MULTI-PURPOSE MODULE

208 WATT

NEXT GENERATION. BREAKTHROUGH PERFORMANCE.

POLY-CRYSTALLINE SILICON PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE
WITH 208W MAXIMUM POWER

This poly-crystalline 208 watt module features 12.8% module efficiency

for an outstanding balance of size and weight to power and performance.

Using breakthrough technology perfected by Sharp’s 45 years of research

ND-208U1

and development, these modules incorporate an advanced surface

texturing process to increase light absorption and improve efficiency.

Common applications include office buildings,cabins, solar power stations,

solar villages, radio relay stations, beacons, traffic lights and security systems.

Ideal for grid-connected systems and designed to withstand rigorous

operating conditions, Sharp’s ND-208U1 modules offer maximum power

output per square foot of solar array.
