New SCHOTT ASI 86 thin film modules

SCHOTT Solar, the manufacturer of solar components, had its new manufacturing facility opened by Thuringia's First Minister Dieter Althaus just last November. The new factory in Jena produces the SCHOTT ASI thin film module. Production got underway as planned, and the first palettes are already en route to the SCHOTT sales partners. The SCHOTT Solar sales partners see the new encapsulated SCHOTT ASI 86 thin film module as a valuable extension to the product portfolio. “The production quantities for 2008 are almost all sold already” says Michael Schmidt, Sales Manager at SCHOTT Solar.

Due to its dimensions, the SCHOTT ASI 86 is particularly well suited for large roofs and open spaces such as can be found in agriculture. It produces around 86 Watts nominal power output. Especially with a less favourable roof orientation and in warmer regions, the ASI modules produce a higher energy yield than crystalline modules. The energy pay back time of SCHOTT ASI 86 modules is less than two years. The convenient installation is also a positive economic factor; the ready to use light weight SCHOTT ASI 86 glass-foil-modules are designed for a simple and inexpensive system integration.

SCHOTT ASI 86 technical details:
- Nominal power output: 86 Wp
- Maximum system voltage: 1000 V
- Weight: 19 kg
- Dimensions: 1308 mm x 1108 mm
- Frame height: 50 mm
- Connections: Tyco socket with bypass diode, Tyco plug
