Data missing from SP140 cut sheet [RE-wrenches]

[Corral, Ignacio A SSILP]

William,
Unfortunately, you pulled up the datasheet for the European version of the
Shell SP140 and Shell SP150. In the Mono-crystalline product page, which is
linked to www.shellsolar.com, you need to hit the PRODUCT LIST (USA) link. I
believe you hit the CORE PRODUCT LIST (English- Except USA) link. The
datasheets listed on the PRODUCT LIST (USA) all have the rated output
current on the back of the datasheet along with all other technical
specifications. This data is listed as Peak power current. The peak power
current for the SP140-P (P indicates U.S. version with the ProCharger
junction box) is 4.25A and for the SP150-P is 4.4A. 

As for the color printing, most printers give you the option to select PRINT
IN GRAYSCALE under the PROPERTIES tab. This will print out the datasheet in
black and white and not use up your colored ink cartridges (which we all
know end up costing more than the printer!)  We also have hardcopy color
datasheets which are available upon request. If you have any additional
questions or comments, feel free to contact me offline. Best wishes,

Dear Sirs or Ms:

I just downloaded the 2 page cut sheets for the Shell SP140 and SP150 PV
modules.  There is at least one item of data glaringly absent:  The rated
output current.  This was listed for all Siemens products but has
apparently been left out of the documents redone by Shell.  The documents
in question are:  ShellSolarSP140_UKv5.pdf and ShellSolarSP150_UKv5.pdf.
For an example of a correct document, please see the Siemens cut sheet for
the SP150.  It does contain the rated amperage.

I must emphasize that designers and field installers must have access to
published data in order to file complete design documents and building
permit applications.  This is an important part of manufacturers support.

Please correct the documents cited and e-mail them to me at this e-mail
address at your earliest convenience.  Thank you in advance for your
assistance.

Sincerely,


William Miller

PS:  If I may, I'd also like to suggest that these documents contain a
minimum of color for ease in printing in standard office color printers.
We need to print multiple copies of these cut sheets and it really consumes
a lot of color ink if the sheets are too busy with color.

Thanks,

WM
