BP 3 & 4 series Solar Modules
BP Solar Design 
BP Solar is a pioneer in multicrystalline technology. They use two types of crystalline technology in crafting market specific modules;
Multicrystalline - suited for residential and commercial applications both on-grid and remote, our sparkling deep blue line of high performance modules provides superior value. All modules feature advanced silicon nitride multicrystalline cell technology.
Monocrystalline - superior energy performance and efficiency comes from BP Solar's premium monocrystalline product line, which features our advanced silicon nitride monocrystalline cell technology. When it is essential to maximize power per square metre or if you are looking for a black module to integrate into an architectural look, the premium monocrystalline products are the modules to choose.
BP Solar Modules
BP Solar PV modules are solar cells (made from wafers of silicon crystals) laminated between impact resistant high transmission glass and EVA sealant. They are then built into rigid lightweight anodised aluminium framing to give a mountable structure. Some modules are also available as laminate only versions. Electrical connection is via weathertight junction boxes bonded directly to the laminate.
BP Solar’s modules use new enhanced cell coatings and manufacturing processes to improve power by 5% or more over standard modules to give increased reliability and performance. They have tight power tolerances and some of the best warranties in the industry - meaning more power for a longer period of time.
High power, high efficiency modules result in greater production of kilowatt hours per kilowatt peak installed, ie. maximum energy from minimum possible roof space.
Warranty: Modules are guaranteed to produce not less than the given percentage of minimum rated power at standard test conditions over listed period.
These industrial quality high performance modules are designed for reliability and minimum maintenance over at least 30 years. Recommended in situations where high outputs are required and ideal for use in larger system arrays. These are the standard 'building blocks' for all solar systems. They can be used to directly power DC loads or are used with charge controllers (to prevent battery overcharging) in battery storage systems or connected in series as the input for inverters for grid connected systems.
BP Solar High Performance(Polycrystalline - 3 Series)
This series of modules provide superior value and performance for general use, operating DC loads directly, battery charging systems or with an inverter, AC systems.
They use time-tested multicrystalline silicon cells with an enhanced efficiency by the addition of improved silicon nitride (SiN) coatings. They are high power modules designed for maximum reliability.
Highly resistant to water, abrasion, hail impact and other environmental factors they are suitable for use in virtually any climate. Ideal for all types of solar systems from small battery charging systems up to large grid-connected arrays.
The BP380 uses 36 cells in series to charge 12 volt batteries and are the ideal building blocks for off-grid systems.
The BP3160N and BP3170N modules use 72 cells connected in series to give a nominal 24V output so their primary use is with inverters in large grid connected arrays.

BP Solar High Performance (175Wp & 180Wp Monocrystalline - 4 series)
BP Solar has been manufacturing solar wafers, cells and modules for more than 35 years. This experience shows that the best way to optimize module life and electrical energy production is to attend to every detail in the design and manufacture of our products, our process controls and testing methods. BP Solar’s latest generation of 72 cell, Monocrystalline T Series solar modules offers the following benefits:
Positive measured power, more energy production
All modules are factory tested and classified such that measured power is greater than nominal to take into account the LID effect. This means extra kWh produced in the field.
Improved reliability with effective cooling IntegraBus™ technology ensures reliable cable management while positioning the bypass diodes and junction box away from the cells ensuring cooler operation and greater energy production.
Long lasting, innovative frame design
The aluminum frame has a rounded profile for better handling comfort and is optimized for use with anti-theft bolts to increase security. It can withstand heavy snow loads (5400Pa - 540kg/m2) even in end mounting.Increased energy productionHigh transmission ARC glass and enhanced design push the laminate to the front, maximizing the energy production and reducing dirt accumulation and soiling losses.
