Quality, Costs & Affordability
All Tianwei panels come with TUV, UL and MCS-BABT Certification. Also a vertically integrated PV value chain ensures secured supply, high quality and low cost of Tianwei products. Tianwei solar panels are cheap and affordable, being Chinese. The module would cost around 70 cents per watt.

are Tianwei TW 190(35)D-2 an approved panel in Australia
Can a Tianwei Solar come up with an answer to me>?
I am an Automotive Engineer & working on a RV project the Van roof makes it difficult to fit 3 solid Solar Panels without overhang & hope you can help me.
PANEL LENGTH: 162″ prefer under. Panel length will go across the width of van.
PANEL WIDTH: Narrow as possible, as what ever panel we use it will over hang the length of Van.
Width of Van is is 162Inches so the length of panel must not be over 162″ (preferred under) Panel will be installed panel length wise across the van width.
Looking up to towards 200 Watt each panel
Open Circuit voltage giving total of around 120V Dc for 3 panels in series (OCV 40v) each panel.
We are using a 5Kw Lithium battery charged by a GROWATT Inverter Charger with battery management,
GroWatt specs for the Dc Voltage input ranges from 102v DC to 148v Dc
