PHOTON MODULE TEST
TEST WINNER
Length 65.94 in (1675 mm)
Width 39.41 in (1001 mm)
Height 1.22 in (31 mm)1)
Frame Aluminum
Weight 46.7 lbs (21,2 kg)
Attractive design
The homogeneous black surface and black module frames create a visual elegance which
fulfils even the most demanding requirements in terms of design and architecture.
German quality standards
Fullyautomated production lines and seamless monitoring of the process and material
ensure the quality that the company sets as its benchmark for its sites worldwide.
Outstanding products
SolarWorld modules have received top marks in numerous independent performance
tests:
In Photon test laboratory's endurance test SolarWorld's modules occupied first place in
2008 and in 2009 and were assessed by the ÖKOTEST consumer magazine as "very good".
SolarWorld Plus sorting
Plussorting guarantees the highest system efficiency. Only modules that achieve the
designated nominal performance or greater in performance tests are dispatched.
25 years linear performance guarantee*
SolarWorld guarantees a maximum degeneration in performance of 0.7% p.a. for more
than 25 years a clear additional benefit compared with the conventional twostage
industry guarantees. In addition there is a product warranty that covers 5 years.
*in accordance with the applicable SolarWorld service certificate at purchase
