SCHOTT Solar inaugurated the world’s first production site for both PV modules and utility-scale CSP in Albuquerque, NM. 300 green-collar jobs have been created. The 200,000 square-foot facility represents an initial investment of over I00 million US dollars in the Albuquerque region from the global SCHOTT Solar group.

It all began with space research. A reliable source of energy that would be able to withstand the conditions in outer space was required. One of the previous companies of SCHOTT Solar was a technological leader in this sector and equipped over 300 satellites with solar modules. Today this treasure trove of experience also flows into our modules, which makes them exceptionally durable.

The long-established German company SCHOTT Solar operates worldwide and started with the development and manufacturing of components for the solar industry in I958. It is not really surprising therefore that SCHOTT Solar is the only company to combine under one roof photovoltaic competence and leading know-how in receiver technology for solar power plants with parabolic trough technology. Experience and competence that no other solar manufacturer has to offer.

Over 90 % performance stability.

In a long-term study conducted by the Fraunhofer-Institute the tested SCHOTT Solar modules still achieved over 90% of their original performance after 25 years. For consumers that means decades of reliable performance which equals higher yields over time.
