Monocrystalline cells are more efficient than polycrystalline, making them a good choice for homeowners with limited space on the roof. The new modules have an efficiency of up to 18.3 percent (300 W), allowing homeowners to generate more solar energy from their roofs than before. The modules are also suitable for use in cold regions subject to snow, with the robust design able to handle a snow load of up to 5,400 Pascal (according to IEC61215).
The modules are manufactured in Germany according to the highest international quality (ISO 9001) and environmental (ISO 14001) standards and are certified by the VDE Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies, one of the largest technical and scientific associations in Europe.
The all-black mono 300W PV module from Sharp is available from September 2016, and all other modules are available now to purchase across Europe.
