Sharp NE-165U1 User Manual

Solder-coated grid results in high fill factor

performance under low light conditions.

Sharp multi-purpose modules offer

industry-leading performance for

a variety of applications.

165 WATT

MULTI-CRYSTAL SILICON PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE
WITH 165W MAXIMUM POWER

Sharp’s NE-165U1 photovoltaic modules offer high-powered performance

and industry-leading durability for large electrical power requirements.

Using advanced technology perfected by Sharp’s nearly 45 years of

research and development, these modules use a textured cell surface

to reduce reflection of sunlight, and BSF (Black Surface Field) structure

to improve conversion efficiency. An anti-reflective coating provides a

uniform blue color and increases the absorption of light in all weather

conditions. Common applications include office buildings, cabins,solar

power stations, solar villages, radio relay stations, beacons,and traffic lights.

Ideal for grid-connected systems and designed to withstand rigorous

operating conditions, Sharp’s NE-165U1 modules are a breakthrough in

technology and reliability.
