In a joint design partnership that is intended to maximise power generation and cost reduction, SCHOTT Solar and SolarEdge have embarked upon a new agreement that will see the two companies collaborate on the development of a new PV panel-integrated power harvesting system that will be embedded into SCHOTT Solar’s modules.

The move is intended to work on upping the optimal power yield while reducing obstacles and costs associated with installation and maintenance. The development is currently in the testing phase.

“SolarEdge is an innovative company offering an original multi-disciplinary system solution that we at SCHOTT Solar are extremely impressed with,” said Jürgen Fortenbacher, Head Strategy & Business Development at SCHOTT Solar. “We believe that the outcome of our partnership will significantly enhance power output.”
