Solarex are a leading developer and producer of photovoltaic modules, both in semi-crystalline and amorphous technologies. Solarex has established one the widest product lines available worldwide and Marlec are Solarex's UK "Authorised Distributor" holding large stocks of most modules and accessories. We offer full technical support for system design, either stand-alone or in hybrid wind/solar systems and complete after sales service.

Mega Modules
Mega modules are Solarex's range of framed, glass fronted panels available in a variety of output and physical sizes. They are suited for permanent and temporary installations.

• Constructed of 36 semi-crystalline silicon solar cells
• Tempered glass sub-strate is self cleaning, highly transmissive and impact resistant
• Anodised aluminium frame is corrosion resistant and compatible with Solarex mounting structures
• Easy to access and wire weatherproof terminal box · Rugged and weatherproof construction
• the cells are laminated between sheets of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and tempered glass with a durable backsheet
• Withstand repetitive cycling between -40 C and 90 C
• Withstand windloading exceeding 125mph
• Withstand impact of a one inch hail stone at 52mph · Meets ISPRA and JPL Block V test criteria and is approved by Factory Mutual Research for application in NEC Class 1, Division 2, Group D hazardous locations

Typical applications are telecommunications, residential, rural development, sail boats, caravans and motor homes, traffic signals, cathodic protection, navigation and many other uses.

Voltage Controllers
A variety of solar charge controllers are available in 12v and 24v and the controller rating should be selected according to the peak power rating of the solar array. Marlec manufacture a range of controllers designed for combining wind and solar systems. See information on RWS type controllers under "Rutland Windchargers" section.

Mounting Kits
A range of solar panel array mounting kits are available for ground and pole fixing. Contact Marlec direct to discuss your requirements, we will be happy to advise you.
