When purchasing solar modules, many clients orientate themselves around theoretically determined efciency levels in order to calculate future energy output. The declared efciency is based on simulated Standard Test Conditions (STC), which are built solely on circumstances in the laboratory. Therefore, these parameters reect real

environmental conditions only to a limited extent. The average values in reality, that is to say Most Frequent Conditions (MFC), lead to a signicant change in energy output of the various module types. It is in this way that micromorph thin-lm modules from Inventux are substantially more powerful under real conditions than crystalline modules.

All module types show module temperatures that are signicantly higher than the ambient temperature ! Problem: In order to reach the STC-simulation module temperature of 25 C at 1,000 W/m2 irradiation, the ambient temperature needs to be at -13 C

Inventux modules maintain the majority of their excellent performance even with increasing module temperature The performance of most other modules drops signicantly Inventux Plus: Increasing energy yield and returns with higher temperature when compared to crystalline modules

Inventux modules are profit-stars with returns higher than 8 % compared to crystalline modules*
Inventux modules are todays high yield alternative for tomorrow. Through our micromorph thin-lm technology Inventux modules offer a higher energy production under real conditions, in other words: Most Frequent Conditions (MFC), and with that automatically higher returns than, for instance, conventional crystalline solar modules. Inventux modules an investment that pays off in reality and not just under simulated laboratory conditions. protable. sustainable. micromorph

Cumulative generation of energy [kWh/kWp (DC)]

The measurement shows that micromorph photovoltaic modules generate substantially higher yields due to their technological properties. Compared to conventional crystalline modules, the micromorph thin-lm technology can even reach a higher energy efciency in Germany of about 7-10 percent per year. In other words: With a 1 kWp system, up to 100 kWh more energy is gained annually.
