Sharp NE-165U1

If you are looking for a safe, clean and reliable source of alternative energy for large electrical power installations you could depend on Sharp – one of the world’s leading manufactures of photovoltaic modules and its NE165U1 - 165 Watt Solar Module. This module is based on the technology of crystal silicon solar cells which have undergone over 35 years of research and development. The well-researched NE165U1 - 165 Watt Solar Module from Sharp is extremely durable to withstand rigorous operating conditions and very well suited for grid connected systems. Incidentally, all SHARP modules are manufactured in ISO 9001 certified factories. 
 
Residences, office buildings, solar power stations, solar villages, radio relay stations, beacons and traffic lights are some of the popular areas of application of this high power module which uses 125 mm square multi-crystal silicon solar cells with 12.68% module conversion efficiency. If you are wondering about its efficacy under shade, the photovoltaic module with bypass diode minimizes the power drop caused by reduction of sunlight. the module uses textured cell surface to reduce loss due to sunlight reflection and its Back Surface Field (BSF) structure helps in the improvement of cell conversion efficiency. To withstand the rigors of continued exposure to the outdoors, it is equipped with white tempered glass, EVA resin, and a weatherproof film along with an aluminum frame. Measuring 62.01" x 32.52" x 1.81" (1575 x 826 x 46 mm) and weighing  37.485 lbs (17.0 kg) its operating/storage temperature ranges from -40 to +90 C.

This module can be used with grid connected systems with voltages open circuit up to 600VDC or with 24 volt off grid systems using the MX60 step down MPPT charge control, or any standard 24VDC nominal battery system and suitable charge control. The construction and design are user-friendly and efficient.  With its clear anodized aluminum frame, the module looks attractive too. Convenient to install, the cables have MC monitors which makes wiring in series a very easy task. There is however another similar brand from SAPC (Schott Applied Power Corp.) the SAPC and the sharp 165 modules have similar features.
 
 Not only is this module manufactured by one of the leading PV module makers of the world, but all Sharp modules are backed by a 25-year warranty. Needless to mention, buying a Sharp NE165-U1 is one of the wisest decisions you could make which offers more than value for money.
