In order to meet the needs of a large and diverse number of users we sell modules from several different manufacturers.
All the major manufacturer's modules we carry feature similar, very high quality, manufacturing techniques:
- Tempered Low Iron Glass
- Anodized Aluminum Frames
- EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) - Tedlar encapsulation with Butyl Edge Seal
- Terminal Boxes on Module Back or MC connectors on the large modules
- Built-in bypass diodes
SunWize solar modules are manufactured using single crystal cells. Their SW module line has a 20 year, 80% power output warranty.
Today solar modules are manufactured in many countries all over the world. Due to the increased world-wide demand for solar modules, the ones we receive for sale from SunWize, Mitsubishi, or Sharp, are manufactured in many different countries world wide.

SunWize SW Series modules deliver top quality performance for all photovoltaic applications, including rural electrification, water pumping, and general battery charging. Ideal for AC and DC installations, SunWize SW Series modules can be used in single module and multiple-module systems. Each module consists of 36 solar cells 
connected in series providing maximum charging power. They are manufactured to comply with U.S. and international standards and are factory tested to verify performance. SW modules are UL
approved and ISPRA certified under IEC 61215 standards. The SW Series modules are covered by a 20 year 80% power warranty.
They feature the following industry standard construction:
- Single crystalline solar cells are encapsulated and bonded to the glass in multiple layers of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and laminated with a white TedlarTM backing insuring long life in severe environmental conditions.
- The glass surface (tempered low iron) is impact resistant and allows maximum light transmission
- A weather resistant junction box accommodates all wiring methods including moisture-tight strain relief connectors and electrical conduit.
- Anodized aluminum tubular frames add strength and durability to the modules
- Bypass diodes within the wiring box insure reliable operation.
