Austrian PV module supplier Sonnenkraft has created a new glass-glass panel designed for integration into red tile roofs. The module “made in Austria” with its terracotta red color can be integrated into roofs or facades of buildings.
“The panel can also be used in buildings where official requirements prohibit the use of conventional modules,” the company said in a statement.
The HC Alpin terracotta module is based on 108 half-cut monocrystalline tunnel oxide-passivated contact (TOPCon) solar cells. It measures 1,748mm x 1,143mm x 40mm and weighs 26.0kg.
The 400W product has an energy conversion efficiency of 20.02%. The no-load voltage is 38.50 V and the short-circuit current is 13.96 A. It can operate with a maximum system voltage of 1,000 V.
It has a temperature coefficient -0.32% per degree Celsius and has low encapsulation losses according to the manufacturer. It comes with a 15-year product warranty and a 25-year performance warranty.
“It ensures that monument protection and sustainable energy production go hand in hand,” says Peter Prasser, director of Sonnenkraft. “The terracotta module is also the perfect solution for design-conscious customers with red tile roofs.”
