BP 4170
The BP 4170 is an advanced 170W module utilising monocrystalline cells with
anti-reflective SiN coating. The BP 4170 has been especially designed for grid
connect applications such as large commercial roofs, residential systems,
photovoltaic power plants along with remote off-grid applications such as
telecommunications, water pumping and home systems. This 72 cell module
offers a superior price performance, with a white tedlar back sheet and
innovative, larger high-efficiency cells, providing superior power density.

1.Standard test conditions (STC), irradiance of 1000W/m at an AM1.5G solar spectrum and 2a cell temperature of 25C.
2.Normal Operating Cell Temperature (NOCT), air temperature of 20C; irradiance 800W/m ; wind speed 1m/s.
3.Power of solar cells varies in the normal course of production; the BP 4160 is assembled using cells of slightly lower power than
the BP 4170.
4.The mechanical characteristics of the BP 4160 and BP 4170 are identical.
