20W Photovoltaic module
420J
Our latest generation of small area modules offers
the following benefits:
Built to last
From mountaintops to off-shore platforms, on
weather stations in the bitter cold of Antarctica and
on telephone signal repeaters in the hot Australian
outback, the technology has been proven in the
harshest environments.
Accessible junction box for off grid connections
J-type junction box has accessible
terminals for easier module
interconnections in off grid
applications, and it allows fitting
cable glands for various cable sections.
Improved reliability with effective cooling
Cell interconnections and diode
placement use well-established
industry practice and are field-proven
to provide excellent reliability.
Thick, durable, scratch resistant back sheet
The thick back sheet provides extra
insulation and increased resistance to
protect your module against rough
Module appearance may vary.
Cells have rounded corners with
handling. The white polyester material
either 165 or 150mm diameter.
lasts longer and increases energy production.

All solar modules are individually tested prior to shipment; an allowance is made within our factory measurement to account for
the typical power degradation (LILD effect) which occurs during the first few days of deployment.
