Achieving this milestone, marks tremendous progress for our company, says Boris von Bormann, Director of Sales for North America. Our highly aesthetic modules will provide installers and integrators, architects and project developers with new design options for unique solar applications and will set our existing and future partners apart from their competition. We are excited that we can now offer these solutions in the North American market.?
UL conducts extensive product safety assurance tests and evaluation to ensure their safety for consumer use. Product certification by UL for these systems provides Soltecture with an opportunity for impressive growth in the United States solar energy market at a significant moment in energy production history. Soltectures CIS thin-film semiconductors may be applied in business, municipal, and residential environments. Its black-glass modules are productive, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing.
Current module efficiency is at 12 percent average; highest 13 percent in production; goal of 14 percent is targeted for the next ten months. Even our second generationthe recently introduced high-efficiency modules of the LINION serieshas surpassed the manifold quality and stress tests required by UL, says Nikolaus Meyer, CEO and founder of Soltecture. We have been developing thin-film solar modules based on CIS semiconductors for over ten years as a German quality manufacturer. We will achieve an efficiency of 14 percent within the coming year.
Soltectures building-integrated solutions transform otherwise unused surfaces into small, decentralized power plants, not only supplying clean energy but also helping to reduce costs. For example, Soltectures flat-roof system enables previously unusable lightweight roofs with low load-bearing capacities to be utilized for photovoltaic systems. Compared with other flat-roof systems on the market, Soltectures system sets the highest standards in prefabrication, requiring considerably less installation effort than conventional systems.
Soltecture has developed key partnerships with installers and integrators and is now focusing on further expanding its distribution network.
