High energy yields – consistently - After 10, 20 or 25 years
Over the years every technical device experiences a decline in performance – even solar modules. The question here though is how much – or better yet: How little? In a long-term study conducted by the renowned Fraunhofer-Institute the SCHOTT Solar modules still achieved over 90% of their performance even after 26 years. Experience that you can depend on, for a future-proof power plant on your roof.

Performance stability in day-to-day life - System examples
Reference system in Hocheim, Germany
This system with SCHOTT Solar modules was installed 10 years ago. During this time frame the energy yield was consistent, dependant on the annual solar radiation. 10 years of stable performance for a stable energy yield.
"Our system worked perfectly from the very beginning and withstood all kinds of weather. It achieved the yields we had hoped for and sometimes even exceeded them."
Energy yields
- Energy yields reference system in Hocheim, Germany, from 2001-2009. Yields depend on annual solar radiation.
- 10 year old photovoltaic system with SCHOTT Solar modules in Hochheim, Germany.
Reference system in Friedberg, Germany
13 years ago a solar system with SCHOTT Solar modules was installed in Friedberg, Germany. In the first years the operator used the electricity produced in his own household then, beginning in 2001, he fed his solar yields into the electric system. Up to now, thanks to a consistently high performance, he has benifited from reliable yields.
"The solar system is our old age insurance. I believe that especially in such difficult financial times solar energy is the safest investment. We use some of the solar energy, produced by the system, ourselves. This helps cover the additional costs for our house."
