Solar-max solar panel have high efficiency solar modules are constructed from 36 poly-crystalline, (12V modules) or 72 cells (24V modules) cells. The cells are individually tested and matched for optimum performance before being built into the protective module structure. A Tedlar base is used and ethylene vinyl acetate encapsulate. High transmission glass protects the cells from the front and a high strength polymer sheet at the rear. A reinforced aluminum frame completes the laminate structure which is fully sealed against moisture and protected from environmental and mechanical damage.
