(replaces the discontinued BP Solar BP Solar 490J, 485J, 385, 380)

The SES 490J 90 Watt solar panel is part of SES's rugged industrial off grid series. These high quality solar modules provide cost-effective photovoltaic power for DC battery charging systems. With 36 monocrystalline cells in series, this panel charges batteries efficiently in any climate.

The SES 490J is a BP solar panel replacement intended for 12VDC solar battery charging systems (charge controller required). It may be wired in series for higher nominal voltages. It is ideal for longevity outdoors; with an anodized aluminum frame and tempered glass face.

The SES 490J is approved for applications in NEC Class 1, Division 2 Groups A, B, C & D hazardous locations and approved for explosion resistance. This certification is required near gas and oil pipelines.

The SES 490J is Built to Last

From mountaintops to vast oil fields, on weather stations in the bitter cold of Antarctica and on telephone signal repeaters in the hot Australian outback, the technology behind these reliable solar panels has been proven in the harshest environments.

Standard Junction Box

The SES 490J has has a weatherproof junction box and a very rugged frame. The standard terminals accept 8 AWG to 14 AWG wire. The raintight (IP65 Rated) junction box of the SES 490J accepts PG13.5 or 1/2" nominal conduit or cable fittings. With its four-terminal connection block, it enables most system array connections (putting modules in series or parallel) to be made right in the junction box. Simiar to the BP SX-490J. and BP SX-485J.
