Sphere 100W Twin Cell Solar Panel — Shade Tolerant, Black Frame
Shade-tolerant twin cell solar panel — keeps charging even when partly shaded by aircon or vents
Why this product?
Partial shading from rooftop aircons, vents and antennas kills conventional solar panel output. Sphere's twin cell technology splits the panel into two independent circuits — when one half is shaded, the other keeps producing full power.
- Twin Cell Technology — shade on one half doesn't kill the other
- Improved cell efficiency in a smaller footprint
- By-passed diodes for extra reliability
- Anodised aluminium frame — rust resistant
- IP65 rated junction box
- Anti-reflective tempered glass
- Pre-drilled mounting holes
About this product
Sphere Twin Cell Solar Technology is the future of solar power generation for the Caravanning and RV Market.
Product Description
Researched and developed in Australia, Sphere Twin Cell Technology is an innovative solution to the common issue of partial shading that affects caravan and RV solar power applications. Partial shading caused by roof top mounted accessories such as air conditioners, roof vents and satellites can result in severe bottlenecks for conventional solar panels. When even a small section of a traditional panel is covered by shade, a blockage is created that drastically reduces overall output.
Sphere Twin Cell Technology helps reduce the impact of partial shading by allowing a single large solar panel to operate as if it were two smaller panels with isolated circuit paths. This unique parallel design allows each side of the panel to function independently from the other. When one half of a panel is covered by shade, the other will still perform at full capacity. Where partial shading will have already stopped traditional mono-crystalline panels from providing vital power, Sphere Solar Panels with Twin Cell Technology will keep on charging.
Sphere Twin Cell 100W and 130W panels feature improved cell efficiency, enabling enhanced performance while occupying a smaller footprint. This advancement not only optimises power generation but also provides more versatile mounting options for installations in various configurations. The panels are complemented by by-passed diodes, which enhance reliability and further mitigate power drops caused by shade.
Features
- Sphere Twin Cell Solar Technology for improved performance in partial shade.
- Improved cell efficiency in a smaller footprint for more versatile mounting options.
- By-passed diodes to improve reliability and further minimize power drops caused by shade.
- An anodized aluminium frame to withstand rust with pre drilled mounting holes for a versatile range of applications.
- Antireflective, high transparency tempered glass for durability
- IP65 rated junction box provides complete protection against dust and water.
Why this beats the alternatives
Standard mono-crystalline panels lose a disproportionate amount of output when even slightly shaded. Sphere's parallel twin cell design means you keep harvesting solar even on imperfect days — critical for NZ's variable weather.
Who it's for
Caravanners and RV owners with rooftop accessories that cast shade on their panels, who are tired of losing power output on anything less than a perfect sunny day.
