A manufacturer of solar power modules now offers a 25-year linear power guarantee. Siliken’s guarantee is only provided by a very small number of manufacturing companies worldwide. The company says the guarantee ensures a 97% performance level for the module during the first year. From the second year through to the 25 year the performance of the module is guaranteed with a degradation level of less than or equal to 0.7% per year.

All photovoltaic modules suffer a certain degree of degradation that directly affects their power. Siliken says this linear guarantee allows checking the performance of their modules every year and asking for a replacement if they do not meet the minimum requirements. The company’s photovoltaic modules can be installed on both independent systems and grid connected systems, and are suitable for use on solar farms, industrial rooftops, for architectural integration or residential installations. They cover power ranges of up to 310 Wp with efficiencies of up to 16% and have a power tolerance of +3/0%.

Furthermore, Siliken modules are SGS certified in accordance with ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 and have obtained product certifications under Standards EN (IEC) 61215:2005, EN (IEC) 61730:2007 Safety Class A and EN (IEC) 61701:1999 Salt Mist Corrosion Testing from TÜV Rheinland and under Standard UL 1703 from Underwriters Laboratories and Intertek ETL for applications around the world. Siliken has also recently been issued with the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) seal of approval, making its photovoltaic modules suitable for all types of photovoltaic installation in the United Kingdom.
