21. High Weather Resistance and h igh mechanical stability is the basis for a long time durability The most important product features of SCHOTT Solar modules 1. Structures front glass: Less reflection, higher efficiency, lower output degradation 7. Non-extruded, torsion resistant aluminum profile frame: Water cannot freeze, while the design offers max structural integrity 6. High-performance adhesion used to permanently apply the laminate to the frame: continous mechanical stability 8. Thermally hardened glass: high mechanical stability 2. Frame profile flattened towards the glass: increased ability for self-cleaning and drainage 9. Cer-doped glass: increased UV resistance 3. Weather-resistant junction box 5. Optimized distance between frame and cell: low shading 4. Optimized cell distances: to protect against stress breakage and for long term stability

26. Major advantage of a PVDH system for electricity generation in the GCC region: Solar Electricity is available when consumption is at its peak: When A/Cs are in use.

31. There is a lack of regulation in place to assist with the development of a RE/Solar market in the GCC region. The growing demand for electricity and the lack of a grid system or shortages in many areas = solar opportunities. We can wait for regulators to create the environment needed for growth .... or seize opportunities that surround us by adopting a creative approach. The choice is ours!
