CHANGE! As many manufacturers have stopped making 12 volt modules or dropped out of PV manufacturing altogether, we've sifted through many options.
We finally have stock on a great selection on high quality 12V PV modules, including Canadian Certified C1D2 panels for hazardous locations, Canadian certified panels for code compliant residential - and at last non-certified panels for mobile applications which are the least expensive.
We also have a few BP and Ameresco modules left for sites that may have broken panels and exact matching is required to continue using the same mount/racking where you need to match up the exact frame thickness, dimensions, hole patterns, and/or clamping.
Feel free to call with any questions on panels, specs, and mounting options. Thank You!
