Photovoltaic Modules     Make electricity from free, quiet, non-polluting sunlight. No moving parts.

Solar Cells convert sunlight (light not heat) into DC electricity. Cells are wired together and sealed to form a module. Modules are normally constructed with a low-iron tempered glass cover, anodized aluminum frame, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) around the cells, tedlar back cover and a junction box. Two or more modules are connected together to form an array. When modules are parallel connected, the voltage output is the same as one module and the amps are added together. Two 12 volt modules series connected will have 24 volt output with the same amps as one module. Single crystal cells are dark gray or black. Poly-crystal cells are blue speckled. Some large modules are 18 volt instead of 24 volt. These can be used for charging 12 to 48 volt batteries by using the proper MPPT charge controller.
MC Connectors
- Modules with these Multi-Contact Connectors do not have a regular junction box. Instead they have pre-wired leads with a male or female plug. These plugs are easily connected in series for 24 volt and higher voltages. Special wiring cables are ordered separately to run between modules and combiner box. These durable connectors can save installation time and are popular in larger systems.
   

British Petroleum BP Made in USA with single crystal or poly-crystal silicon cells, 25 year power warranty.
Kyocera
Made in Japan with square poly-crystal cells. 20 year power warranty. 2 year workmanship warranty. Get more real watts with tighter power tolerance - modules 205 and 210 are +5 watts/-0 watts and modules 135 and 185 are +5 watts/-5 watts.  New stronger frame rated 50psi or 130 mph wind and increased snow load. Frame thickness on modules 135 watts and larger is 1.8" or 46mm.  Modules are normally 2 per box. A single module cost more for handling and packaging. Add California Sales Tax for California shipments.
Sharp
Made in Japan. 25 year power warranty.

Solar World/Shell/Siemens
Made in USA or Germany with single crystal cells. 25 year power warranty.
SunWize
Made in India. Single crystal cells. 20 year 80% power warranty.

The supply and prices of modules can be variable.

Shipping weight is based on both weight and size. Two modules often ship for same cost as one. Modules larger than 135 watts are normally too large for UPS shipping.

UniSolar Amorphous Modules            Durable-No Glass– Good Low Light Output

Cells are non–crystal with 3 layers to absorb different light frequencies. Cells are made by depositing a thin film of silicon material on stainless steel sheet metal. A steel back is added for stiffness. Module is encapsulated in UV stabilized polymers and framed in anodized aluminum. Bypass diodes are connected across each cell, enabling the modules to produce power even when partially shaded. US64 and US32 have junction box, US5 and US11 have 8’ wire lead. A blocking diode or charge controller must be used between battery and module. UL listed. 20 year factory warranty.

Small modules are a good match to run hot water circulating pumps, small fans for composting toilets or attic ventilating, fence chargers, gate openers, remote lights, radios, etc. Keep idle car and tractor batteries charged. Batteries will run down on their own, even without a load connected. A lead acid battery should be kept fully charged to minimize sulfation, which lowers capacity and shortens life. Recharge idle batteries monthly.

Small  Modules      with poly-crystal cells.

5 watt has built-in blocking diode, anodized aluminum frame provides easy mounting, glass cover, 10’ UV resistant output cable. Nice for fence chargers, gate openers, outdoor lights and other small jobs. 17.3 volts, .3 amps, 21.3 volts open circuit, .33 amps short circuit.
