UniSolar are the biggest name in modern 'thin-film' solar panels. They use a very thin layer of vacuum-deposited, amorphous silicon to create the solar cell, rather than the big clunky chunks of silicon crystal found in older panels.
The US 64 is a tough, aluminium-framed solar panel based on amorphous silicon technology. 'Thin-film' solar panels such as these are more efficient at low light levels than standard crystalline panels - an important feature in the depths of a British winter! The power output is guaranteed to be within 80% of its rated output for 20 years, so this panel is a great investment and is one of our best-selling panels.
We recommend the SunSaver 6A regulator for use with this panel. If you are planning an array of several panels, the ProStar range of 15A, and 30A regulators would be an excellent choice. Don't forget to take a look at our cables and connectors page for all the necessary wiring required to install your solar panel.
