Click on the image to view mechanical and electrical characteristics. This mono-crystalline 175 watt module features 16.2% encapsulated cell efficiency and 13.45% module efficiency. Using breakthrough technology perfected by Sharp's nearly 45 years of research and development, these modules use a textured cell surface to reduce reflection of sunlight, and BSF (Black Surface Field) structure to improve conversion efficiency. An anti reflective coating provides a uniform blue color and increase the absorption of light in all weather conditions. Common applications include office buildings, cabins, solar power stations solar villages, radio relay stations, beacons and traffic lights. Ideal for grid-connected systems and designed to withstand rigorous operating conditions, Sharp's NT-175U1 modules offer the maximum usable power per square foot of solar array.
