Thishigh quality 540W solar panelfrom leading solar panel manufacturerSharp, which has over 60 years of experience with solar technology and over 50 million solar panels installed all over the world.
ThisMCS certifiedpanel is perfect for a wide variety of applications, from grid-tie household systems to off-grid installations where mains power is limited or unavailable such as boats, caravans, campervans, cabins or glamping huts. These high-power panels are ideal for large systems where the time and expense of fitting a high wattage array needs to be minimised.
High efficiency solar cellsuse PERC technology with 10 busbars to extract more power from a smaller surface area, increasing the output of the panel without increasing the size.Half-cut cell constructiondecreases internal losses, reduces risk of hotspots and improves performance in shaded conditions.
The robust design of the panel is IP68 (waterproof) rated, and tested for resistance against PID, salt mist, ammonia, heavy snow, dust and sand. This thorough testing ensures a long service life even inharsh marine or wilderness conditions. A pair ofmale / female MC4 connectorsare crimped on the end of the cable for easy waterproof connection to other solar panels, extension leads or your existing system.
With a 15-year workmanship guarantee and 25-year output guarantee, you can be confident in the quality, durability and longevity of this premium solar panel.
