I not sure how much knowledge you have about Thin film PV; so I would like to take this opportunity to explain the differences between our Thin Film PV and Crystalline.
As you can see from the table below there are pro’s and con’s for both systems, the con’s for thin film is the area it requires. But now the UK Government are reducing large scale systems FIT; roof space is not a problem for the commercial clients. They still want PV, and the best system for then now will be a 50 kWp system (nominal power = 49.72 kWp).
The pro’s, our system can be used on most facing roofs (S, E and W) even on North facing roofs you will achieve generation.
Our system does not require direct sunlight, as they work of the ambient light waves, via our Triple layer amorphous geranium silicon (a-Si).
| | Thin Film PV | Crystalline PV |
| Price | 25 – 35% cheaper | |
| Area : m2 per kWp (approx) | 15 | 8 |
| Aspect | South, East and West | South |
| Energy generation -kW | 5 – 10% greater | |
| Light conditions | Low light - sunny | Sunny |
| Shading | Still generates | Stops generating |
| Temperature | Works extremely well between 40o – 70oC | Decrease in power with heat over 25oC |
· GS 55 modules
· Clamps
· Inverters
· Mounting system – flat , pitched or ground mounted.
The price of GS Solar (UK) thin film is around 25 – 35 % cheaper than crystalline, which make your clients’ initial costs a lot less, also reducing payback time to around 5 - 6 year
Please see below, a typical Feed in Tariff Payback for a typical 49 kWp System.
Based on an approx installed price of £2.20 per watt.
| System | Install cost | FIT rate | kWp year | Total Generation | FIT price | Electric saving | Total | Payback | ROI - 25 yrs |
| 49 | £107,800 | 0.329 | 950 | 46550 | £15,314.95 | £3,258.50 | £18,573.45 | 5.8 | £356,536.25 |
Our pricing is very competitive, but to enable me to personalise your quote I first need to understand your company's business model, and requirements.
I would like the opportunity to meet with you, to discuss in more depth about how GS Solar UK can assist your company in making thin film work for your clients.
