The BP 380J is part of the BP Solar Poly 3-Series. It is an advanced 80W
photovoltaic module with 12V nominal power output, making it ideal for battery
charging applications. It addresses the needs of various battery based applications,
such as caravan, boats, homes that do not have access to the utility grid and
rural electrication. Other appliances are in remote industrial applications such
as telemetry, security sensors and instrumentation systems. The 36 cells are
connected in series and offer improved efficiency even under low light conditions
through the use of advanced SiN coating. It has proven performance at high
temperatures and its robust design makes the product durable in the field in
almost any climate. This module has undergone the most rigorous testing to
ensure reliable long term performance. The junction box is prepared with screw
type terminals for flexible installation. There are two precasted holes for each size
of cable glands, as ½’’ and M20.
