PV Modules

Evergreen Solar
Spruce 170W, 180W and 190W Modules

Evergreen Spruce modules are designed to deliver the best performance and dependability from Evergreen Solar’s patented String Ribbon technology. These modules have one of the tightest power tolerances in the industry.

Superior Performance

• Maximum power up to 4% above rated, minimum only 2% below rated
• Anti-reflection cover glass delivers more energy
• Backed by a 25-year limited power warranty;
  2-year workmanship warranty
• A rigid, double-walled, deep frame with integrated water drainage holes
• Crimped frame corners – no screws to loosen
• Sealed junction box never needs field maintenance
• UL, cUL and CEC listed Leading Environmental Credentials
• Energy payback time up to 40% faster than leading crystalline technologies
• Low carbon dioxide emissions in the manufacturing process – up to to 33% less than other leading crystalline technologies
• Low lead – use of lead-free solder for all solar cell inter-connections

PV modules produced by Evergreen Solar are distinctive in their appearance because they incorporate proprietary crystalline silicon technology known as String Ribbon. In the String Ribbon technique, two high-temperature strings are pulled vertically through a shallow silicon melt, and the molten silicon spans and freezes between the strings. The process is continuous: long strings are unwound from spools; the melt is replenished; and the silicon ribbon is cut to length for further processing, without interrupting growth.

This new higher power series of modules from Evergreen is optimized for grid-tie systems. Evergreen modules utilize two parallel strings of 54 cells in series. They can be used for battery charging with an MPPT charge controller such as the OutBack MX-60, Apollo T-80 or the BlueSky series of charge controllers. Use up to 3 modules in series with the MX-60 or T-80 charge controller. They have Multi-Contact cables. Evergreen modules are UL, cUL and CEC listed and have a 25-year power output warranty. Modules are made in either USA or Germany.

Charge Controllers

NEW!
Apollo Solar
T80 Turbo Charger

The T80 TurboCharger integrates maximum power point tracking, battery charge management, state-of-charge information and communications into a single device. It can deliver 80 amps continuous output to 12-, 24- or 48-volt battery systems from PV arrays with open circuit voltage up to 140 VDC (150 V absolute maximum voltage). Wire modules in series to use smaller wire between the array and charge controller. The T80 captures up to 35% more power from the PV array. Their MPPT algorithm starts early and locks onto the peak power during rapidly changing insolation and temperature. The controller supports flooded lead acid (FLA), GEL and absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries. Four-stage charging with adjustable set points for all parameters.

The T80 TurboCharger produces full rated power without de-rating up to 40oC ambient temperature. Above that, the output current is reduced gradually to protect the life of the T80 and then automatically ramped up as the temperature decreases. High efficiency power circuits and robust thermal design minimize heat generation. The internal temperature-controlled variable speed fan runs just fast enough to maintain optimum reliability.

UL Listed. Dimensions are 15.2" x 8.5" x 4.4" and weight is 22 lbs.

The T80 includes a built-in energy monitor using TriMetric technology from Bogart Engineering. It tracks power production and consumption to calculate the energy remaining in the battery. State of charge (SOC) is displayed in percent full, amp-hours, watt-hours and bar graph format on a 4-line 20-character LCD with back light. In addition, 90 days of energy harvest history is stored in the T80. The on-board RS-232 and slot for optional add-in cards provide data communication to remote readouts, PCs and the internet. System performance can be monitored remotely and the T80 accepts software upgrades from a PC.

Two independently programmable SPST relays can be used to control external devices based on battery voltage, charge or discharge current or battery state of charge. Contact rating is ½ amp at up to 50 VDC.

Optional wired and wireless displays are available. The RD wired display can be up to 100 feet from the controller using 4-conductor telephone cable.

Grounding Products

Square-D 240V and 600V NEMA 
3R Safety Switch Disconnects

According to the National Electric Code, section 690.15, PV arrays must have a disconnecting means to isolate the inverter from the PV power source. Utility grid-tie inverters that utilize PV arrays with voltages above 250VDC require a disconnect rated for 600VDC to perform this function. The Square-D 600VDC 30-amp 3-pole safety switches are UL Listed to handle 13A at 600VDC per pole. They can be used for disconnecting up to three PV arrays for three grid-tie inverters. It has wiring lugs that are rated to accept two #14 to #10 wires in each lug.

This allows the disconnect switch to also act as a string combiner in systems that utilize two strings of PV modules per inverter. The 600VDC 60-amp 3-pole safety switches are UL Listed to handle 38A at 600VDC per pole. All other Square-D 600VDC disconnects are rated for disconnecting one string at full rated power.

Many utilities require an AC disconnect between a grid-tie inverter and the AC load center, close to the AC service entrance, with a visible and lockable handle. A 30-amp 240-volt disconnect is good for up to 5kW at 240 VAC and the 60-amp disconnect is good for up to 11kW. For connection of multiple inverters to one of these disconnects, use an AC load center, with a circuit breaker for each inverter installed, as an AC combiner box between the inverters and the disconnect switch. The breakers can be back-fed with the inverter outputs and the load center main lugs will handle the combined outputs to be connected to the AC disconnect.

Use Class R fuses of the proper amperage for fused disconnects. Use the hubs on the next page to connect conduit or a kWh meter socket to the top of the disconnect.

Disconnects are raintight (NEMA 3R) for outdoor use. Order a neutral busbar and ground busbar if you need to land these conductors in the disconnect switch box.
