When it comes to reliable and environmentally-friendly

generation of electrical power from sunlight, solar modules from Siemens provide the perfect solution. Manufactured in compliance with the most stringent quality standards, they are designed to withstand the toughest environmental conditions and are characterized by their long service life. Siemens Solar photovoltaic modules efficiently generate power by converting the energy contained in sunlight directly into electricity.

They have no moving parts, operate silently, use no fuel, and produce no waste. Built for long-term dependability, all Siemens Solar modules are covered by a limited warranty on power output. Siemens proprietary "PowerMax" process optimization includes a special refining technique for ingots, a clean room semiconductor grade production process and a multi-stage proprietary TOPS TM process (Texture Optimized Pyramidal Surface). The TOPS process incorporates the formation of textured pyramids on the surface of the solar cell. These pyramids are then treated with special oxides to passivate the surface and optimize the cells optical properties for maximum absorption of photons from the sun's 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.

Features:

* Single crystalline Power Max solar cells, textured and anti-reflection-coated for maximum

ratios

* Rugged weather-proof design

* Universal range of applications
