Avancis PowerMax 380 (380 W)
The Avancis PowerMax 380 is a 380 W solar module built on Thin-Film CIGS technology (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS) thin-film). It delivers a maximum-power voltage (Vmp) of 32.4 V at a maximum-power current (Imp) of 11.73 A, with an open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 39.5 V and a short-circuit current (Isc) of 12.4 A under Standard Test Conditions (1000 W/m², 25 °C, AM1.5G). Conversion efficiency is 15.6% across a 1750 x 1100 mm footprint.

Technology & Performance Notes
Thin-Film CIGS is a flexible thin-film technology used for lightweight and building-integrated applications. At 15.6% module efficiency the Avancis PowerMax 380 converts 15.6% of incident solar irradiance into DC electricity, putting it in the value efficiency tier for its class. The 196.9 W/m² power density determines how many watts fit on a given roof or field area.
String Sizing & System Notes
When wiring the Avancis PowerMax 380 into a string:
- Keep the string Voc (temperature-corrected to the coldest expected cell temperature) below the inverter’s maximum DC input voltage.
- Keep the string operating Vmp within the inverter’s MPPT window across the expected temperature range.
- Size fusing and conductors against Isc (12.4 A) with the standard 1.25x safety factor.
