The 175-watt and larger panels are designed for use in high-voltage grid-tie applications, but can be used in large industrial and off-grid applications for battery charging if the system includes an appropriate MPPT charge controller such as the OutBack MX-60, Apollo T80 or BlueSky Solar Boost.
These modules use 50 square poly-crystalline 156mm cells in series behind tempered glass with anodized aluminum frames, and Multi-Contact locking connector output cables. Positive and negative cables come from junction boxes at opposite ends of the module.

Mitsubishi has applied leading-edge technologies from its space-related applications to terrestrial systems to create high-performance photovoltaic power-generation systems for an astonishing range of applications. Mitsubishi Electric successfully produced the first cells in Japan that do not require solder coatings.
This was a milestone in the development of environmentally friendly composite materials and manufacturing processes for the silver electrodes used on the surfaces of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells. Their PV modules are now made using lead-free solder, completely eliminating lead from the manufacturing process.
