PRISMA 4.0 Technology
PRISMA 4.0 Technology
Unique construction
Thicker glass with a prismatic pattern, advanced high-density POE copolymers and a unique lamination recipe are among the industrial choices and innovations behind our unique construction model.
PRISMA 4.0 technology protects the silicon circuit inside the module. Its patented frame creates a structural “plate effect” when the module is exposed to accidental stress, including hail impact and foot traffic during its service life. This unique construction model delivers greater durability and up to eight times higher hail resistance than standard PV modules.
8x
greater hail resistance
3x
greater mechanical robustness
Snow-load resistance up to 750 kg/m², with exceptional robustness and durability.
PRISMA glass with 4 mm thickness
Maximum protection for the silicon circuit, thanks to market-leading front-glass resistance.
Built to last
A high-density polymer layer of over 400 g/cm³ and a special lamination cycle lasting more than 18 minutes: almost twice the market standard.
Independent studies
The studies were carried out in collaboration with the University of Brescia, based on IEC standards and additional test approaches drawn from the aeronautical and nautical sectors.
The studies confirmed the data presented above, as shown in the following extract.
Market research
Several studies by Clean Energy Associates indicate that many PV modules on the market are too fragile and do not sufficiently protect the silicon circuit inside them. In 76% of cases, the circuit may already be compromised during installation or by standard weather events.
Results achieved
Based on the results obtained and on a phenomenological statistical model, we obtain further distinctive and surprising results.
PRISMA 4.0 technology reduces exposure to external stress by more than two thirds compared with a conventional product.
–25% fire risk
–25% performance loss
+25% ROI over 10 years, in any condition
FAQ
PRISMA 4.0 is a TORRI technology developed to increase the structural robustness of Made-in-Italy PV modules and protect the silicon circuit from hail, impact and mechanical stress.
Hail can cause micro-cracks and internal damage to photovoltaic cells. A more resistant module better protects the investment and reduces the risk of performance loss over time.
Yes. TORRI states that its modules with PRISMA 4.0 technology achieve high levels of robustness, including against snow load.
Yes. PRISMA 4.0 was developed to improve the module’s structural protection and reduce the risk of invisible damage to the silicon circuit.
PRISMA 4.0 is used in TORRI’s main PV modules, including Half Cell 4.0, Silvered 4.0, Integra ECO-RED and Integra Total Black.
