MULTI-PURPOSE MODULE

NT-185U1

185 WATT BIG POWER, REVOLUTIONARY DESIGN. SINGLE CRYSTAL SILICON PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE WITH 185W MAXIMUM POWER This single crystal 185 watt module features 17.5% encapsulated cell efficiency and 14.2% module efficiency - the highest efficiency commercially available. 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 office buildings, cabins, solar power stations, solar villages, radio relay stations, beacons, and traffic lights. Ideal for grid-connected systems and designed to withstand rigorous operating conditions, Sharp's NT-185U1 modules offer the maximum usable power per square foot of solar array.

Solder-coated grid results in high fill factor performance under low light conditions. Sharp multi-purpose modules offer industry leading performance for a variety of applications.
