Integrated thin-films: Würth's 70 W CIS module is now available also for BIPV applications.

The thin-film module has a nominal power of 70 W and
is based on the compound semiconductor CIS. For stability reasons, the
cover glass of the roof-integrated module (WS11007/4 mm TVG) is 1 mm
thicker than that of the rooftop module. Special hooks, attached to
wooden slats, allow the modules to be integrated into the roof in an
overlapping pattern. Vertical stripes made of synthetic material and
rubber, as well as connection endplates, guarantee the modules are
watertight after installation. The new system was developed with Swiss
Sustainable Systems AG in Bern, and is the same as the Swiss company's
MegaSlate solar roof tile, which contains crystalline solar cells.
Würth offers a 980 W system (14 modules, an inverter, and mounting
material) for a retail price of €5,500 ($6,370) before taxes. The
product can be ordered worldwide.
