KD Series (SX) 140W, 12V Solar Panel
with Junction Box
KD140SX-UFBS

The Kyocera KD 140 solar panel is very popular for off-grid solar applications. It's available in 2 different versions - the SX and the GX. So when should you use which and why? The solar cells and frame are identical between the two. The main difference is how you connect them in your system. But here are some distinctions to help you decide:

  • The GX version comes with a sealed junction box on the back with PV wire and +/- solar connectors. This makes it very easy to wire them in series with other solar panels, so it's useful for when you have several panels in your array.
  • The GX is also appropriate if you have a portable system, like a boat or RV, where you have to disconnect and store the panels for some time. There is a disconnect key that makes it easy to do so for the GX version.
  • The SX version, on the other hand, comes with a junction box only- no cables. It comes with 2 water tight strain releifs inside the junction box to provide a water tight seal around the wires. This allows you to open up the junction box and do your own wiring, so it's useful when you're installing the panel on a boat and want to use marine grade wire, for example.
  • The SX panel, then, is great for a smaller solar system with only 1 or 2 panels - ideal for such applications as solar water pumping.

Kyocera's advanced cell processing technology and automated production facilities have produced a multi-crystalline solar cell with an efficiency of over 16%. All Kyocera solar panels are constructed using a tempered glass front, EVA pottant and a PVF backing to provide maximum protection from the most severe environmental conditions. The entire laminate is framed in a heavy duty anodized aluminum frame to provide structural strength and ease of installation. Because Kyocera solar modules are so efficient, less space is required than other solar panels of equal output. This translates to both more wattage per square foot and lower mounting structure cost.

Features:

  • New frame technology allows for end mounting under 2400 Pa (50 psf) and traditional mounting under 5400 Pa (113 psf)
  • Rated for Hazardous Location Class I Div II Groups A-D and Class I Zone 2 Group II C (ie. Oil Rigs)
  • Strong, sturdy aluminum box frame with crossbars on the back side of module for greater support and stability in harsh environmental conditions
  • UV stabilized, aesthetically pleasing black anodized finish
  • Supported by all major mounting structure manufacturers
  • Easily accessible grounding points on all four corners for fast installation
  • Proven junction box technology (2 strain reliefs included inside junction box)
  • 25-year limited power output warranty and a 10-year workmanships warranty (see Product Documentation section above for details)
