Sharp ND-60RU1 Owner's manual

60 WATT
POLY-CRYSTALLINE SILICON PHOTOVOLTAIC
ROOF MODULE WITH 60W MAXIMUM POWER
Beautifully complementing standard flat roof tiles of many shapes and sizes,
Sharp’s ND-60RU1 solar modules offer a clean integrated look that’s especially
pleasing to homeowners.These solar modules are quick and easy to integrate
into the roof in the same manner as common, flat concrete tiles. And like flat
tiles, they can be easily replaced individually. They’re designed for weather
blocking, with water channel design similar to concrete tiles. The module
brackets screw to the existing roof battens and roof deck, but no additional
framing materials are required. Offering superior durability, they are resistant
to moisture, impact and high winds. Sharp’s solar roof modules are an ideal
combination of aesthetics, performance and ease of installation for a wide
range of residential new construction.
AESTHETIC APPEAL. EFFICIENT INSTALLATION.
ND-60RU1

of many colors, becoming nearly
“invisible”to the eye.
