New High-Performance Solar Module Presented by Bavarian Specialist Jurawatt Passes all Tests with Flying Colors

Neumarkt, Germany (ots) - The Jurawatt GmbH, a small but
innovative company situated in the region of Upper Palatinate,
Bavaria, is known for its excellent technology solutions. Just in
time for the annual Intersolar trade show Jurawatt presents its
latest development: a high-performance solar module that resists
extreme heat conditions. Before its launch the new module had to
undergo a strict test program according to IEC / DIN requirements.
There it was put through its paces in a series of UV, temperature
cycle, humidity freeze and damp heat tests performed over a period of
3000 hours. In the end, the Jurawatt developers could proudly
announce that their latest product received top marks for all tested
criteria.

A look inside reveals one of the secrets behind the module's
astonishing heat resistance. It is coated with an ultra-thin film
offering a very high degree of transparency and translucency which
serves as a highly efficient thermally and electrically conductive
layer. The innovative design is complemented by another ultra-thin
material: white glass. It enables a dramatically improved heat
dissipation which is an essential prerequisite for an efficient
heating process. Moreover, a special coating with anti-reflective
qualities increases heat transmission and has a water and dirt
repellent effect. The combination of innovative features makes the
new module ideally suited for very hot regions with extreme climatic
conditions.

As a manufacturer of polycrystalline solar modules, Jurawatt's
current total capacity amounts to 45MW. The company deliberately
focuses on Germany as a base for its manufacturing activities,
selecting its suppliers accordingly. Jurawatt's modern production
technology is "Made in Germany" with the stringer, framing, busing
and other units being fully automated. Through specialized patents in
the field of process engineering the solar expert ensures highest
standards of precision. Since Jurawatt believes in the importance of
product development it invests massively in this area.

The family company was founded in 2010, closely guarded by the
J.v.G. Thoma GmbH with its more than 20 years of experience in the
solar sector. Jurawatt stands for tested quality and a strong sense
of responsibility: The company was awarded with the German eco-
labels TEC-Umweltsiegel and IEC-Siegel, obtained the CE marking for
its products and was tested and certified by the German Association
for Technical Inspection, TÜV-Nord. Jurawatt is a member of the PV
Cycle Association.

The new solar module will be available as of Q2 2011.
