Each UNI-SOLAR solar battery charger
utilizes the proprietary Triple Junction silicon solar
cells of United Solar. These cells are made in a roll-to-roll
deposition process on a continuous roll of stainless
steel sheet metal. The result is a unique, flexible,
lightweight cell.
The vinyl and foam modules are exceptionally durable.
They are encapsulated in UV stabilized polymers and
bonded and stitched to a cushioned backing material.
The polymer encapsulation includes EVA and fluoropolymer
Tefzel, a DuPont film.
Bypass diodes are connecetd across each cell, allowing
the modules (excluding the USF-5) to produce power even
when partially shaded. Blocking diodes are included
within each poted junction box. A blocking diode prevents
battery discharge into the module under very low or
no-light conditions.
Each panel has 8 feet of tinned wire with 2-pin SAE
connector and is packaged with a 2-foot fused battery
cable.
