Super Rugged Series. The monocrystalline high efficiency SR cells are sandwiched by two patented metallic grids. The grid on the front is carefully tailored to optimize the current harvesting, while the one behind the cell offers strong mechanical support. The grids essentially form a double shield that acts as a conducting reinforcement to the solar cell. Extreme crack and bend tolerance are built in, providing a guarantee of high efficiency and unmatched durability. High resistance to mechanical stresses thanks to the thin wires thick mesh on the cell surface Flexible and lightweight (2.4 kg/m2) Completely waterproof and resistant to salt water Thin (less than 2 mm) 5 year warranty against manufacturing defects Positive power tolerance (0%, +5%) Integrated bypass diodes to minimise output losses associated with partial shading Up to nine bypass diodes in the Guardian models, to fight the effects of shadows even better Available with different front sheets, many fixing and electrical wiring options White, black or transparent back sheet Adaptable to any battery: from 5 to 48 volt, lead-acid or lithium Designed and manufactured in Italy

At the core of Merlin Solar’s patented technology is an innovative pair of metal grids serve as intra-cell and inter-cell connections. The same copper and solder as any other bus bar cell are used, but 20 redundant lines and more than 180 interconnections enable the extraction of more power and significantly improve the reliability, performance and ruggedness of the solar panel. Merlin SolarTM cell On the rear of the cell a second grid provides extreme resistance to cracks and overbending. More power and high reliability. The metallic grid on the front of the cell is specifically designed to...
