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 100 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.

25-year performance warranty.

SCHOTT Solar provides a 25-year performance warranty for its modules. This ensures that performance losses caused by aging do not exceed 10% in the first 10 years and do not exceed 20% in the 15 years thereafter. Samples of the SCHOTT Solar modules have demonstrated even better performance values as stated in the long-term study by the Fraunhofer Institute.

The long-established German company SCHOTT Solar operates worldwide with 51 years of experience in the development and manufacturing of components for the solar industry. It is not really surprising 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. An experience and competence edge that no other solar manufacturer has to offer.

In a long-term study conducted by the renowned Fraunhofer Institute over a period of 24 years, tested samples of SCHOTT Solar modules distinguished themselves with an extremely low degradation of an average of 5.5%. For consumers that means decades of reliable performance which equals higher yields over time.
