Solar Module SM50-H
When it comes to reliable and environmentally-friendly generation of electricity from sunlight, solar modules from Siemens provide the perfect solution. Manufactured in compliance with the most stringent quality standards, Siemens Solar modules are designed to withstand the toughest environmental conditions and are characterized by their long service life. Siemens Solar modules are covered by a 25-year limited warranty on power output your guarantee of trouble-free solar power generation. PowerMax technology Siemens proprietary PowerMax technology optimizes the energy production of individual cells and solar modules for all types of environmental conditions. PowerMax process optimization includes a special refining technique for ingots, a clean room semiconductor grade production process, and a multistage proprietary TOPS (Texture Optimized Pyramidal Surface) process. The TOPS process incorporates the formation of textured pyramids on the surface of the solar cell. These pyramids are then specially treated to passivate the surface which optimizes the cells optical properties for maximum absorption of photons from the suns light. TOPS also maximizes photon absorption from direct and diffused light (typical under cloudy conditions). This means that light absorption is especially high, even at low light levels. Siemens PowerMax solar cells deliver maximum energy throughout the day.
