also solar also announced that its aleo S_18 module has passed the salt spray test. On 8 April 2011, aleo solar AG was granted the certificate by the Swiss certification body SGS Société Générale de Surveillance SA. The salt spray test is a completely voluntary quality test.

Certification from this independent body is based on IEC 61701:1995 / DIN EN 61701:2000-8 and confirms the premium quality of aleo modules even under adverse environmental and weather conditions, such as the salt-laden air found in coastal regions. Solar modules can be damaged by salty rain or salt-laden humidity not just in coastal areas but also at inland locations. Dried salt remnants can also be reactivated by rain or humidity.

“Our sales activities in the UK got off to a good start and people here are really embracing the concept of renewable energies”, said Giovanni Buogo, Sales Manager Europe at aleo solar AG.
