BP Polycrystalline Solar PV Cells
|
| The
BP 3 series solar panel is an advanced photovoltaic
module that incorporates polycrystalline cells using
SiN coating to give superior efficiency compared with
same rated modules from other manufacturers. All the
solar panels have “ARC” glass, an anti-reflective
coating with self-cleaning properties so that under
normal conditions panels do not require cleaning. The
modules are robustly constructed using BP’s clear
anodised Universal frame and are offered with a
warranty that will give you confidence in your system
for many years ahead. |
| The
3 series modules have a 12V nominal output and are
primarily designed for battery charging applications
such as off-grid homes, telecommunications &
telemetry sites, navigation equipment, motorhomes
& caravans, sailboats and other sites where low
power is needed. Solar panels can be connected in
parallel to increase power and are modular allowing
the user the flexibility to build up a system over a
period of time in line with budgets and power
requirements. |
Key
Product feature's
- 90%
Power output warranty over 12 years
- 80%
Power output warranty over 25 years
- 5
Year warranty – free from defects in materials
and workmanship
- Clear
Universal frame is manufactured from clear
anodised aluminium alloy type 6063T6. Silver in
colour.
- Temperature
cycling range of –40°C to +85°C for 200 cycles
- Damp
heat tested to withstand 85°C and 85% relative
humidity for 1000 hours
- Front
and rear static load tested eg wind, to 2400 Pa
- Front
load tested eg snow, to 5400 Pa
- Hailstone
impact tested to 25mm hail at 23m/s from 1m
distance
- Rugged
and weatherproof construction - the cells are
laminated between sheets of ethylene vinyl acetate
(EVA) and 3mm tempered glass with a blue tedlar
rear
- The
tempered glass is highly transmissive and self
cleaning from rainfall
- 36
cell panels are configured in a 4 x 9 matrix, each
2 rows of 9 are connected in series with a
Schottky by-pass diode to produce 2 x 6V strings.
These 2 x 6V strings are connected in series to
produce a standard 12V nominal output pane
- 72
cell panels are configured in a 4 x 18 matrix, 2
parallel strings of 36 produce a standard 12V
nominal output
- Easy
to connect - an IP54 weather rated junction box at
the rear of each panel provides a 6 terminal screw
connection block. The terminals accept 2.5-10mm²
(8-14AWG) cable. The junction box has knock outs
to accept PG13.5, M20, 13mm conduit or cable
fittings accepting 6-12mm diameter cable.
- All
BP Solar modules are labelled with individual
performance figures
- Each
solar module is supplied with a grounding screw,
instruction sheet and warranty document
