Sharp Modules

Engineering Excellence: High module efficiency for an outstanding balance of size and weight to power and performance.
Durable: Tempered glass, EVA lamination and weatherproof backskin provide long-life and enhanced cell performance.
Reliable: 25-year limited warranty on power output.
High Performance: This module uses an advanced surface texturing process to increase light absorption and improve efficiency.

Sharp panels are only available for purchase with an Alpha Energy managed system installation.

Using breakthrough technology, made possible by nearly 50 years of proprietary research and development, Sharp’s solar modules incorporate an advanced surface texturing process to increase light absorption and improve efficiency. Common applications include commercial and residential grid-tied roof systems as well as ground mounted arrays. Designed to withstand rigorous operating conditions, these modules offer high power output per square foot of solar array.
