FuturaSun introduced the Silk Nova Pure module with integrated True Rays anti-soiling technology
The company showcased colored modules for architectural applications alongside high-power modules
The portfolio also includes NZIA-aligned and HW5 hail-resistant modules targeting diverse installation scenarios
Italian solar module manufacturer FuturaSun introduced its Silk Nova Pure Solar module at Intersolar Europe 2026. The module incorporates True Rays anti-soiling technology developed by Kastus Technologies. According to the company, unlike conventional anti-soiling surface coatings, True Rays is permanently integrated into the module's front glass during manufacturing to prevent surface soiling. The nanotechnology combines photocatalytic activity with a hydrophilic surface to reduce the accumulation of dust and organic contaminants and improve the natural cleaning effect of rainfall.
The technology can reduce cleaning frequency while improving long-term energy yield. According to the company, based on a comparison between a standard 650 W PV module and the Silk Nova Pure module, a 1% increase in energy yield could generate approximately $22.75 in additional value per module over 25 years. The company estimates that the same improvement could translate into around $35 million in additional lifetime value for a 1 GW utility-scale solar plant, depending on site conditions and the operating environment.
FuturaSun showcased the Silk Nova Color modules, featuring Red, Orange, Silver and Green Duetto modules for architectural and building-integrated PV (BIPV) applications. All these modules consist of 96 half-cut cells based on the G12R wafer format. The Red module is designed for traditional red tile roofs and historical areas, while the Orange variant targets terracotta tile roofs and heritage buildings.
The Silver module is intended for contemporary rooftops and façades. These modules deliver 400 W of power and also feature color-coated glass with anti-reflective coating. The Green Duetto differs with its glass-glass bifacial design, offering 400-410 W. According to the company, it is intended for greenfield installations and fencing applications.
The Silk Nova Premium Max Duetto, designed for agrivoltaics and C&I installations, reaches an efficiency of 23.18% for a rated power output of 720 W. Built with 132 G12R-based half-cut cells, the module features a silver frame and white-patterned back glass.
The Silk Nova RE Duetto offers up to 645 W using 156 M10 n-type bifacial half-cut cells. According to the company, the module is intended for European projects and is designed for applications aligned with the Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA) framework.
The Silk Nova Duetto delivers 510-515 W with a maximum module efficiency of 23.15%. The module features a black frame with white-patterned back glass. This module is designed for optimized frontal performance.
FuturaSun also exhibited the Silk Rhino module, consisting of 96 M10 n-type half-cut cells to generate 445-455 W of power. The module is certified to the HW5 hail-resistance class, incorporates 4 mm tempered glass and 2 additional aluminum reinforcement bars, and withstands snow loads up to 7,800 Pa.
The company backs all its showcased modules with a 15-year product warranty, while the glass-glass Duetto series carries a 30-year performance warranty and the Silk Color and Silk Rhino modules are covered by a 25-year performance warranty.
In addition to its module portfolio, FuturaSun also showcased the 3-phase FuturaPulse hybrid inverter with a rated power of up to 15 kW. According to the company, the inverter is designed for residential and commercial applications and is also compatible with energy storage systems.
