marks the better value on rows where a higher number is better. Temperature coefficient counts as higher when it is closer to zero. Size measures such as rated power carry no marker, because a larger product is a different choice rather than a better one.

| Review note | The live Aptos Solar downloads library joins the exact United States series datasheet to the governing post-April-2023 module warranty. | Boviet's United States business was acquired by INOX Solar Americas, LLC, backed by INOX Clean Energy of the INOXGFL Group, in a transaction Boviet announced in May 2026 as an approximately 750 million dollar sale expressly motivated by foreign entity of concern alignment, with completion reported that month; the Vietnamese parent's exchange filing put the module company consideration at up to 254 million dollars with the cell project excluded, and the warranty on this product is still issued by the Vietnamese entity. Module assembly at Greenville, North Carolina began April 2025 at a stated 2 GW capacity, the datasheet carries both Made in USA and Made in Vietnam badges without saying which site builds which bin, the family EPD names the Vietnam plant, and the United States cell factory is unopened with commissioning expected by December 2026, so cells remain imported. INOX Solar Americas is at 1212 Corporate Drive, Suite 540, Irving, Texas, with manufacturing at 1125 Sugg Pkwy, Greenville, North Carolina; there is no installer or distributor locator. |
