BP Solar 175B, Solar Panel 175 Watt, 24 Volt

Detailed Description:

Solar electric modules convert the sun's energy into direct current (DC) electricity. BP Solar Home Solutions® systems use high performance monocrystalline or multicrystalline modules, also called solar panels.

BP Solar modules can be securely mounted to almost any kind of roof – flat or sloped – with just about any type of roofing material, including slate, metal, Spanish tile, asphalt and shake shingles.



High-efficiency photovoltaic module using silicon nitride multicrystalline silicon cells.
