BP MSX 60
60-Watt Multicrystalline
Photovoltaic Module
BP Solarâs MSX series is a premium line of PV modules with a 25-year
performance warranty, tightly controlled electrical parameters, and labeling
showing each moduleâs tested electrical characteristics. The MSX 60 provides
60 watts of nominal maximum power, and is well-suited to traditional
applications of photovoltaics such as telecommunications, remote villages
and clinics, pumping, and land-based aids to navigation. Its attractive
bronze-anodized frame also suits it well for architectural applications.
Proven Materials
and Construction
BP Solarâs quarter-century of field
experience shows in every aspect
of these moduleâs construction and
materials:
⢠36 multicrystalline silicon solar
cells configured as two 18-cell
series strings;
⢠Cells are laminated between
sheets of ethylene vinyl acetate
(EVA) and high-transmissivity
low-iron 3mm tempered glass;
⢠Frame strength exceeds require-
ments of certifying agencies.
Bronze Anodized
Universal Frame
High-Capacity Versatile
Junction Box
The junction box is raintight (IP54
rated) and accepts PG13.5 or 1/2"
nominal conduit or cable fittings. Its
volume (411cc, 25 cubic inches) and
6-terminal connection block enable
most system array connections (put-
ting modules in series or parallel) to
be made right in the junction box.
Options include:
⢠blocking and bypass diodes;
⢠an oversize terminal block which
accepts conductors up to 25mm2
(AWG #4); standard terminals
accept up to 6mm2 (AWG #10);
⢠a Solarstate⢠charge regulator.
Shipped in 12V configuration, mod-
ules may easily be switched to 6V
configuration by moving leads in the
junction box. Six-volt modules are
intended to support 6V loads, and
are not recommended as series
elements in higher voltage arrays.
Quality and Safety
⢠Manufactured in ISO 9001-
certified factories;
⢠Certified by PowerMark
Corporation;
⢠Listed by Underwriterâs
Laboratories for electrical and fire
safety (Class C fire rating);
⢠Certified by TÃV Rheinland as
Class II equipment;
⢠Approved by Factory Mutual
Research for application in NEC
Class 1, Division 2, Groups C &
D hazardous locations;
⢠Compliant with the requirements
of IEC 61215 including:
° repetitive cycling between
-40°C and 85°C at 85% relative
humidity;
° simulated impact of 25mm
(one-inch) hail at terminal
velocity;
° a âdamp heatâ test, consisting
of 1000 hours of exposure
to 85°C and 85% relative
humidity;
° a âhot-spotâ test, which
determines a moduleâs ability
to tolerate localized shadowing
(which can cause reverse-
biased operation and localized
heating);
° static loading, front and back,
of 2400 pascals (50 psf); front
loading (e.g. snow) of 5400
pascals (113 psf).
Limited Warranties
⢠Power output for 25 years;
⢠Freedom from defects in
materials and workmanship
for 5 years.
