SF175-S Solar Frontier

Solar Frontier’s SF175-S module series offers among the highest conversion efficiencies of any mass-produced thin-film module – up to 13.8%. Initial exposure to light can increase the power output further due to the “light soaking” effect of CIS modules. Together with high temperature tolerance and excellent low-light absorption, Solar Frontier’s CIS leads to a faster investment payback time and overall return on investment. In contrast, standard crystalline panels often produce lower output than specified due to real world conditions. All Solar Frontier modules are RoHS compliant and cadmium- and lead-free. Fewer production steps and raw materials also mean less energy was required to manufacture the module than crystalline modules of comparable output. SF150–175-S modules are shipped in virtually cardboard-free packaging and use recyclable corner pieces. Highlights Among the most efficient mass-production thin-film modules Generates more kilowatt-hours (energy) per kilowatt-peak under real conditions than crystalline silicon "Light soaking" effect boosts output after installation Over 1GW CIS modules delivered since 2007 Based on proprietary R&D since 1978 Cadmium- and lead-free PTC/STC rating over 90%
