Premiering a new crystalline module consisting of sixty high-performance monocrystalline cells.
· High-performance crystalline module with an output of over 250 watts
· Micromorphous thin film module with new interconnection concepts
· Innovative support system with installation time of 15 seconds per module
Valencia. Bosch Solar Energy AG is showcasing innovative cell, module and installation concepts at the European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition (EU PVSEC) in Valencia, Spain, between September 6th and 10th 2010.
EU PVSEC sees Bosch Solar Energy premiering a new crystalline module consisting of sixty high-performance monocrystalline cells. This module offers an output of more than 250 watts and an efficiency of 15.5 percent, characteristics which have been verified by the renowned Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE in Freiburg, Southern Germany. This exceptional performance is achieved through an optimized module concept. The new modules enhanced interconnection between solar cells, using a light harvesting string, reduces optical and electrical losses, thus increasing the module’s efficiency. Performance is improved even further thanks to a durable, anti-reflective coating on the cover glass.
Bosch Solar Energy is also showcasing innovative approaches in thin film technology, such as its micromorphous thin film solar module, Bosch Solar Module µm-Si EU1310. The optimized module layout and interconnection concept ensures a greater module performance at a lower open-circuit voltage. This enables up to ten modules to be interconnected in a string, thus making electrical installation easier and reducing costs. The module’s exterior design remains unchanged, ensuring that the Bosch Solar Module µm-Si EU1310 can also be used in the innovative slide-in system developed jointly with Bosch Rexroth.
This ideal match between support system and micromorphous thin film solar modules will also be on display at EU PVSEC. The system uses tracks instead of the usual clamps. Photovoltaic modules are simply inserted into the guide pieces and fastened instantly, halving installation time to 15 seconds per module and reducing material costs by up to 40 percent.
You will find more trendsetting cell and module concepts from Bosch Solar Energy in our innovation tunnel in Hall/Stand L2/H1/D15 at the 25th EU PVSEC exhibition in Valencia between September 6th and 9th, 2010.
