The AIMS Power 200W N-Type Monocrystalline Solar Panel Puts 200W of Battery Charging in a 21 lb Framed Panel One Person Can Install
The AIMS Power 200W N-Type Monocrystalline Solar Panel (PV200MONO) uses 68 N-type mono cells in a (2x17)*2 layout behind 3.2 mm tempered glass, held in a reinforced aluminum frame. It measures 49.2 x 30.12 x 1.18 inches, weighs 21 lbs and AIMS lists 25% cell efficiency.
It's made for battery charging in a wide range of solar systems, from homes and off-grid cabins to RVs, vehicles and remote or industrial installations. A pre-drilled frame and 31.5 inch leads with MC4 compatible connectors keep mounting and wiring straightforward, and AIMS notes the compact panel can be installed quickly by a single person.
AIMS Power 200W N-Type Monocrystalline Solar Panel Features
N-Type Cells for Efficient Energy Harvest
The N-type monocrystalline cells are rated at 25% cell efficiency, and textured, high transmission glass helps the panel capture light. Under standard test conditions the panel produces 200W at 21.1V and 9.73A.
Bypass Diode Reduces Shading Losses
An integrated bypass diode, rated at 10A, reduces power loss when part of the panel is shaded. That helps your system stay productive under partial shade.
Built for Snow, Wind and Hail
AIMS rates the surface for a 6000Pa snow load and a 3600Pa wind load, with hail resistance up to 45 mm at 30.7 m/s. The 3.2 mm tempered glass and reinforced aluminum frame protect the cells against harsh weather and environmental stress.
IP67 Junction Box and MC4 Compatible Leads
The junction box is rated IP67, and 31.5 inch leads come off it with MC4 compatible connectors. Connect them to your charge controller with extension cables, or link several panels together for a larger array.
1000V DC Maximum System Voltage
AIMS lists a maximum system voltage of 1000V DC and a maximum series fuse rating of 15A. Keep any series string within both the 1000V DC rating and your charge controller's input limits.
Wide Operating Temperature Range
The panel operates from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to 185°F). Its temperature coefficient of Pmax is -0.38%/°C, and the nominal operating cell temperature (NOCT) is 45±2°C.
25-Year Limited Warranty
AIMS backs the panel with a 25-year limited warranty that maintains 91.2% output at 12 years and 80.6% output at 25 years.
Real-World Applications
Home solar and backup. Add 200W panels to a home battery system for daily charging or backup power.
RVs and vehicles. Mount the framed panel on an RV or vehicle roof with the pre-drilled holes to charge your house battery.
Off-grid cabins and remote sites. Build an array for a cabin or remote installation where grid power isn't available.
Industrial installations. AIMS lists industrial solar installations among the applications for its pre-drilled aluminum frame.
Practical Comparison
One 200W Panel Versus Several Smaller Panels
A single 200W panel means fewer mounts and fewer connections than reaching the same wattage with smaller panels. At 21 lbs it's still compact enough for one person to handle and install.
Rigid Framed Panel Versus a Flexible Panel
A flexible panel can follow a curved surface. This panel's 3.2 mm tempered glass and aluminum frame are made for bolting to racks, roofs and ground mounts, with snow, wind and hail ratings for stationary installations.
Buyer Guidance
Check the Voltage for Your Controller
The panel's open circuit voltage is 24.48V and its short circuit current is 10.21A. Panels wired in series add their voltages, and panels wired in parallel add their currents, so total your array and make sure it stays within your charge controller's input limits.
Plan the Roof or Rack Space
Measure for the 49.2 x 30.12 inch footprint, allow for the 1.18 inch frame depth, and plan your cable runs from the 31.5 inch leads to your controller.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- You want a framed 200W panel for a fixed mount
- You're charging a battery bank at home, cabin or RV
- You need snow, wind and hail ratings
- You'd like a panel one person can install
Common Questions
What Are the Electrical Ratings?
Maximum power is 200W, with 21.1V at maximum power (Vmp) and 9.73A at maximum power (Imp). Open circuit voltage (Voc) is 24.48V and short circuit current (Isc) is 10.21A under standard test conditions (1000W/m², 25°C cell temperature, AM 1.5).
How Long Are the Leads?
The leads are 31.5 inches long with MC4 compatible connectors.
Can One Person Install It?
AIMS describes it as a compact 200W panel that one person can install quickly and easily. It weighs 21 lbs, and the aluminum frame comes pre-drilled for mounting.
What Warranty Does It Have?
AIMS lists a 25-year limited warranty, with 91.2% output at 12 years and 80.6% output at 25 years.
