MECHANICSBURG, Pa., July 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- In a recent benchmark test, the Photovoltaic Institute of Berlin (PI) tested various solar module brands under extreme temperatures. Modules were placed in a climate chamber and exposed to temperatures ranging from -40 degrees F to 185 degrees F in the first phase of the test. In the final stage of the test, the modules had to withstand temperatures of more than 185 degrees F for eight hours and another hour at over 212 degrees F.

The result showed that not all modules could endure the temperature fluctuations equally. After the experiments, several modules exhibited physical damage and when further tested, revealed significant efficiency loss. However, the Antaris Solar module, AS M 185, had no physical damage or impaired performance after either test.
Antaris Solar Founder and CEO Dr. Michael Goede is excited about the results. He stated, "The results show that the ongoing quality improvement to our modules pays off." According to Goede, good heat-resistance is an important feature of Antaris Solar modules because they are intended to allow long-lasting usage, even in areas with extreme climate conditions, such as tropical regions and deserts.
