Notes from our research: Panel brand differs between retailers: Voltacon says 'Elite Solar', LED and Solar says 'ET Solar'. Voltacon's standalone Elite Solar 625W listing is model ET-NR66TBH625GL (23.1%, 2.0 mm glass both sides, 12-year product / 30-year power warranty), but the kit page does not name the model, so those values are not applied. Panel footprint 2382x1134 mm (depth not stated, so dimensionsMm left null); weight given as 'approximately 33kg'. The listing says the BYM600 is ENA-registered as ZHEJI/15702/V1/A1, which is the same reference Voltacon gives for its VMI600 (600W, 96.5% peak / 96% EU efficiency, 10-year warranty); BYM600 and VMI600 may be the same unit, but this is not confirmed, so EU efficiency and warranty are left null. Rear-side bifacial gain is not guaranteed.
