SOMERA VSMH.72.AAA.

05 | MONOCRYSTALLINE SOLAR PV MODULES | 144 CELLS | 360-385 WATT

SOMERA GRAND PLUS

SUPERIOR PRICE PERFORMANCE
of half-cell improves module output
without adding much to the cost
Bypass diodes and innovative series-
parallel connections enable the module
to perform better in PARTIAL SHADOW
CONDITIONS
Half-cell generates only half the current,
lowering heat production and LESS HOT
SPOT, increasing module longevity
Low resistance between the cells
REDUCES POWER LOSS, increases
up to 19.56% overall power output
EFFICIENCY
Three separate junction boxes reduce
360-385 W internal resistance and IMPROVE HEAT
RANGE
DISSIPATION
144 MONO PERC
SOLAR CELLS INCREASED SHADE TOLERANCE
HALF-CELL MODULE
Functions like two parallel
modules, enabling the
half-cell string to work in
partial shading
