GS Solar
Photovoltaic company GS-Solar was founded in 2007 in China. The company's headquarters there is also the place where the solar modules of GS-Solar are produced. Likewise in China is another location of the company. This is where the research and development work of GS-Solar takes place. A third location is used to install the photovoltaic products. In Germany GS-Solar is represented with a branch office in Frankfurt am Main. The company is committed to expanding existing structures in Europe. Thus, the extension of the range of services in Europe is one of the most important goals of GS-Solar for the coming years.
GS-Solar manufactures thin-film modules based on amorphous silicon. These modules are manufactured in our own production facilities. The photovoltaic company differs from other companies in the industry in that the objective of GS-Solar is defined by the promotion of thin-film technology. This technology should find its way from the research laboratories into practice as quickly, reliably and cost-efficiently as possible.
Today, installers, wholesalers of photovoltaic products or planners of photovoltaic systems are among the customers of GS-Solar in Europe. Also energy suppliers, specially subsidized energy projects or the operators of solar power plants are among the partners of GS-Solar. In addition, commercially used buildings in Europe are equipped with photovoltaic modules from GS-Solar. In the future, the company will also focus on improving access to grid-tied energy suppliers. This market segment is generally predicted to have good growth potential.
The thin-film modules from GS-Solar are characterized by their high efficiency and cost-effectiveness. They have been specially developed to meet the high requirements of energy suppliers. According to their own statements, the company's modules are among the photovoltaic products of the solar industry with one of the lowest average costs. In addition, the GS Solar modules bring the lowest cost per watt. Exactly these costs per watt are to be lowered further in the future. On the one hand, this should be done through constant development of the products. On the other hand, a constant increase in production also leads to volume and size effects, which also contribute to an improvement in the overall cost structure. GS-Solar has therefore set itself the goal of using the thin-film modules in the near future to achieve those cost structures that are present today with conventional energy solutions.
The thin-film modules of the GS-Solar are suitable for a wide range of applications. This ranges from small plants to solar power plants on an industrial scale. The modules of GS-Solar can also be used for grid-connected systems. As a performance guarantee for the modules, GS-Solar grants a period of up to 25 years.
