SolarWorld SW230, Solar Panel, 230 Watt 20 Volt
MC4 Connectors
Monocrystalline
Detailed Description:
The Sunmodule from SolarWorld represents one of the best values in
the PV industry. The Sunmodule’s tight power tolerance of +/-3%
ensures the highest system efficiency without the need for on-site
module sorting. The fully automated manu-facturing process at
SolarWorld’s ISO 9001-2000 factories produces modules with consistently
high quality. Choosing the Sunmodule® will ensure high kWh yields for
the long term.
To guarantee long term yields, Sunmodules are
built to last. SolarWorld bonds the tempered glass laminate deep into
the aluminum frame with a continuous bead of silicone adhesive. This
method guarantees exceptional rigidity for the entire module and
prevents the frame from loosening or pulling away from the glass in
cases such as the sliding of heavy snow or handling. Tests carried out
in accordance with IEC 61215, which applies loads of up to 113 lb/sf
(5.4 kN/m2) demonstrate that the module can withstand high loads such
as heavy accumulations of snow and ice.
The Sunmodule® features
a patented, low profile junction box with integrated 25A Schottkey
bypass diodes that is completely sealed against corrosion. The ability
to rapidly dissipate excess heat allows the diodes and junction box to
operate at lower temperatures. The junction box is reliably connected
by a solid, welded bond to guarantee lasting functionality and is
factory-equipped with high-quality, robust cables and locking
connectors. All Sunmodules carry a 25-year performance warranty and
can be returned to SolarWorld at their end of life for recycling.
