SAN
ANTONIO, Sept. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Mission
Solar Energy is ready to set a new standard for toughness and
reliability as they introduce their
forward-thinking Defender Series by Mission Solar
concept module at RE+ in Anaheim
California on September 9.
The Defender Series by Mission Solar represents a significant
advancement in American solar module design, featuring
ultra-durable components tailored to withstand extreme
environmental challenges. The module is built with 4mm,
high-quality glass, making it highly resistant to hail damage, and
features an American-made steel frame that offers superior strength
and longevity.
"We understand that weather patterns are becoming more extreme,
and Mission Solar is committed to developing products that meet
these evolving challenges," said Sam
Martens, President of Mission Solar Energy. "The Defender
Series is our forward-looking response to these changes, combining
cutting-edge materials with our longstanding focus on quality.
Built for the long haul, this concept module showcases where
Mission Solar plans to head in the coming years."
Mission Solar has partnered with Origami Solar to
incorporate their innovative steel frames into the Defender Series.
Origami Solar's steel frames are domestically manufactured, adding
5.3% to 7.0% to the IRA domestic content bonus, and validated by
third-party test labs to deliver superior strength compared to
traditional aluminum frames. The frames come with a long-lasting
zinc-aluminum-magnesium coating that is proven to endure for 25+
years, and recycled steel frames contribute a 90% reduction in
greenhouse gas emissions compared to foreign aluminum frames.
"Origami Solar is proud to partner with Mission Solar to create
PV modules that can withstand increasingly severe weather," said
Tim Polega, Chief Commercial Officer
at Origami Solar. "Our stronger steel frames are produced in the
US, eliminating all foreign supply risk while creating US jobs. We
are excited to work with Mission Solar to make steel frames the
default choice for developers interested in improving domestic
content, increasing module reliability, reducing embodied carbon or
hopefully all three."
The Defender Series concept module, which will be utility-scale
size at RE+, is intended to demonstrate Mission Solar's vision for
the future. While this concept is not yet commercialized, plans are
in place to extend development to an all-black residential version,
expanding the benefits of this advanced technology to the rooftop
market.
In addition to unveiling the Defender Series, Mission Solar
Energy will also showcase other high-performance modules that are
available for immediate order, including:
- 410W MSE PERC 108HC
- 580-590W MSI TOPCon Bifacial 144HC, Dual Glass
- 545-555W MSI PERC Bifacial 144HC, Transparent
Backsheet
- 430W MSE 108HC TOPCon Module (available 2025)
