Frequently Asked Questions - NUJC370 SHARP

What is the power output of the Sharp NUJC370 solar panel?

The Sharp NUJC370 solar panel has a rated power output of 370 watts under standard test conditions.

What technology does the NUJC370 use?

It uses half-cut PERC monocrystalline cells with 9 busbars, which reduce resistance losses and improve performance in shading conditions.

What are the dimensions and weight of the panel?

The panel measures 1765 x 1048 x 35 mm and weighs approximately 21.0 kg.

What is the warranty coverage?

Sharp offers a 10-year product guarantee and a 25-year linear power output guarantee, ensuring at least 84.2% of rated power after 25 years (0.45% annual degradation after the first year).

Is the panel suitable for high snow or wind loads?

Yes, it is tested for 5400 Pa snow load and has passed stringent wind and pressure tests, making it reliable in harsh climates.

How does half-cut technology help in partial shading?

Half-cut cells divide the panel into two halves. If one half is shaded, the other can still produce up to 50% of its power, unlike full-cell panels which may drop to zero.

What certifications does the NUJC370 have?

It is certified for PID resistance (IEC TS62804), salt mist (IEC 61701), ammonia resistance (IEC 62716), and sand/dust (IEC 60068).

Can the panel be used for residential or commercial installations?

Yes, it is suitable for both residential and commercial applications, with a system voltage of 1000 V and high efficiency.

What is the temperature coefficient of the panel?

The panel has a low temperature coefficient of -0.35%/°C for Pmax, ensuring good performance in high temperatures.

How often should the panels be maintained?

Routine cleaning with water and a soft sponge is recommended every 6 to 12 months to remove dust and debris, ensuring optimal energy production.

Highest-yielding half-cell PV panels

The main benefits of the half-cell modules for users are a 2-3% higher module performance and higher total yields. In a half-cell module, standard full cells are cut into two equal halves. In addition, the module is also divided into an upper and a lower half and the half-cells arranged thereon.

By dividing the cells, the power generated per cell is halved and resistance losses on cell and module level are reduced to one quarter. In addition, the halved current can significantly reduce the temperature in the cells and therefore reduce the risk of hot spot effects. The three small junction boxes, each fitted with only one bypass diode, are transferring less heat to the cells below as well. These factors also boost the longevity of the overall system and dividing the module in half will also have an impact on the overall performance. The path of the generated current is shortened by dividing the module, further reducing resistance losses. Mounting the module vertically will also prove beneficial in shading situations. For example, if the lower half of the module is shaded, users can still generate a 50% performance with the upper half, while the production of a full cell module completely breaks away. This could be the case with inter-row shading for free-field or tilt-mounted roof installations. With half-cell modules, therefore, higher wattage classes and higher yields per system can be achieved.

5% is more than 5W

SHARP is the only company with up to 5% more power than specified on the datasheet. The power tolerance of other companies is 0/5 W.

Engineered for low LCOE

Our monocrystalline PV modules are optimised to achieve low LCOE (Levelised Cost of Electricity) so that you can maximise your return on investment. Your choice of PV panel affects LCOE in three ways.

Bifacial Technology

The additional gain of bifacial modules is coming from irradiance received on the back of the module. This can be reflected direct sunlight, reflected diffuse sunlight or diffuse light that is not reflected. Instead of an opaque backsheet on the back of the PV panel the back of our bifacial panels has a glass layer that allows light to reach the back of the cells. This additionally generated energy is the main benefit of bifacial technology over monofacial technology.
