Chint/Astronergy Introduces Lower Cost All Black Poly Alternative Module for Residential Use

HANGZHOU, China, Aug. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Chint/Astronergy today announced the introduction of the CHSM6610P (BL) module, a lower cost alternative module for residential use.

Today in the U.S., dark/black modules are used on residential homes due to aesthetic demands. These modules are usually Mono-crystalline cells with a white or black back sheet paired with a dark anodized frame. Due to manufacturing processing and component differences, these modules are more expensive than the traditionally well-known "blue"Poly-crystalline modules.

Scientists at Astronergy Solar have developed improved design and manufacturing techniques for generating a darker-looking Poly-crystalline module as a direct alternative for Mono-crystalline modules that are typically used in residential market segment. Visibly, the darker appearance Poly-crystalline module is achieved by the use of non-visible soldering method, black back sheet, black frame and poly cells that are very dark in appearance due to coating and processing techniques.

"The impact of the CHSM6610P (BL) should be significant to the end users. The approximate cost savings over a mono-crystalline module is roughly 10%." Astronergy Solar North America General Manager, Mr. Thomas Koerner commented.
