Polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic modules

Say yes to solar power!

Because it protects the climate.

Innovations from a photovoltaic pioneer

As a solar specialist

with 50 years' experience in photovoltaics (PV), Sharp makes significant contributions to groundbreaking progress in solar technology.

Sharp photovoltaic modules in the ND series are designed for applications with high power requirements. These quality polycrystalline modules produce a continuous, reliable yield, even under demanding operational conditions.

All Sharp ND series modules offer system integration which is optimal both technically and economically, and are suitable for installations in on and off-grid PV systems.
