Pharos Marine SPEX175-12 175W Polycrystalline Solar Panel
Model SPEX175-12 | Polycrystalline | 60-Cell Module | Monofacial | 1000V System Voltage
Product Overview
The Pharos Marine SPEX175-12 is a rugged polycrystalline solar panel built for demanding hazardous-area applications. It is designed for reliable operation in Zone 1 and Zone 2 environments where durability matters. The module delivers 175 Wp of rated output with 17.5% efficiency. Its tempered anti-reflection glass supports strong light transmission and dependable performance. The anodized aluminium frame adds structural strength for installation stability. This model is suitable for marine, offshore, and remote industrial projects requiring dependable solar power.
Key Benefits
Hazardous-area ready: Designed for demanding gas and dust environments in Zone 1 and Zone 2 applications.
Weather resistance: The module is highly resistant to water, abrasion, hail impact, and severe weather exposure.
Reliable power delivery: It offers stable output performance with a maximum power rating of 175 Wp.
Strong mechanical build: The anodized aluminium frame improves torsional rigidity and simplifies installation.
Easy system integration: MC4 compatibility and three bypass diodes support practical modular deployment.
How It Works
This solar panel converts sunlight into direct current power through its polycrystalline photovoltaic cells. The generated energy is then delivered through MC4-compatible connectors for straightforward integration. Three bypass diodes help reduce power loss during partial shading and support smoother operation. The tempered anti-reflection glass allows light to reach the cells while improving surface durability. Its certified construction supports use in hazardous environments where dependable solar generation is essential. The panel can be installed individually or within a larger modular system. That flexibility makes it suitable for remote and industrial power projects.
Photovoltaic conversion: Sunlight is absorbed by the polycrystalline cells and converted into usable electrical energy. The module is designed for efficient daily output in remote installations.
Bypass protection: Three bypass diodes help maintain performance when part of the module is shaded. They also support better resilience in varied field conditions.
System integration: The MC4 connector and rugged frame make installation more practical on marine and industrial sites. The panel can be expanded into modular arrays for higher output needs.
