Lightweight PV Module

Balcony Lightweight Modules

CTM over 95%, 5400 Pa mechanical load tested, hail tested — light enough for one person to hang on a railing.

Balcony solar is the fastest-growing distributed segment in Europe and the one with the least tolerance for weight. The module is installed by the occupant, hung on a railing that was never structurally assessed, over a public footpath.

So the specification is not really about watts. It is about whether the panel is light enough to handle alone, survives hail and wind load without shedding glass, and holds its cell-to-module ratio despite the compromises the format forces.

Why this one

  • CTM above 95%Very little of the cell power is lost between cell and module, which matters on a format where total area is fixed by the size of the railing.
  • Damp-heat performance1× IEC power attenuation under 3%; 2× IEC power attenuation under 4%.
  • 5400 Pa mechanical load testedPower loss under 5% at full mechanical load test.
  • Hail testedNo major visual defects after the hail test, with leakage current insulation testing carried out afterwards.

Questions about Balcony Lightweight Modules

How does it attach to a railing?

Mounting hardware is specified against the railing type on the project. The module's low weight is what makes single-person installation possible in the first place.

What happens in a hail storm?

The published hail test result is no major visual defects, followed by a leakage current insulation test to confirm electrical integrity.

Does it come in a black finish?

Yes — the high-reflection black backsheet series is designed for exactly this kind of visible installation, with an average CTM gain of +2.66% over conventional black.
