Matrix Solar Panel - Advanced technology for any climate

Matrix solar panels are the advanced technology product that makes solar energy suitable for use in any climate, no matter how hot or how cold. One brand is made in the United States by a subsidiary of Photowatt and many times their solar panels are referred to as the Photowatt.

The matrix solar panel is a high efficiency panel. They are made of multicrystalline and monocrystalline cells called Polix and provide from 12W to 230W of output. They are designed to meet high performance standards and can be used in high voltage grid support situations.

The matrix is the part of the solar panel that fits in the frame. This is the part that contains the photovoltaic cells that collect the energy from the sun. There is a reflective layer behind the matrix which reflects the heat back into the matrix for better energy absorption. The design of the matrix forces the heat to flow in a certain direction known as the forced fluid path. There is a high transmission tempered glass covering over the solar cells and an ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) cushion over that. This protects the solar panel from the elements. The panel backing of high strength polymer results in the unit being sealed from moisture.

There is a universal junction box that makes the panels easy to install and connect to meet energy needs anywhere, whether it is water pumping, telecom systems, battery charging, integrated or remote power systems.

The panels come with different power capacities so the buyer must be sure to select the panels that are best for his needs. They are available from a variety of online and land-based sources at various prices.
