SKU SES-405M
Our latest generation of small area modules offers the following benefits:
  • Built to last
    From mountaintops to off-shore platforms, on weather stations in the bitter cold of Antarctica and on telephone signal repeaters in the hot Australian outback, the technology has been proven in the harshest environments.
  • Multiple mounting possibilities
    Multimount frame allows even greater flexibility in mounting. Positioned parallel to the edge and back of the module, its dual channels accept either M8 or 5/16" hex-head bolts, allowing the module to be mounted from the side or back.
  • Easier bolt management
    Bolts may be located anywhere along the channels; the channel groove is specially designed to prevent the bolt from rotating when tightening, allowing installation with just one wrench.
  • Long cable for easier battery connections.
    A 4.6 meter PVC-jacketed AWG 18-2 polarized cable is potted into the fully sealed junction box located on the module back. The module's electrical connections are sealed for prevention against corrosion and moisture penetration.
