Monocrystalline 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 NU series
are designed for appli­cations with high power
requirements. These
quality monocrystalline
modules produce a con­tinuous, reliable yield,
even under demanding operational
conditions.

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

Product features

■ High-performance photovoltaic modules made of dark blue

mono crystalline (156.5 mm)2 silicon solar cells with module
efficiencies of up to 14.9 %.

■ Anti-reflex coating to increase light absorption

(for NU-E245J5 and NU-E240J5).

■ Bypass diodes which minimise the loss in output when shading

occurs.

■ Textured cell surface for particularly high electricity yields.

■ BSF structure (Back Surface Field) to optimise cell efficiency.

■ Use of tempered white glass, EVA plastic, and weather protection

film, as well as a silver anodised aluminium frame with drainage
holes for long-term use.

■ Output: connection cable with waterproof plug connector.

Quality from Sharp

Benchmarks are set by the quality standards of Sharp Solar.

Con tinual checks guarantee a consistently high level of quality.
Every module undergoes visual, mechanical, and electrical
inspection. This is recognisable by means of the original Sharp
label, the serial number, and the Sharp guarantee:
