The Waaree Energies WSMD-540 is a 540 W solar panel. Finding a compatible replacement requires matching the original electrical characteristics — particularly Voc, Vmpp, Isc, and temperature coefficients — to ensure safe operation within the same string.
Use the form above to find panels that match these specifications. Then verify the replacement in the String Compatibility Calculator with your inverter.
| Model | Power | Voc | Isc |
|---|---|---|---|
| 515 W | 48.86 V | 13.49 A | |
| 520 W | 49.01 V | 13.55 A | |
| 525 W | 49.16 V | 13.63 A | |
| 530 W | 49.31 V | 13.69 A | |
| 535 W | 49.46 V | 13.76 A | |
| 545 W | 49.76 V | 13.9 A |
The most critical specs to match are: cell count (must be exactly 144), Voc close to 49.61 V (within ±5%), and temperature coefficient TcVoc close to -0.27%/°C. If Voc differs significantly, the string voltage at extreme temperatures may shift outside the inverter's MPPT range. The replacement finder above pre-screens all candidates by these criteria.
A higher wattage panel usually has a higher Vmpp or Isc, which can affect string voltage and current. Small increases (up to 10–15%) are typically safe if the other electrical specs align. The replacement finder shows a compatibility score — 'Exact match' means the specs align closely. Always verify the replacement in the String Compatibility Calculator with your inverter before installation.
If the replacement has a significantly different Voc or Vmpp, the string voltage may shift outside the inverter's MPPT range, reducing energy production or causing faults. This effect is amplified at temperature extremes: at low temperatures, voltage rises by the TcVoc coefficient. The replacement finder automatically accounts for this — it scores candidates by how closely the electrical specs match the original Waaree Energies WSMD-540.
