HIGH PRODUCTION
UPGRADED SOLAR CELLS
FLUSH OR JUNCTION BOX
SHADOW OPTIMIZED
DESIGNED FOR NORDIC REGIONS
The Nordic series has been developed by SUNBEAMsystem for use in its region of origin: the northern latitudes. It offers a universal solution for applications with a requirement for lightweight, flexible and compact solar panels. Because of being more efficient than standard glass solar panels you’ll get a higher power output from a relatively small surface area. All in all the Nordic series offers the best value for the money option in the market.
All models are equipped with the SUNBEAMsystem Shadow Optimized technology for improved performance in partial shadowing conditions. In 2020 all Nordic models have been retrofitted with newer and more efficient solar cells, increasing the peak power output. The Nordic models feature a smooth surface that is not scratch resistant but can be walked on occasionally with clean shoes.
The Junction Box models are fitted with stainless steel eyes and MC4 connectors for easy mounting and a waterproof connection. The Flush models are shipped without stainless steel eyes allowing for a seamless integration on hard surfaces. For installation, we recommend double-sided tape or a soft flexible glue like the white Sikaflex 291i or 591.
