With a bifaciality of up to 80 per cent and an efficiency of 22.26 per cent, the new module has higher output, efficiency and improved low-light behaviour. This means that the panel continues to produce energy even in sub-optimal lighting conditions.

The NB-JD575 also comes with a low temperature coefficient of -0.30 per cent per degree Celsius to ensure high output even at elevated ambient temperatures. This factor is becoming increasingly important against the backdrop of advancing climate change and the associated rise in temperatures. Sharp Energy Solutions Europe also say that the module is LID-resistant, which reduces the potential energy loss over its entire service life.
Rigorous testing for better longevity
The dimensions of the NB-JD575 are 2278 x 1134 millimetres, with a 30 millimetre aluminium frame. The front and rear glass layers are two millimetres thick and the total weight of the module is 32.5 kilograms. The module is suitable for a range of application scenarios, including C&I and ground-mounted installations.

The module has undergone rigorous testing against ammonia, salt spray, sand and PID to ensure compliance with international standards and resistance under extreme conditions. It has a 30-year linear warranty on the rated output and a 15-year product warranty if the modules are installed in ground-mounted systems and 25 years if they are installed in roof-mounted systems.
