BP 485U
85 Watt 12V Monocrystalline Solar Panel
The BP 485 solar panel provides superior performance for residential, commercial and industrial use, operating DC loads directly or, in an inverter-equipped system, AC loads. Its 36 enhanced-efficiency monocrystalline silicon cells in series charge 12-volt batteries efficiently in virtually any climate. With 85 watts of nominal maximum power, it is well suited to utility grid-supplemental systems and traditional applications of photovoltaics such as telecommunications, remote villages and clinics, water pumping, and landbased aids to navigation. Modules use the universal frame, the strongest in the industry.
