Multi-Crystalline

Product Overview

The Photon Energy Systems PM0160 160W polycrystalline solar panel is designed for reliable power in demanding environments. This compact 36 cell module suits residential rooftops, small commercial arrays, rural microgrids, and off grid systems. Its 160 watt peak output and 15.9 percent efficiency help maximize generation on limited roof space. A rugged anodized aluminium frame and 3.2 millimetre tempered low iron glass protect the cells in harsh outdoor conditions. Engineers and installers can use this panel within 145 to 160 watt arrays to fine tune system sizes easily. The module integrates EVA encapsulation and a durable PET backsheet for long term field performance. A 10 year product warranty and 25 year power warranty support dependable lifetime energy yield. Manufactured in India by Photon Energy Systems Limited, the panel comes from an experienced solar manufacturer with extensive grid connected installations. This combination of performance, durability, and bankable warranties makes the PM0160 a strong choice for dependable solar projects.

Key Benefits

Reliable 160W output: The PM0160 delivers up to 160 watt peak power at standard test conditions, supporting dependable system sizing for homes, farms, and small businesses.

High conversion efficiency: Module efficiency reaches 15.9 percent, so more solar energy is converted to electricity on a compact 0.98 square metre footprint.

Durable construction: Tempered low iron textured glass, EVA encapsulation, PET backsheet, and an anodized aluminium frame provide excellent weather resistance and mechanical strength.

Long term performance: With a total degradation rate of about 0.8 percent per year, the panel is warrantied to deliver 90 percent power at 10 years and 80 percent at 25 years.

Easy electrical integration: A 1000 volt system rating, 15 amp series fuse rating, and Radox connectors with 1 metre leads simplify safe integration with modern inverters and string designs.

Lightweight and installer friendly: The 12 kilogram weight and compact 1490 by 655 millimetre size allow easier handling on rooftops and faster installation on various mounting structures.

How It Works

When the Photon Energy Systems PM0160 panel is exposed to sunlight, its multi crystalline silicon cells convert light into direct current power. Each of the 36 cells generates a small voltage and current that combine to deliver useful output at the module terminals. The panel operates around 18.6 volts at maximum power and approximately 8.6 amps under standard test conditions. An inverter then converts the direct current into grid compatible alternating current for household or commercial loads. By connecting multiple modules in series and parallel strings, systems can be built to match many different energy needs. The robust encapsulation stack protects the cells from moisture, dust, and mechanical stress, while the junction box and bypass diodes enhance safety and reliability. Over its 25 year warranty period, gradual degradation is limited by careful cell sorting and proven manufacturing processes, so dependable generation is maintained.

Light to electricity conversion: Each multi crystalline cell absorbs photons and releases electrons within the silicon lattice. These electrons flow through metal conductors on the cell surface, creating direct current electricity. When cells are wired together inside the panel, their voltages add to reach useful system levels.

Energy capture at maximum power point: Under typical conditions, the PM0160 reaches its maximum power at 18.6 volts and 8.6 amps. Modern inverters use maximum power point tracking to operate the panel close to this sweet spot. As sunlight and temperature change, the inverter continuously adjusts to harvest the highest possible energy.

Protection and safety features: The IP67 rated junction box with three bypass diodes helps reduce hot spot risk when parts of the panel are shaded. The diodes allow current to flow around shaded cells, improving energy yield in real world conditions. Tempered glass and the aluminium frame shield the cells from impact, snow, and wind loads.

Customer Success Stories

Troy P

EG4 off-grid base kit, Happy with my purchase.

This is the first stage of my three planned purches. I got the eg4 inverter 6000 XP base kit with six 400 watt panels and the two server rack batteries. Did a little online research and followed the instructions and it got set up without any issues. Right now I'm just running it in my garage on a single outlet and have been running dual 750 watt water distillers with it. Once I get the second inverter and a bunch more panels and batteries, I plan on attaching it to my subpanel in my house that has my lights and outlets and appliances on it. Then I'll get a soft start for my AC and blower and run it on my main panel.

Jacob B

Easy Process, Genuine Support

Trying to pick the correct solar system for your needs can be very technical and frustrating. I wanted to thank Yvhan and the Portlandia Electric supply team for their patience and helpful attitudes through multiple calls. I feel like we were able to narrow it down to what worked for me and my family. My system works great and I couldn't be happier to have picked Portlandia Electric Supply.

Patrick B

Off Grid Solar Purchase

I wanted to get an offgrid solar system for years but didn’t know where to start. I found Portlandia Electric Supply on Facebook and decided to submit a quote. Within 24 hours I had a custom proposal that was almost half the price of the companies I had previously got quotes from. My wife and I decided to order online and the kit came in a timely manner and it was an easy install. Great company to work with!

James Martin

Highly Recommend

I would like to take the time to express the outstanding service that I was provided with by Portlandia Electric Supply. They provided me with all the answers to my questions, and after reviewing our quote over the phone I felt comfortable proceeding to order my kit. It’s exactly what I needed and they were there to help us over the phone when we had questions installing it. I highly recommend others in need to choose Portlandia Electric Supply.

Brian H

Solar Kit for Mobile Work Van

As a professional videographer, I needed reliable power on the go.Portlandia Electric Supply Delta Pro and roof-mounted panels were the perfect solution. Setup was easy, and the kit included everything needed. The Delta Pro powers my cameras, lights, laptop, and a small fridge with impressive battery capacity.

Keith S

Best Tech Support

You folks have been wonderful guiding me through the ins and outs of going solar. Plus your tech guys Rod and Nelson are the absolute best. They explained all the different aspects of inverters, batteries and how to keep them in top condition. Too much more to put here… but no other company has the 100% tech support you provide for your customers!

Coll A

Great Experience

My experience with Portlandia Electric Supply has been excellent. Before the sales, they answered all my questions to assure that I got what I needed. After the sales they continued to support me with answers and help. I had a warranty issue with a unit, and it was handled as well as possible. I would recommend them to anyone looking to go solar.
