Mitsubishi Electric Develops High-Output Solar Panels
Sep 11, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) --
Mitsubishi Electric announced the launch of ten new models of photovoltaic (PV) modules - five for the European market and five for North America and Asia.
The new lineup comprises modules with outputs of 210, 220, 225, 230 and 235 watts. Shipments will begin on January 15, 2010.
Mitsubishi said the new modules use lead-free solder and incorporate PV cells with four bus bars. Using the new cells in combination with an increased module size achieves a power output of up to 235 watts per module. Larger output means that fewer modules are needed to build a system, helping to reduce total system cost.
The new models will be on display at the 24th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition starting September 21, in Hamburg, Germany, and also at Solar Power International 2009 on October 27, in Anaheim, California.
