Description
The SLD Tech ST-180Q-24Y is a 180-watt, 24-volt monocrystalline solar panel designed to provide constant pressure on power delivery for high-power off-grid applications where reliable 24V performance, exceptionally fast battery charging, and professional-grade construction are essential. Featuring 64 high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon solar cells arranged in a 4×16 configuration, the ST-180Q-24Y achieves a module efficiency of 22.0% — industry-leading efficiency ensuring maximum power generation from every square inch. With an exceptional positive power tolerance of 0 to +5W, every panel is guaranteed to produce at least 180W and may deliver up to 185W under standard test conditions.
Key Features:
- 180W High-Power Output for 24V Systems — Highest-power 24V panel in the SLD Tech lineup, ideal for commercial and industrial applications
- Exceptional +5W Power Tolerance — Guaranteed minimum 180W output, may produce up to 185W (better than standard +3%)
- Industry-Leading 22.0% Efficiency — Premium monocrystalline cells deliver maximum power per square foot
- High Current Output (4.89A) — Fast battery charging for 24V systems up to 400Ah capacity
- 64-Cell TRUE 24V Design — Optimized voltage (36.88V Vmp) for efficient 24V battery charging
- Extended Warranties — 10-year workmanship / 25-year linear power warranty
- Professional-Grade Construction — Heavy-duty frame and tempered glass for decades of outdoor use
The 51.97" × 27.76" × 1.38" form factor and moderate 22.75 lb weight make the ST-180Q-24Y ideal for applications requiring substantial 24V power output: commercial trucks and heavy equipment requiring high-power 24V charging; marine house bank charging for large yachts and commercial vessels; industrial control systems and telecommunications facilities; backup power for remote monitoring and communication sites; solar-powered water pumping for agriculture and livestock; and off-grid 24V power systems for remote facilities.
Its nominal 24V DC output (36.88V Vmp, 43.27V Voc) is optimized for charging 24V battery banks with standard PWM or MPPT charge controllers, and the 4.89A current output enables reliable fast charging even during challenging weather conditions.
Built for durability in harsh outdoor environments, the ST-180Q-24Y combines a heavy-duty anodized aluminum frame with high-transparency, low-iron tempered glass to deliver long-term reliability in extreme conditions. The panel is engineered to withstand wind loads up to 2400 Pa (negative) and snow loads up to 5400 Pa (positive), and is tested for salt mist corrosion resistance (IEC 61701) — making it suitable for marine, coastal, and high-altitude installations where environmental exposure is severe.
Advanced cell technology and qualified materials provide high resistance to Potential Induced Degradation (PID), ensuring the panel maintains its performance over decades even in high-voltage systems (rated to 1000V DC). The ST-180Q-24Y's outstanding low-light performance ensures continuous energy production during early morning, late afternoon, overcast conditions, and partially shaded scenarios.
