Sanyo HIT's have black frames... most manufacturers use anti-reflective glass. Maybe a bifacial panel would be a good choice... (Sanyo HIT Double) Seems like a black "background" or substrate is a counterproductive idea, as that would increase cell temps and decrease efficiency... Sometimes customers are not privy to how crystalline technology works and a discussion of efficiency is necessary. A customer will get more "bang for their buck" if they make efficiency their first priority.

Andrews Klamath Falls, OR 97601 >> >> Along this same thread, I have a large ground mounted residential system proposal on hold because homeowner association has requested low reflective glazing and all black frames on all modules. I have seen a few dark bronze anodized aluminum frame modules over the years but would like to see a list of which modules in the 175 to 200 watt range are available with optional all black trim, frame, and background behind cells.
