Schüco MPE modules in the AL series

Innovative thin- film laminates

Schüco MPE modules in the AL 01 series are characterized by their impressive performance and their high fabrication quality: the amorphous cell technology allows optimum power output at high operating temperatures, with diffuse light or non-optimum module orientation. This ensures maximum annual outputs. Due to the positive output tolerance of +5/-0 Wp, the rated output is always achieved or exceeded.

Environmental protection

Only small quantities of raw materials are needed to produce Schüco MPE thin-film modules in the AL 01 series, and the modules do not contain cadmium or lead. The energy payback period is approximately 1.5 years.
