Product Description

The SX-170B ("B" for bronze frame) solar panel is designed to provide superior value and performance for residential, commercial and industrial use. With time-tested multicrystalline silicon solar cells, it provides cost-effective power for DC loads or, with an inverter, AC loads. With 72 enhanced-efficiency cells in series, it charges 24V batteries (or multiples of 24V) efficiently in virtually any climate. At 160 watts of nominal maximum power, the SX-170 is used in utility grid-supplemental systems for residences, commercial buildings, and centralized power generation and in remote systems for applications including telecommunication, pumping and irrigation, cathodic protection, remote villages and homes, and land-based navigation aids.

BP Solar's quarter-century of field experience shows in every aspect of this module's construction and materials: 72 multicrystalline silicon solar cells in series, efficiency enhanced by improved cell coating; Cells are laminated between sheets of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and high-transmissivity low-iron 3mm tempered glass; Frame strength exceeds requirements of certifying agencies.

The SX-170B features installation-speeding quick-connectors and an attractive bronze-anodized frame. These asymmetrical RHW cables enable side-by-side or end-to-end module placement in arrays.
