SCHOTT Photovoltaics (PV)

SCHOTT photovoltaic (PV) modules

Independent testing and studies have proven that the highest energy yields are achieved by top quality crystalline solar power cells like those used in SCHOTT photovoltaics (PV). SCHOTT photovoltaic (PV) modules are designed with cost-efficient and practical solutions for use and integration and are available either framed or unframed depending upon the type of mounting to be applied.

We currently keep stocks of 160Wp framed photovoltaic solar power modules. However, we are able to acquire other modules for specific customer orders.

Mountings for solar modules

There are two types of mountings for SCHOTT photovoltaics (PV).

1. On top mountings are more common and are designed to be fitted on top of existing roofing. On top mountings are more ideally suited to addition or renovation projects as the structure of the roof is unaffected by the installation.
2. Roof integrated mountings are less common and are designed to replace the roofing and become a part of the building, which saves cost in new building projects and is more aesthetic.

SCHOTT POLY cells

SCHOTT POLY cells are wafer thin and produced using the internationally recognised patented method of Solar GmbH EFG, which differs from the standard method of production carving up a block of silicon. The patented method used by SCHOTT draws silicon directly from the silicon melt, which is shaped into a six metre octagonal tube. The octagonal tube is then cut with lasers into 100mm by 100mm wafers.

POLY cells have been used by solar module manufacturers for over 25 years and have been deployed in the most severe climatic conditions.
