SunPower offers various models of solar panels including the 230 white solar panel. This solar panel comprises 72 back contact solar cells that are manufactured using the monocrystalline cell technology. With enhanced panel design and back contact cells, this photovoltaic panel avoids strong reflection that occurs from metal contacts. This monocrystalline panel has an efficiency rate of 18.5 per cent, with peak power of 230 watts.
230 White Monocrystalline Solar Panels
The 230 white solar panel features anodized aluminum alloy frame and 3.2mm front glass that is tempered. This PV solar panel can perform effectively even in low sunlight conditions. The junction box of the solar panel is an IP-65 rated product and is fitted with three bypass diodes. This photovoltaic solar module, offered by SunPower, is available with an output cable in 900 mm length, along with multi contact connectors. The 230 monocrystalline solar panel can withstand a maximum mechanical load of 2400 Pascals both at the front and back. The temperature range in which this PV panel can operate is -40 to +185 degree Fahrenheit.
The 230 white solar panel has the ability to resist 25mm sized hailstones falling at a speed of 52 miles per hour. The rated voltage and current of this monocrystalline panel are 41.0 volts and 5.61 amperes, respectively. The short circuit current of this PV solar panel is 5.99 amperes, while the open circuit voltage is 48.7 volts. The dimensions of this photovoltaic panel are 1559 x 798 x 46mm with a weight of 15kg.
