Mitsubishi High Power Polycrystalline Si Solar Cell Modules
MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC announces High Power Type Lead-free Solder
Photovoltaic Solar Cell Modules for Overseas Market
Tokyo, September 01, 2006
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (President and CEO: Setsuhiro Shimomura) announced today it will introduce high output lead-free solder photovoltaic (PV) modules for the overseas market on October 1, 2006. Using larger size solar cells, the six new models will be capable of high output, with one model the first capable of a maximum output of 185W. The modules will be displayed at the 21st European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition in Dresden, Germany, starting September 4.
Polycrystalline Si Solar cell Modules
PV-MF 185TD4 / 185 W /24.4V – 7.58A /efficiency 13.4%
PV-MF 180TD4 / 180 W /24.2V – 7.45A /efficiency 13.0%
PV-MF 175TD4 / 175 W /23.9V – 7.32A /efficiency 12.7%
PV-MF 130TE4N / 130 W /17.4V – 7.47A /efficiency 12.9%
PV-MF 125TE4N / 125 W /17.3V – 7.23A /efficiency 12.4%
PV-MF 120TE4N / 120 W /17.2V – 6.99A /efficiency 11.9%
By increasing the size of our high conversion efficiency photovoltaic cells from 150 mm to 156 mm we were able to increase maximum module output 9% compared to previous model PV-MF170EB4. These modules make it possible to configure a large-scale system with fewer modules, thus using less module rack support material and contributing to total system cost reduction. We were further able to improve module output by increasing the distance between cells, and placing a back film in these spaces that reflects light back onto the cells.
