Sharp launches 540 W bifacial solar module

• Sharp's new IEC 61215 and also IEC 61730-certified-certified panel attributes 144 half-cells based on M10 wafers and a 10-busbar style. Its operating temperature level coefficient is -0.349% per degree Celsius and its power tolerance rises to 5%.

Japanese electronic devices supplier Sharp has actually revealed the NB-JD540 photovoltaic panel, a bifacial double-glass monocrystalline PERC item with a 20.9% effectiveness rating as well as 540 W of power outcome.

The IEC 61215- as well as IEC 61730-certified panel features 144 half-cells based upon M10 wafers and also a 10-busbar design. It has general dimensions of 2,278 mm × 1,134 mm × 3.0 mm and also weighs in at 32.5 kg, with the front as well as back glass layers determining 2 mm thick.

The panel can be used in PV systems with a maximum voltage of 1,500 V as well as an operating temperature in between -40 C and 85 C. It features a 30-year direct power result guarantee and a 15-year product guarantee. The operating temperature coefficient is -0.349% per degree Celsius as well as its power tolerance reaches up to 5%, the manufacturer claims.

" Like all Sharp half-cell modules, the NB-JD540 has three tiny junction boxes rather than just one, each fitted with one bypass diode," the manufacturer claimed in a declaration. "These junction boxes are transferring less warmth to the cells over and consequently boost the longevity of the panels and the total performance of the system."

The new product is allegedly immune under severe problems, as it has passed tests for ammonia, salt mist, sand and also possibility caused degradation (PID) resistance.
