Panasonic vbhn240sa11 datasheet

Water drainage frame

- Rain water is drained off the module
surface.

- This avoids not only water accumulation, but
also water stains after drying.

- Even in low-angle installations, water
drainage corners keep the module clean.

Power from both sides

- HIT® generates solar electricity
simultaneously on the front and on the back
side.

- This additional amount of light is combined
with the light taken up by the front side of
the module.

Light Capturing Technology

- Clean pyramid structures
on the cell surface helps
more light to be absorbed
by solar cells.

Cell technology

Our cell is made of a thin monocrystalline silicon wafer
surrounded by ultra-thin amorphous silicon layers. This product
offers the industry's leading performance and value, using
state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques. The development of

®

was supported in part by the New Energy and Industrial

the HIT
Technology Development Organization (NEDO).

Quality

Panasonic is truly committed to quality since it began developing
and manufacturing solar PV in 1975. Since pioneering,
developing and launching HIT
technology leader, and for decades many satisfied customers
have placed their trust in the competence in our unique HIT

®

in the 1990s, we have been the

.

Special features

The solar modules are 100% emission free, have no moving
parts and produce no noise. The dimensions of the modules
enable a space saving installation and the achievement of
maximum output power possible on a given roof area.

High performance at high temperatures

With its very low temperature coefficient of only -0.30%/°C, our
solar cell can maintain a higher efficiency than a conventional
crystalline silicon solar cell, even at high temperatures.
