Uni-Solar ‘Framed Solar Modules’
Freestanding PV framed modules 62W & 124W ratings
The Uni-Solar modules are exceptionally durable. They are encapsulated in UV-stabilized polymers and framed with anodized aluminium. The polymer encapsulation includes EVA and ETFE. A Galvalume® steel backing plate provides stiffness. Bypass diodes are connected across each cell, allowing the modules to produce power even when partially shaded. The ES-62 modules come standard with a Multi-Contact® connectors. The cable is a 2-conductor 12 AWG (22 in./ 560 mm) with insulation rated at 194°F/90°C. The Uni-Solar ES-62 & ES-124 modules are appropriate for all applications from simple single module requirements to larger grid-connected applications.
Uni-Solar framed modules are used with permanent module racks that can be adjusted for optimum tilt, wind resistance and exposure to sunlight. These glass-free, lightweight, vandal resistant modules can be utilized in a wide variety of applications from battery charging applications to grid connected systems. The framed modules are often used as building blocks in photovoltaic arrays, which can be assembled to meet virtually any load from less than 100 watts to multi-megawatts. All solar panels are rated in terms of peak power output (watts). Outdoors, under normally higher operating temperatures, solar panel performance changes, depending on temperature, solar spectrum (light color) and related effects. Uni-Solar products are less affected by temperature than monocrystalline or polycrystalline solar technology products. The result is up to 20% more delivered energy.
