NPC warrants #900 Solar Seal will meet the performance data tests listed below. Under this warranty the expected life of #900 Solar Seal is 20 years, provided the user has followed our installation and joint design instructions. (see diagram)
Solar module manufacturing appears to be quite simple, yet the performance and life cycle of the module depends on every individual part, whose effective coordination is expected to extend the durable life of solar module to 25 years or longer.
For businesses considering solar installations, understanding the lifespan and degradation of solar panels is paramount to evaluating the return on investment. Commercial-grade solar panels typically boast a lifespan of 25 years or more before displaying noticeable degradation.
Sealing profiles in a solar panel system serve several purposes. One is to keep the glass in position avoiding leakage of fluids or letting rain in. Blocking absorption of dust and particles are other factors that severly affects the service life of the application.
