Mitsubishi Solar

As a general manufacturer of electrical machinery and appliances, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation offers a legacy of innovation and achievement that goes all the way back to its founding in 1921.

Since 1976, when Japan launched its first commercial satellite, Mitsubishi has partici-pated in approximately 250 related projects around the world. One such project led to the development of a number of photovoltaic power generation systems that have proven to be extremely reliable, even in the harsh conditions of outer space.

PV-Series Modules

Mitsubishi has applied leading-edge technologies from its space-related applications to terrestrial systems to create high-performance photovoltaic power-generation systems for an astonishing range of applications. Mitsubishi Electric successfully produced the first cells in Japan that do not require solder coatings. This was a milestone in the develop- ment of environmentally friendly composite materials and manufacturing processes for the silver electrodes used on the surfaces of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells. Their PV modules are now made using lead-free solder, completely eliminating lead from the manufacturing process.

The 175-watt and larger modules are designed for use in high-voltage grid-tie applications, but can be used in large industrial and off-grid applications for battery charging if the system includes an appropriate MPPT charge controller such as the OutBack MX-60,
Apollo T80 or BlueSky Solar Boost.

These modules use 50 square poly-crystalline 156mm cells in series behind tempered glass with anodized aluminum frames, and  Multi-Contact locking connector output cables. Positive and negative cables come from junction boxes at opposite ends of the module.

The 125-watt modules have Multi-Contact locking connector output cables and are optimized for 12-volt battery charging with 36 cells in series.

The 120-watt module has 36 cells, a clear-anodized frame and a conduit-ready junction box.
