Sharp Solar Panels

Solar Panel Sharp produces both single and multicrystalline solar cells.  Sharp solar panels 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.  Sharp modules are manufactured to ISO 9001 quality standards, are UL listed, and come with a 25 year manufacturers' warranty.

Note: The larger Sharp solar modules (165W and 175W) are sold only in boxes of two. Please enter 2,4, 6 etc. as appropriate in the quantity field of the shopping basket order form. The 80W and 123W modules now come one to a box and can be ordered individually.
    Module Features Include:
  • Bypass diodes to minimize the power drop caused by shade.
  • Textured cell surface to reduce the reflection of sunlight.
  • BSF (Back Surface Field) structure to improve cell conversion efficiency.
  • White tempered glass, EVA resin and a weather resistant film, plus aluminum frame provide a reliable and durable package.
  • Output terminal: Lead wire with waterproof multicontact connector
  • CUL and UL1703 certified and ISO 9001 quality manufacturing.

What happened to Sharp's 185 Watt module? Here is a letter from Sharp:

Friday, February 04, 2005

To our valued customers:

In an effort to better serve the market in the immediate future with higher volumes of the industry’s best solar modules, Sharp is indefinately suspending production of the 185 watt (NT-185U1) solar module, effective immediately. We are making this strategic shift as a direct result of our effort to gain a greater yield of
high-efficiency photovoltaic cells from our wafer manufacturing process. Sharp is maximizing the volume of cells from each silicon ingot in order to provide a greater volume of overall watts and solar panels. Our cells and modules will still be held to the highest quality control standards that the industry expects from Sharp products. Sharp is committed to supplying our North American market with the highest quality photovoltaic products, at the highest volumes possible. We are continuing to grow at a rate faster and more aggresively than any of our competitors, and will strive to maintain this growth as the market demands.
Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,
Matt Lugar
Associate Director of Sales
Sharp Electronics Corporation – Solar Systems Division
