BP MSX 120

120-Watt MulticrystallinePhotovoltaic Module BP Solar’s MSX series is a premium line of PV modules with a 25-year performance warranty,tightly controlled electrical parameters, and labeling showing each module’s tested electrical characteristics. Providing 120 watts of nominal maximum power, the MSX 120 is used primarily in large battery-equipped PV systems or—through an inverter—to provide AC power directly toa load. Typical applications include grid-supplemental residential and commercial systems, telecommunications, remote villages and clinics, pumping, and land-based navigation aids. Its attractive bronze-anodized frame also suits it well for architectural applications.This product is available as a framed module or an unframed laminate, in 12V or 24V nominalconfigurations, with either: ? Dual high-volume junction boxes which allow on-site 12V/24V selection by rewiring (MSX 120); ? Installation-speeding DC-rated polarized connectors (MSX 120MC).

Proven Materials and Construction

BP Solar’s quarter-century of fieldexperience shows in every aspect of these module’s construction and materials:?72 multicrystalline silicon solarcells configured as one series string or two 36-cell series strings (bypass diodes are included);?Cells are laminated betweensheets of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and high-transmissivity low-iron 3mm tempered glass;?Frame strength exceeds require-ments of certifying agencies. MSX 120MC output is via heavy-duty(4mm

Individually Testedand Labeled

Each module tested and labeled withits actual output—voltage, current,and power at maximum power point(Pmax)—at Standard Test Conditionsand Standard Operating Conditions. MSX 120 laminates also qualify forthe above listings and certifications; MSX 120MC laminates are UL- recognized. MSX 120 modules and laminates with junction boxes are also certified by PowerMark Corporation and approved by FactoryMutual Research for application inNEC Class 1, Division 2, Groups C & D hazardous locations.

High-Capacity VersatileJunction Box

The junction boxes of the MSX 120are raintight (IP54 rated) and accept PG13.5 or 1/2" nominal conduit or cable fittings. Their volume (411cc, 25 cubic inches) and 6-terminal connection blocks enable most system array connections (putting modules in series or parallel) to be made right in the boxes. Options include:?an oversize terminal block whichaccepts conductors up to 25mm
