Photovoltaic Modules
Our supply of modules changes day to day.
Call to check on price and availability.
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. The modules
listed below are similar in construction - covered with low-iron tempered glass,
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.
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 harnesses
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.
25 year power warranty. Modules
are normally 2 per box. A single module cost more for handling and packaging.

SunWize Made in India. Single crystal cells. 20 year
80% power warranty.
Shipping weight
is based on both weight and size. Two
modules often ship for same cost as one. Modules 130 watts and larger are too
large for UPS.

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. |
