Siemens SM110 / SM100: product photograph restored from the original low-resolution picture.
The SM110 and SM100 are the large single-crystal modules: 72 cells, 1316 × 660 mm, 11.5 kg and 110 W or 100 W. They were offered framed (F) and as a laminate (L), in 12 V and, as the SM110-24 and SM100-24, in 24 V versions. Siemens’ pitch was fewer modules for a given power, so fewer attachment points, terminal boxes and connections.

Seventy-two cells in one laminate gives two electrical choices from the same footprint: 12 V (Vmp 17.5 V, 6.3 A) and 24 V (Vmp 35 V, 3.15 A). The 24 V version halves the current, which cuts cable loss over long runs. In 5 peak-sun-hours the 12 V version adds roughly 23.6 Ah a day to a 12 V battery (Imp × 5 h × 0.75).

Notes from the datasheet. (1) Electrical values at standard test conditions: irradiance 1000 W/m², cell temperature 25 °C, spectrum per ASTM E892 (air mass 1.5). (2) Nominal operating conditions: 800 W/m², ambient 20 °C, wind 1 m/s. (3) Qualification tests per CEC 503. (4) Diagonal lifting of a module corner with three corners fixed. (5) Warranty applies to the original consumer purchaser; see the full limited warranty for conditions. The tier percentages refer to the minimum power rating (Pmin), not the rated power.
