| Catalogue option | Listed dimensions | Listed net weight | Maximum-power voltage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 W module | 1085 × 510 × 2 mm (±2 mm) | 2.6 kg ±0.2 kg | 22.6 V ±3% |
| 240 W module | 1300 × 1020 × 2 mm (±2 mm) | 3.3 kg ±0.2 kg | 29.0 V ±3% |
| 308 W module | 1662 × 790 × 2 mm (±2 mm) | 4.1 kg ±0.2 kg | 43.81 V ±3% |
These are manufacturer-stated module values, not installed-system dimensions or mass. Include supports, cable routing and service access in the roof envelope. A shared 2 mm profile does not establish the same permitted handling or bending conditions.
The roof drawing needs more than length and width
Mark roof shape, existing fittings, expected shading, support arrangement and areas that must stay accessible. Identify the cable exit and receiving electrical equipment. Ask which details require the vehicle/equipment team’s review before a sample is fitted.
For movement-related requirements, describe the actual equipment and operating conditions. Request the relevant mounting instructions and evidence; this page does not substitute a generic vibration, adhesive or weatherproofing assumption for them.
Match the charging system separately
The module’s maximum-power voltage is one input, not a complete controller compatibility test. Give the receiving controller/inverter and battery architecture, then request the characteristics and limits required for a model-specific review.
Keep energy estimates distinct from electrical compatibility. The JRC PVGIS manual illustrates the importance of location and exposure assumptions for defined PV calculations. A fixed-site estimate is not evidence of generation along a vehicle route or under changing parked shade.
Agree on a sample record
A useful review record ties the module and document revision to the proposed mounting arrangement, receiving electrical system and questions being evaluated. List what remains untested, and who accepts the mechanical, electrical and vehicle-specific work.
Start with solar module selection or custom solar OEM scoping. If the roof and controller are still undecided, say so in the enquiry; resolving those boundaries may be the next step before ordering samples.
