° re Photovoltaic Module
The BP 3160 photovoltaic module is designed to provide superior value and performance for
residential, commercial and industrial use. With time-tested multicrystalline silicon solar cells, it
provides cost-effective power for DC loads or,with an inverter,AC loads.With 72 enhanced-effi-
ciency cells in series, it charges 24V batteries (or multiples of 24V) efficiently in virtually any
climate. With 160 watts of nominal maximum power, it is used in utility-grid supplemental
systems for residences,commercial buildings, and centralized power generation and in remote
systems for applications including telecommunications,pumping and irrigation,remote villages
and homes, and land-based aids to navigation.
Available versions include:
BP 3160S- Framed module with polarized cable connectors
BP 3160L - Unframed laminate version of the BP 3160S

Notes BP 3160 I-V Curves
1.These data represent the performance of Typical BP 3160 and &0
BP 3150 modules and laminates as measured at their output
connectors.The data are based on measurements made in
accordance with ASTM El 036 corrected to SRC(Standard
Reporting Conditions,also known as STC or Standard Test S0
Conditions),which are:
• illumination of 1 kW/m'(1 sun)at spectral distribution of
AM 1.5(ASTM E892 global spectral irradiance);
• cell temperature of 25°C. 4.0
2.The power of solar cells varies in the normal course of
production:the BP 3150 is assembled using cells of slightly
lower power than the 8P 3160, Q T=0°C
3.During the stabilization process which occurs during the first V gp T=25°C
few months of deployment,module power may decrease up T=50°C
to 3%from typical Pmax V T=75°C
4.S and U versions only. 2.0
5.The cells in an illuminated module operate hotter than the
ambient temperature.NOCT(Nominal Operating Cell
Temperature)is an indicator of this temperature differential,and
is the cell temperature under Standard Operating Conditions: 1A
ambient temperature of 20'C,solar irradiation of 0.8 kW/m',
and wind speed of 1 m/s.
