Mitsubishi Electric PV TD 185 MF5
Mitsubishi's polycrystalline module has been on sale since the second quarter of 2008; it has a nominal output of 185 watts. The manufacturer says that more than 100 megawatts of this module have already been installed. It is Mitsubishi's first model that can be used in all applications, unlike its modules for economical and design-oriented applications. The firm says it places great store on electrical safety, so the panel has dedicated sockets for each of the two connections, which are also cast in an inflammable material. A total of three bypass diodes are used. For mechanical stiffness, the module has a diagonal support on the back, to which a cross brace is attached to facilitate installation. The firm also says it pays attention to environmental impact during manufacturing; no lead is used for soldering, and the module complies with the EU's RoHS directive.
