Tier 1 solar module manufacturer Vikram Solar announces the availability of three new product lines for pre-order in the US, featuring half-cell modules with power up to 425 watts and a 27-year linear power warranty; and the company’s first bifacial module in both glass-glass and glass with transparent back sheet architecture. “Vikram Solar continues to be a global solar industry leader in module reliability and performance warranties, and we look forward to expanding further in the US with these powerful product options,” said Gyanesh Chaudhary, Managing Director and CEO, Vikram Solar. Vikram Solar was named a top performer in PVEL’s 2019 Reliability Scorecard on the Damp Heat, Dynamic Mechanical Load Sequence, and Potential-Induced Degradation (PID) tests. The SOMERA Grand Ultima Max modules with 150 Mono PERC
half-cells ranging from 405 to 425 Wp have a 27-year linear power warranty with shipment to the US starting from January 2020. “The SOMERA Grand half-cell module offers superior price performance. Half-cells generate only half the current of standard cells, which lowers heat generation and increases reliability and production. Yet the manufacturing process for the half-cells adds little to the cost, making the SOMERA Grand Ultima Max an excellent choice for applications requiring maximum output at a cost-competitive price point,” said Jay Sharma, Country Managing Director, Vikram Solar Inc. Americas.
