The basic characteristic of the system : Industrial grade modules made by well known German corporation, Siemens. Covered with 3mm highly transparent glass to deliver more power and ensures high impact resistance and protection against hail, snow, ice and storms. Siemens M110- Monocrystal, with frame, no lead, 1316x 660x 35, 12V, 110W. The module contains two parallel strings of 72 connected 103x103 mm mono- crystalline silicon solar cells. Siemens M110 solar module has been designed for 12V grid connected applications. The junction box provides a high quality, dust protected and splash proof housing. The housing contains a rigid connection block with cage clamps and by-pass diodes providing“hot spot” protection for the solar cells.
