The PWX500 module uses Photowatt’s multicrystalline technology. The solar Maximum pallet weight Kg 650
cells are individually characterized and electronically matched prior to
interconnection. Encapsulation beneath high transmission tempered glass is PWX500 12 V Configuration
accomplished using an advanced, UV resistant thermal setting plastic. The
encapsulant, ethylene vinyl acetate, cushions the solar cells within the Typical power W 45 50 55
laminate and protects the cells from etching. The PWX500 benefits from Minimum power W 40,1 45,1 50,1
