World‘s best Glass-Glass PV-Modules World‘s best Glass-Glass PV-Modules through outstanding properties • Light weight: Two only 2 mm thin sheets of glass, 12 kg m² • High reliability through tempered glass back instead of plastic backsheet • Extreme durability through Hi-tec tempering and lamination process comparable windshields of cars • Highest wind load > 2400 Pa and snow load > 5400 Pa • Best performance even in case of very high temperatures • Extended warranty of 30 years, 50+ year lifetime

< 2mm physically tempered solar glass EVA Solar cell EVA < 2mm physically tempered solar glass

-> Almaden modules produce 100 % more lifetime power compared to competitors.

Almaden‘s modules are resistant against every kind of climate. Cold temperature with snow:

Low temperatures are prevailing in countries of the northern hemisphere but also during the night in desert areas. All materials have to withstand temperatures below 30°Cel. as well as fast changes to high temperatures up to 85°Cel..

Desert climate:

Desert areas include very high temperatures of up to 85°Cel. in the inside of the module. Temperatures change in fast cycle. In many cases the material doesn‘t withstand these changes over their lifespan of 30 – 50 years. As a result, Almaden‘s modules loose very little power compared to other cells.

Salt water:

Salt and also air-borne chemicals are very aggressive and a threat to the modules materials. Glass is the first choice to withstand these threats.

Hot and humide climate:

Is a special threat to modules. A chemical reaction with most foils like EVA takes place and as a result citric acid builds up. Consequently, the temperature rises and the acid boils, which destroys the modules over months and years. Almaden established a unique technique in order to oppose these threats and protect the cells.

8 Highlights (unique position features) of our glass - glass modules (tempered solar glass) 1. Laminated safety glass - VSG

(comparable to windshields of cars) made of 2x2mm tempered solar glass

3. High stability in case of wind and snow load

2. Easy and

waterproof assembly

4. Appealing design

6. High stability in

combination with a low weight (12 kg per m2)

8. Hi-Tec „Engineered in Germany“ 7. Free of PID

with a warranty of 30 years

5. High light transmission.

Different degrees of transparency are possible (40%, 11%, 10%)

Almaden modules made of laminated safety glass bear the highest loads: During the test shown in the picture, a VW Passat drove on top of the module. During this experiment the module bent, but held the load. As a result, no cracks were visible on the glass surface. We almost couldn‘t believe the result and started further investigation. We started a bending test. The result was overwhelming: Even after an extreme deflection of 55 mm with 1000 cycles, the glass and later the laminate remained totally intact and - even more amazing: there were no microcracks in the solar cells and thus no performance limitations of the modules. This is illustrated in the two electroluminescence photos which show the solar cells before (on the left side) and after 1000 bending cycles. 30 years Warranty The structure of all Almaden modules with 2 sheets of hardened glass ensures an extremely long lifetime of over 50 years (proven in aging tests). The glass sheets are welded together with a particularly durable EVA film (lamination). The structure is similar to that of windshields of cars. For physical reasons, the power produced degrades slightly over time.

Large Parking Lots Large PVPV Parking Lots Our kits are modular expandable and allow the construction of large units for parking lots. They also offer solutions for the future of electric mobility and contribute to a positive image of companies, cities and municipalities. Due to the modular design of the systems and the installation, building integration can easily be achieved. Our systems offer protection from the elements and are also small power plants for decentralized energy supply. The integration of charging devices for e-bikes and e-cars is optional. Our modular expandable kits are also perfect for the parking areas of supermarkets and shopping malls, including the connection paths.

With our modular system it is easy to find the perfect solution for every parking area, from small to large. This image shows a project with 182 Carports XXL covering a parking area in Germany. The idea is to use a combination of basic carports and extentions in order to make an optimal use of the existing space.

Dual Yield: Electricity through PV and fish production in open aquaculture ponds

The demand of fish increases worldwide. Aquaculture enable an efficient and environmentally friendly production of this important food. The usage of aquaculture requires energy consuming equipment for water circulation, water filtration as well as processing and cooling of the fish. In the cold season heating is needed. A lack of energy is the cause why many projects fail. AquaPV provides the unique possibility of making energy available even in off-grid regions.

Annual Yie ld 6.000 kW h with M60

• Protection of heavy solar radiation • Can reduce the growth of algae and decrease posible heating of the pond • Versatile range for using the produced energy e.g. for pumps, cooling units, processing units, heatings or lighting • Choosing modules with Serie different transparencies is s 66 0/5 possible segm ents • Modules build a protection ,5k Wp against dirt and robbers
