Product catalog summary

Overview: This document outlines the specifications and features of Suntech's monocrystalline solar modules, specifically models STP240S, STP245S, STP250S, STP255S, and STP260S. These modules are engineered for high efficiency and durability, suitable for diverse environmental conditions.

Specifications: The solar modules offer a power output range from 240W to 260W, with efficiencies between 14.8% and 16.0%. They are constructed with monocrystalline silicon cells, each measuring 156 x 156 mm, and consist of 60 cells per module. The modules are designed to endure extreme wind (3800 Pascal) and snow loads (5400 Pascal).

Performance: These modules perform excellently under low light conditions, maintaining at least 95.5% of the standard test conditions (STC) efficiency at low irradiation levels. They have a positive power tolerance of 0/+5%, ensuring higher reliability and output.

Durability and Design: Suntech's modules feature a compact and robust frame design, making them lightweight and easy to handle. The IP67 rated junction box supports multiple installation orientations, ensuring high performance and low resistance.

Warranty and Certifications: Suntech provides a leading linear warranty, guaranteeing 97% power output in the first year, with a maximum decrease of 0.7% per year, ending at 80.2% in the 25th year. The modules are certified under IEC 61215, IEC 61730, and conform to CE standards. They are tested for harsh environments, including salt mist, ammonia corrosion, and sand blowing.

Electrical Characteristics: The modules operate at a maximum system voltage of 1000 V DC, with a nominal operating cell temperature (NOCT) of 45±2°C. The temperature coefficients for power, voltage, and current are -0.44 %/°C, -0.34 %/°C, and 0.060 %/°C, respectively.

Mechanical Characteristics: The modules measure 1640 x 992 x 35 mm and weigh 18.2 kg. They are constructed with 3.2 mm tempered glass and an anodized aluminum alloy frame.

Additional Specifications: The document also details models STP260S-20/Wd and STP255S-20/Wd, with a maximum series fuse rating of 20 A and a power tolerance of 0/+5%. Under Standard Test Conditions (STC), the power measurement uncertainty is within +/- 3% using a Best in Class AAA solar simulator.

Electrical Characteristics at NOCT: Maximum Power (Pmax) is 190 W for STP260S-20/Wd and 186 W for STP255S-20/Wd. Optimum Operating Voltage (Vmp) is 28.1 V and 28.0 V, respectively. Optimum Operating Current (Imp) is 6.75 A and 6.66 A, respectively. Open Circuit Voltage (Voc) is 34.7 V and 34.6 V, and Short Circuit Current (Isc) is 7.16 A and 7.07 A.

Mechanical Characteristics: The panels are made of monocrystalline silicon cells measuring 156 × 156 mm, arranged in a 6 × 10 configuration. The dimensions are 1640 × 992 × 35 mm, and the weight is 18.2 kg. The front glass is 3.2 mm tempered glass, and the frame is made of anodized aluminum alloy. The junction box is IP67 rated with 3 bypass diodes, and the output cables are TUV certified with MC4 connectors.

Packing Configuration: Panels are packed with 30 pieces per pallet. A 20’ GP container holds 6 pallets (180 pieces), while a 40’ HC container holds 28 pallets (840 pieces).

Temperature Characteristics: Nominal Operating Cell Temperature (NOCT) is 45±2°C. Temperature Coefficient of Pmax is -0.44 %/°C, Voc is -0.34 %/°C, and Isc is 0.060 %/°C.

Graphical Data: The document includes a graph showing the relationship between current, power, and voltage under varying irradiance levels (1000 W/m² to 200 W/m²).

Installation and Operation: Installation instructions are available separately. All values are subject to change without prior notice, and specifications comply with standard EN 50380. Color differences and discolorations that do not affect functionality are possible.
