PV in Paraguay: meeco to introduce German CIS modules in the off-grid market

11/10/2013

In October, meeco Group’s subsidiary meeco América Latina S.A. (Asunción, Paraguay) will offcially introduce CIS (copper indium gallium diselenide) solar photovoltaic (PV) modules made in Germany in the Paraguayan market.

Meeco América Latina is aiming to sell 150 Kilowatt (kW) of CIS modules as part of solar off-grid systems until the end of the year.

Meeco also sells solar water pumping systems in Paraguay

CIS PV modules perform well at high temperatures

Compared to polycrystalline solar modules, CIS modules offer a higher shadow resistance and more stability under high temperatures, reaching an 86.1 percent efficiency rate at 40 degrees Celsius environment temperature, heating up the module to 70 degrees Celsius. Polycrystalline photovoltaic modules reach only 79.9 under these conditions. CIS technology also presents best behavior under low light and low angle irradiation as under diffuse light conditions.

According to meeco, the CIS modules by Würth Solar also offer a better protection of edges and corners ensuring a safer transport and mounting on roofs or pillars and will be sold at a low price.

Rising interest in off-grid PV systems

“During the past years, the interest in solar solutions has continuously grown in Paraguay, and sun2flow solar-driven water pumping systems are already widespread,” explains Dr. Oliver Jann, Director of meeco América Latina. Particularly a trade fair in the former month has resulted in dozens of requests, Jann says.
