Hot Schott
The Feed-in Tariff is still the topic of the moment and Schott Solar is using this
opportunity to preview its latest PV product – the Schott Perform Mono 280.
Due to become available later in the year, the manufacturers say that this
module benefits from the world’s first six-inch solar cells achieving 20.2 per cent
efficiency. Aesthetically, it features dark mono cells set within a black frame.
Also on display will be the ASI 107 module – which according to Schott
has a double-glass construction enabling it to be resistant to environmental
influences including agricultural applications – confirmed by the seal of quality
for ammonia resistance issued by the German Agricultural Society (DLG).
Additionally, the company will be presenting the Protect Poly 185, the
Perform Mono 190 and the Perform Poly 240 – modules which it says offer
maximum yield from limited roof spaces.
John Meadows, md of Schott UK, said: “The renewable energy industry
is expanding at a rapid rate. More and more businesses are coming to realise
the benefits of solar power and, as one of the longest running manufacturers in
the industry, we feel it is important to deliver a reliable and effective product
offering. We are proud of our long history and this extensive experience is
evident in the constant innovation and development of our products.”
