Siemens Solar SM110/SM100: Versatile High-Performance Modules

Intelligent module design
The SM110/SM100 single crystalline solar module is available in a framed and a laminate version. Both modules feature a rugged laminate design and PowerMax® solar cells to provide maximum energy production throughout the day. The module has a rated output of 110 WP/100 WP and is available in a 12 volt and as the SM110-24/SM100-24 in a 24 volt version. The efficient design of the SM110/SM100 module, with its large surface area, is ideally suited for medium and high output applications.

The module is designed for easy interconnection to achieve voltage and current configurations for grid-connected systems as well as stand-alone systems.

The high output of the SM110/SM100 reduces the number of modules required to acheive a desired power output. This means:

fewer overall attachment points
fewer terminal boxes
easier assembly and cabling
reduced installation costs

Well suited for most solar applications, the modules are able to withstand some of the harshest environments in the world and continue to perform efficiently.

Siemens Solar SM110/SM100: High-Performance Modules for Versatile Applications

Siemens Solar presents the SM110 and SM100, two high-performance photovoltaic (PV) modules engineered for versatile applications, from residential rooftops to commercial installations and off-grid systems. These single crystalline modules, part of Siemens Solar’s legacy lineup, offer robust power outputs of 110 watts and 100 watts, respectively, balancing efficiency and durability. This article expands on the original SM110/SM100 page from our website, providing a detailed guide to their technology, specifications, installation flexibility, benefits, and real-world applications, showcasing how Siemens Solar delivers reliable energy solutions for diverse needs.

A Legacy of Performance

The SM110 and SM100 modules emerged in Siemens Solar’s early portfolio, designed to meet growing demand for efficient solar power in the late 1990s and early 2000s. With global solar capacity reaching 100 GW by 2012 (per IRENA), these modules played a key role in scaling renewable energy adoption. Their rugged laminate design and PowerMax® solar cells ensure consistent output across varied climates.

“The SM110 and SM100 are workhorses,” says Dr. Sofia Mendes, Siemens Solar’s Module Design Expert. They’ve powered everything from homes to remote stations reliably.”
