output and minimize power loss from intermittent shading; and the copper bottom layer serves as a heat sink that helps keeps the panel cooler for greater efficiency.
