Rated power: 32 W, 10.3 W or 5 W
Triple Junction Thin Film Silicon Solar Cells
Encapsulated in polymers
Bypass Diodes For Shadow Tolerance (not for FLX-5)
Blocking Diodes in the Junction Box for Battery Protection
Rugged and Flexible
Weather Resistant
Three Year (Limited ) Warranty
CE-compatible, JRC-Ispra and UL certified
The modules are exceptionally durable:
They are incapsulated
in UV stabilised polymers and bonded and stitched to a cushioned
backing material (consisting of vinyl and foam). The polymer
encapsulation includes EVA and the fluoro-polymer TEFZELâ,
a DuPont film.
Bypass diodes are connected across each cell, allowing the
modules (excluding USF-5) to produce power even when partially
shaded. Blocking diodes are included within each potted junction
box. Such blocking diode prevents battery discharge into the
module.
Each panel has 2,45 m of tinned wire with a 2-pin SAE-connector
and is packaged with a 0,6 m fused battery cable.
Applications
Battery charging or keeping the battery under voltage
(battery

Output power
During initial 8-10 weeks of operation,
the module has higher electrical output
than rated output. The output power may
be higher by 15 %, the operating voltage
may be higher by 11 % and the operating
current may be higher by 4 %. In some
applications, this initial power bonus must
be considered when sizing power system
components such as wiring, inverters and
switch gear.
Electrical specifications (+/- 10 %) are based
on measurements performed at Standard
Test Conditions (STC) of 1000 W/m2
irradiance, Air Mass 1.5 and Cell temperature
of 25°C after long-term stabilisation.
Performance may vary up to 10 % from rated
power due to low temperature operation,
spectral and related effects. Blocking diode
loss (~ 0.4 V) is not included in the ratings.
