BP Solar High Performance Monocrystalline '4 Series'
These advanced modules use latest high efficiency Monocrystalline antireflective coated cells for maximising energy generation from a limited area. They give excellent performance in low light, overcast conditions and high temperatures and are perfect for grid feeding applications.
Three bypass diodes mounted in the IntegraBus™ circuit board and laminated in the module provide effective protection of the cells from overheating when they are shaded and ensure long term reliability. Outstanding efficiency, high power modules designed for maximum reliability and premium power performance. Extremely water resistant, abrasion, hail impact as well as other environmental factors. These are proven products with extensive field experience. Ideal for all types of solar systems. Applications include grid-connected building facades and roof systems, especially arrays requiring high energy density.
Using 72 cells connected in series and their primary use is with inverters in large grid connected arrays.
They have a -3%/+5% power tolerance and average power that is higher than nominal power.
Power Tolerance: +5%, -3%
Warranty:
5 years materials & workmanship.
12 years to 93% power.
25 years to 85% power.
Benefits of Solar PV installation
Solar photovoltaic panels offers both enviromental and economic benefits.
Solar PV installation can reduce your electricity bills massively. By generating solar electricity, you can power your home, reducing the amount of power you would usually purchase from a supplier. This is an important factor, as utility bills are expected to increase by up to 60% every year for the next decade.
The feed in tariff that was introduced in April 2010, means you will be able to sell any surplus solar electricity you generate to the utilities companies at a price higher than market rate. This is due to the fact that electricity from non-renewable sources is cheaper to generate than that from renewable sources. The feed in tariff will set a minimum price per unit.
GREEN & FREE - Solar PV generates electricity that is clean!
Using the sun's power can also reduce the amount of Greenhouse Gases emitted through electricity generation.
Up to 41.3p per kWh generated; an extra 3p per kWh for any surplus exported to grid and save on bills This means that if you are generating solar electricity you don't use,, you can simply sell it back to the grid. The company you sell to will then either pay you, or you can use it as credit if ever you need to top up your solar power with traditional electricity.
Solar PV installation can add around 10% to the value of your house, by making your more energy efficient and cheaper to run.
