Bifacial Photovoltaic Module

24.4 (620)24.4 (620)

Dimensions Unit: inches (mm)

HIT® Double 195

Power per Square Foot up to 19.1 Watts

Bifacial Effect

The back face of HIT Double solar panels generates electricity from ambient light reflected off surrounding surfaces, and combines with power from the front face of the panel. Dependant upon system design and site albedo, this results in up to 30% higher power generation (more kWh) per square foot.

Application Possibilities

• Architectural, Awnings, Balconies, Bus Shelters, BIPV

• Deck & Porch Coverings, Canopies, Carports, Facades

• Fences, Siding, Trellises, Tracking Systems

High Temperature Performance

As temperatures rise, HIT Double solar panels produce more electricity than conventional solar panels at the same temperature, for good performance in high temperature sites.

Quality Products

The packing density of the panels reduces transportation, fuel, and storage costs per installed watt.

American Made Quality

Our silicon wafers are made in Oregon, USA and assembled in Mexico at SANYO’s certified factory. ISO 9001(quality), 14001 (environment), 18001 (safety).

Note: Specifications and information above may change without notice.

To Maximize Power

1. Elevate panels above a surface as much as possible.

2. Place panels over light-colored surfaces.

3. Do not allow support rails to shade the panel’s back face.

10 Years Workmanship, 20 Years Power Output

IMPORTANT:

The rated power of HIT® Double bifacial solar panels is measured under Standard Test Conditions (STC). STC does not account for power produced from the back face of panels. Therefore, HIT Double panels will produce more power than their STC rating, up to 30% more, depending upon the system design and site albedo.Account for the additional power when sizing, selecting system components and wiring.

CAUTION! Please read the installation manual carefully before using the products.
