SHARP - Monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic modules

Product features

  • High-performance photovoltaic modules made of monocrystalline (156.5 mm) 2 silicon solar cells with module efficiencies of up to 14.1%.
  • Bypass diodes which minimise the loss in output when shading occurs.
    Textured cell surface for particularly high electricity yields.
  • BSF structure (Back Surface Field) to optimise cell efficiency.
  • Use of tempered white glass, EVA plastic, and weather protection film, as well as an anodised aluminium frame with drainage holes for long-term use.
  • Output: connection cable with waterproof plug connector.

Quality from Sharp

Benchmarks are set by the quality standards of Sharp Solar. Continual checks guarantee a consistently high level of quality. Every module undergoes visual, mechanical, and electrical inspection. This is recognisable by means of the original Sharp label, the serial number, and the Sharp warranty:

  • 2 year product guarantee
  • 10 year performance guarantee for a power output of 90%
  • 20 year performance guarantee for a power output of 80%

The detailed guarantee conditions and additional information can be found at www.sharp.eu.

Innovations from a photovoltaic pioneer

As a solar specialist with 50 years' experience in photovoltaics (PV), Sharp makes significant contributions to groundbreaking progress in solar technology.

Sharp photovoltaic modules in the NU series are designed for applications with high power requirements. These quality monocrystalline modules produce a continuous, reliable yield, even under demanding operational conditions.

All Sharp NU series modules offer system integration which is optimal both technically and economically, and are suitable for installations in on and off-grid PV systems.
