BAUER Solar
BAUER has a long history of excellence in German engineering and has grown to one of the leading names in solar in Europe, with more than 20 years of experience under its belt.
BAUER GmbH began as a manufacturer of electrical wiring, control and alternative electrical systems in the 1980s.
The company became a name in the solar industry in 2003 with the launch of BAUER Solar, and has expanded across Europe and the globe in the years since then, offering a robust range of solar panels which can meet the needs of all possible clients.
Today, BAUER Solar operates in 56 countries around Europe and North America, delivering 5GW worth of production capacity and a highly satisfied customer base.
In 2023/24 BAUER launched their Glass-Glass Module series implementing N-Type TOPCon Bifacial half-cell technology for their most impressive options yet.
Highly Efficient N-Type TOPCon Solar Cells
The N-Type TOPCon solar cells in BAUER Glass-Glass range have some of the highest efficiency levels which can be found in solar panels today.
N-Type TOPCon sells typically outperform P-Type and PERC solar modules in terms of their overall efficiency, even without the bifacial technology.
The 445W BAUER Glass-Glass Panels, among the most powerful available for residential buyers, boast a module efficiency of 22.3%.
N-Type solar cell technology is also the best available for long lifespans and a lower degradation rate of a solar panel’s performance over time. BAUER Glass-Glass Panels suffer an annual power degradation rate of just 0.4%
Bifacial Solar Panels Deliver Additional Power
BAUER Glass-Glass solar modules are equipped with the latest bifacial half-cells which boost their performance beyond what is achievable with conventional solar panel designs, giving homeowners a greater return on their investment.
The Bifacial cell design means that the solar panels can absorb light from both the front and rear, delivering a significant increase to their efficiency levels.
The yield of each solar panel can be increased by as much as 30% depending on the albedo of the surface behind them, and the sunlight where they are installed.
The double glass frame with a transparent backsheet ensures that light is not absorbed pointlessly by the frame of the solar panel, giving it a greater chance of being put to use again.
Extreme Durability and Extended Lifespan
BAUER latest solar panel range is made with Glass on Glass front and back sheets which create durable, long lasting, and aesthetically pleasing solar panels.
Each panel is made with toughened glass 2mm thick on each side which creates a surface which is resistant to scratching and impacts, and dirt repellant.
The glass-glass case makes the solar panels less susceptible to microcracking from
This resistance to scratching and microcracking helps extend the lifespan of the solar panels by protecting them from damage which could degrade their performance overtime.
The toughened glass is able to withstand loads of up to 500kg per metre squared, ensuring that they will not buckle under any level of strain they might be exposed to.
30 Year Warranties and Performance Guarantee
BAUER is confident enough in the durability and performance of their solar panels that they offer best-in-class 30-year Product and Performance Warranties for their solar panels.
The 30-Year Product Warranty offers peace of mind for homeowners if their solar panels should take damage over the course of their lifespan.
The Linear Performance Warranty guarantees a minimum performance of 87.4% of the solar panels’ original output after a period of 30 years.
The panels should suffer no more than a 1% loss in their first year of operation, and a maximum of 0.4% each year thereafter.
The extremely slow loss of efficiency and best in class performance guarantee warranty means homeowners will continue to see strong power output and savings from their solar panels even after decades of use.
Fire and Weather Protection
The double-glazed glass frame of BAUER solar panels offers maximum protection from fire and the elements.
The panels have a Fire Class A certification and have been tested against rain and hail of up to 30mm in size, certified by the Swiss SUPSI PVLAb with hail resistance class HW3.
BAUER solar panels are protected against any accidents, fires, or extreme weather events they are likely to encounter.
Aesthetically Pleasing Solar Panels
The elegant glass frame of BAUER solar panels is an aesthetically pleasing design which first well in any setting, with clean lines and no bulky distractions.
Customers can choose between the slight variations in appearance of the Black design, fully transparent Pure option, or the White of the Performance module for whichever fits their environment best.
The panels have dimensions of 1762mm x 1134mm x 30mm, and come in at 24.5kg per module.
