Solarworld PV Modules
Solarworld PV Modules
Solarworld solar cells are based on several exciting and patented developments in technology. A silicon nitride anti-reflection coating produces increased cell output over previously coatings used resulting in 10% higher cell efficiency. These modules are designed for both on and off grid applications. A torsion and corrosion resistant frame insures dependable performance, even under high snow and wind loads.
The SW235 to SW250 are Solarworld's largest PV modules, designed for use in high-voltage grid-connected applications as well as in large industrial and off-grid applications for 24- or 48-volt battery charging. We recommend using these modules where arrays of more than 1 kw are specified. These modules use 72 - 5" square single-crystalline cells in series behind tempered glass. A 20 amp series fuse rating allows the use of two parallel strings of modules with one series fuse. Anodized aluminum frames and a conduit-ready junction box with bypass diodes and Multi-Contact® output cables. The Multi Contact® output cables are easily removed if conduit or other wiring method is desired.
The SW80 module are Solarworld's mid sized modules which have 36 - 5" square single-crystalline cells in series behind tempered glass, with anodized aluminum frames and a conduit-ready junction box with bypass diodes. These modules have a 12 volt nominal output and are the best choice for systems under 1 kW, as well as for solar direct applications such as to power DC fans and water pumps.
The SW 50 has the same feature as the SW80 in a smaller version. Useful for small DC loads such as solar hot water system pumps and battery maintaining.
These modules are cUL listed, have a 25-year warranty and are FM approved
