Kaneka GEB
This is a massive selling solar panel in Australia with over 10,000 units sold in the last three years.
High voltage makes it suited to grid connect applications or together with an maximum power point tracking regulator for battery charging.
It's also extremely popular for solar pumping because of it's high voltage, temperature characteristics and superior spectrum absorption.
External flanges make it very easy for mounting the panel.
It comes complete with polarised MC connectors.
Compared to crystalline solar cells, Kaneka has same amazing benefits. It uses 1/600th of the thickness silicon, it almost twice as stable in high temperatures and of course it has excellent shade resistance. Not to mention it looks dam sexy!

Exceptional high temperature tolerance - a crystalline solar panel decreases in power output over twice as rapidly as the Kaneka GEB.
Kaneka Silicon PV's generated watt-power is about the same as that of other crystalline silicon PVs during the winter months, but in summer, the Kaneka Silicon PV generates significantly more power compared to other crystalline silicon PVs.
Kaneka modules can deliver maximum performance during summer when the electricity is needed most for air-conditioners in houses and offices.
Exceptional performance in low light and shady conditions - a regular crystalline panel will cease to function when shade falls on part of the panel. With the Kaneka LSU, shade will only impact on the portion of the panel the shade obscures
Additionally, Kaneka solar panels have superior light absorption per nominal watt power. They absorb more of the sun's spectrum. Compared with mono-crystalline silicon PV modules or poly-crystalline silicon PV modules, Kaneka generates considerably more power per nominal watt power.
Assuming that the total solar radiation per year (1.323kWh/m2) is 100%, Kaneka Silicon PV can produce 90.95% of actually generated watt-power, much higher than that of other crystalline silicon PVs (80 to 84%).

Lower level of embedded energy. The energy payback time is less than 2 years or around 30% less than a crystalline solar panel - a decisive ecological advantage!
Energy Pay-back Time is one of the most important aspects when evaluating the ecological benefit of PV systems.
The thickness of the Kaneka cell is 0.3 micron, which is 1/600 of that of crystalline silicon cell (approx. 200 microns).
