ASE 300

The world’s single most powerful photovoltaic module, the SCHOTT ASE-300-DGF/50, is an industrial grade solar power module that delivers maximum performance in large systems that require higher voltages.  Fast installation is ensured due to multicontact plug-n-play connectors and unique mounting systems.  Every 18 cells in series come with a bypass diode protection, thus minimizing power loss and mitigating overheating/safety problems.  For protection against the most challenging conditions, the module is equipped with moisture impermeable glass on both sides.

Faster Installation

• Large surface area requires fewer interconnects and structural members
• Multi-Contact Plug-n-Play connectors mean source-circuit wiring takes just minutes
• Unique mounting systems available for commercial roofs eliminate need for traditional mounting rails, heavy ballast, and roof penetrations

More Reliability

• Bypass diode protection for every 18 solar cells in series, thus minimizing power loss, and mitigating overheating/safety problems
• Advanced encapsulation system ensures steady long-term module performance by eliminating degradation associated with traditional EVA-encapsulated modules
• Moisture impermeable glass on both sides of the module protects agains tears, perforations, fire, electrical conductivity, delamination and moisure
• Patented no-lead, high-reliability soldering system guarantees long life and ensures against environmental harm should the module break or be discarded

Higher Quality

• Each of the module's 216 individual semi-crystalline silicon cells is inspected and power matched to ensure consistent performance between modules
• Every module is tested utilizing a calibrated solar simulator to ensure that the electrical ratings are within the specified tolerance for power, voltage, and current
• Module-to-module wiring loss is factored into the module's labeled electrical ratings by testing through the module's cable/connector assemblies
• ± 45 tolerance means better current matching, lower mismatch losses

Independently Certified

• The SCHOTT ASE-300-DGF/50 is independently certified to meet IEEE 1262, IEC 61215, and UL 1703 Standards
• It is also the only standard module in the industry to received a UL (Underwriters Laboratories) Class A fire rating
