700W panels?!

That’s an impressive power output!

[Fintray]

And an impressive size! Don't fancy trying to handle a panel that size on the roof.

I wonder how it compares in Watts per sq mtr

[Mart]

The figures of 22.5% efficiency would appear to be similar to the higher spec panels that are becoming common (~400Wp for more normal sizes). Looking for specs, and seeing suggestions of around 2.3m by 1.3m, so a decent size .... to say the least.

22.5% efficiency is pretty impressive!

Trina seem to already produce 670W panels that are 2.4x1.3m with a 21.4% efficiiency, so increasing that to 22.5% efficiency as reported would presumably keep the same size.

The quoted module efficiency for that 700W panel is 22.5%, so is not a technological step up from other (non bifacial) panels available today, its just larger.
EDIT - Mart already pointed that out.

One of the largest currently available in the UK is this Canadian Solar 575W with a module efficiency of 22.3%, its pretty good value too.

I think the Sunpower ones are the best in efficiency, this 430W panel at around 22.7% but with a price to match.

There is also a 435W Sunpower one with a built in micro inverter at 22.8% efficiency for the ultimate "plug in" type, but they are over £600 a pop.
