The lightweight modules reportedly weigh 12 kilograms, feature a front made of toughened glass and were developed for roofs with limited load-bearing capacity. Each module incorporates 108 half-cells, delivers 410 watts and is said to enable solar power generation at relatively low cost.
The installation and training of local installers took place on a port building in Lisbon. According to Sunoyster, the modules achieve an efficiency of almost 21 per cent. The project was completed in a short timeframe and is intended as a model for future applications. Sunoyster, known for its dual-axis tracker system, appears to be expanding its portfolio with the new lightweight modules, providing a solution for roofs with limited load-bearing capacity. (nhp)
