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 SW 165 and SW 175 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 SW 80 and SW 85 modules 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 SW80/85 in a smaller version. Useful for small DC loads such as solar hot water system pumps and battery maintaining.
These modules are UL listed, have a 25-year warranty and are FM approved
