Due to this consideration, the amount of thermal energy will be greater, hence also the performance of the hybrid system increases proportionally. In relazione ai test termici appena conclusi sui moduli ibridi TWINSUN di Eclipse Italia srl, con assorbitore da 1,51 mq di superficie, attestiamo che la stessa Eclipse Italia s.r.l. ha nel frattempo provveduto a migliorare l assorbitore portando le dimensioni dello stesso a circa 1,574 mq di superficie che corrisponde a circa il 4,3% di superficie captante in più (vedi Annex # 4). In conseguenza a quanto sopra anche la quantità di energia termica, quindi la performance del sistema ibrido aumenta in modo proporzionale. age 6 of 22

Compared to modules under test, we have verified that Eclipse Italia srl has increased by 4.3% the surface of the absorber now equal to 1,574 square meters (1630 x 966 mm). Therefore we can estimate that the majority recovered energy from the absorber, increases in a proportional way the peak power that passes from 620.4 W measured to approximate 647.1 W. Rispetto ai moduli sottoposti a test, abbiamo verificato che Eclipse Italia srl ha aumentato del 4,3 % la superficie dell'assorbitore ora pari a 1,574 mq (1630 x 966 mm). ossiamo stimare quindi che la maggior energia recuperata dall'assorbitore, faccia aumentare in modo proporzionale la potenza di picco che passa dai 620,4 W rilevati, ad approssimativi 647,1 W. ----------------- End of Test Report No. AR 13 TEST 089 Rev.3 ----------------- age 20 of 22
