Sunmodu l ei®
SW 240 mono
High-quality, high performance, and high reliability — the Sunmodule Plus® is
designed and built for long-term yield stability and ease of use.
Every module is factory flashed at standard test conditions (STC)to determine the
power output and then sorted in 5 watt increments. Only modules with a flashed
power that is greater than or equal to the nameplate rated power are delivered.Flash
report data is provided with every order.
The proven design of the patented low profile Sunbox junction box, has been
installed on over 4,000,000 modules. Integrated by-pass diodes and sealed welded
connections ensure reliability and eliminate failures resulting from exposure to the
elements. The molded fins on the exterior housing dissipate heat quickly to ensure
high reliability and long life.
The patented box channel frame design provides extraordinary stiffness in bending
and torsion. The laminate with 4 mm glass is set deep in the frame channel and
secured with precision applied adhesive. The frame is assembled by press fit to
maximize strength and longevity. The result is an extremely robust package that can
be mounted in any orientation and can withstand static loads of up to 113 psf.

SolarWorld's unique plus-sorting method ensures that our customers 245 W You get at least 240 Watts
receive the watts they pay for. Every module is factory flash tested (at Sunmodule% from every module

With plus-sorting, SolarWorld only delivers modules that have greater 230 W

By delivering actual power, plus-sorting ensures that systems operate at 220 W

SolarWorld's linear performance guarantee — long term perfomance assured
Because SolarWorld produces the highest quality,we can guarantee the best performance.That's why SolarWorld is the first
solar company to offer a 25-year linear performance guarantee*for all modules installed as of January 1,2010.
According to our guarantee,the actual power of a new module cannot deviate from the specified rated power by more than 3%
during the first year;and afterward,the power will not decrease by morethan 0.7 percent of the rated power per year.So atyear
11, the Sunmodule's capacity is guaranteed to be at least 89.3% of the nameplate as opposed to the industry standard
guarantee of 80%. And at year 20, it's still at least 83% as opposed to the industry standard 80%. SolarWorld's linear
performance guarantee provides clear added value that you can take to the bank.
