Autarco TBT Full Black Solar Panels

The Netherlands based Autarco was founded with total self-sufficiency for rooftop solar in mind by creating a one stop shop for all elements of a solar PV system. 

Founded in 2011 and originally based in Hong Kong, Autarco moved to the Netherlands the following year.

The single solution design approach to rooftop solar, eliminating the need for multiple brands, allows for Autarco to easily provide reliable designs which minimise risk and come with a clear breakdown of costs.

A unique selling point of Autarco is its drive to tackle the underperformance of solar PV systems with their unique digital twin monitoring system and kWh performance guarantee. This removes the risk for installers and customers down the chain and provides additional security compared with traditional warranties.

Autarco’s TBT series are made with the latest monocrystalline n-type TOPCon solar cells which achieve an excellent 22.27% module efficiency in the 445W solar panels.

The bifacial solar cell design of these glass-glass backed panels can boost their performance and output even further with both sides of the panel exposed to sunlight.

N-type cells with TOPCon technology guarantee a better performance in low light conditions with reduced PID degradation over time.

The half-cut solar cells with multi-busbar cell layout technology also sees less power lost to shading and electrical resistance, further increasing the overall efficiency of the solar panel.

In a unique, cutting edge system for guaranteeing the performance of your solar panels Autarco creates a complete digital twin of your solar PV system, everything from the location and orientation of the panels to the sunlight they receive.

When the solar panels are installed Autarco takes note of everything from their location, shading at different times of the day, and even monitors real time sunlight and temperature. All of this goes into creating the digital twin.

This digital twin runs 24/7 and is constantly compared with the real performance of your PV system. If the real deal is not doing as well as it should, alarm bells ring and Autarco will notify their partner, your installer.

This kWh Guarantee is a totally unique warranty offering. Where most solar panel manufacturers offer performance guarantees for their product, Autarco offers a 5-year guarantee for the performance of the expected output of the system.

In the event that your solar PV system is not delivering the output which was guaranteed at the time of installation, you will receive a cashback refund for the missing power.

The anodised all-black aluminium frame of the TBT series ensures that all elements of the solar panels blend seamlessly into one another, and with your rooftop.

Combined with the double glass front and back frames this provides a very attractive modern appearance for your solar PV system.

On top of its unique kWh Guarantee Autarco also offers product and performance warranties in line with the best of the industry. The 25 Year Product Warranty protects customers for the bulk of their panels’ expected lifespan.

The 30 Year Performance Guarantee promises no more than 1% loss of output in the first year of operation, and 0.4% annual loss thereafter. At the end of 30 Years Autarco TBT solar panels should retain 87.4% of their original output.
