Sharp 80 Watt 12 Volt Multi crystal Silicon Solar Module

 

Sharp's NE-80EJE photovoltaic modules offer industry-leading performance, durability, and reliability for a variety of electrical power requirements. Using breakthrough technology perfected by Sharp's nearly 45 years of research and development, these modules use a textured cell surface to reduce reflection of sunlight, and BSF (Black Surface Field) structure to improve conversion efficiency. An anti-reflective coating provides a uniform blue color and increases the absorption of light in all weather conditions. Common applications include RVs, cabins, solar power stations, pumps, beacons, and lighting equipment. Designed to withstand rigorous weather conditions, a junction box is also provided for easy electrical connections in the field, making Sharp's NE 80EJE modules the perfect combination of advanced technology and reliability.
