The Alps AP-BP85 module features poly-crystalline photovoltaic cell technology. The 36 ("5×5")square solar cells are encapsulated beneath high transmission tempered glass using an advanced, UV resistant thermal setting plastic. The encapsulant ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) cushions the solar cells within the laminate and ensures the operating characteristics of the solar cells under virtually any climatic conditions. The rear surface of the module is completely sealed from moisture and mechanical damage by a continuous high strength polymer sheet. The glass/tedlar construction of the module minimizes weight while providing a durable, protective environment for the solar cells. The Alps AP- P85 is available as a complete module or a laminate.
