Description:
The smallest of BP Solar's SX module series, the photovoltaic module BP Solar SX10U operates DC loads with small to moderate energy requirements. With 36 multicrystalline cells in series, they generate nominal maximum power of 10 watts respectively, efficiently charging 12 V batteries in virtually any climate. Best Performance definite by BP Solar's quality design and workmanship. The BP Solar SX 10U solar module has a clear universal frame and robust junction box.
