UC Berkeley's Institute Gets Artistic Solar Roof with Sunpreme's Innovative Modules
Sunpreme's innovative solar modules have been installed on the rooftop of UC Berkeley's institute, marking a shift towards artistic rooftop designs. The system, featuring double-sided, frameless modules, is the largest solar power installation on the campus and aims to aid the institute in achieving LEED certification.
The rooftop is equipped with Sunpreme's GxB310 double-glass modules, which consist of 60 solar cells with an efficiency of 21.5%. These symmetrical modules optimize performance by utilizing sunlight from all directions. Their frameless construction eliminates the need for grounding, making installation easier and more cost-effective.
The 'Sunpreme Bifacial' modules can absorb light from both sides, increasing energy yield. This, coupled with their low-light behavior and temperature coefficient of -0.28%/C, makes them highly efficient. Sungevity, the installer, chose these modules for their reliability and aesthetic appeal.
The UC Berkeley institute's rooftop solar system, featuring Sunpreme's Bifacial modules, is not only a significant step towards sustainability but also a testament to the potential of artistic rooftop designs in the solar industry.
