Barysol - Model Amorphous -Solar Modules
Various chemical elements are used in the production of amorphous modules. The original output decreases heavily in the first 1,000 hours of service, but this degradation has already been taken into account in their manufacture, which is why amorphous modules have a higher output when first delivered. After the initial aging period, the output remains stable. Thanks to the new thin-layer technology, amorphous modules can nowadays be manufactured extremely cheaply and in an environmentally friendly manner.
This technology is used in most small-scale applications (pocket calculators, clocks etc.), but it is also being increasingly used for larger systems. The service life is nowadays more or less the same as with the silicon modules. They generally have a homogenous, reddish black, slightly transparent appearance. Because amorphous modules are often considerably cheaper than the others, their price per Watt is particularly favourable. The two disadvantages in terms of cost are the more complicated assembly and the need for a larger frame.
