  1. Saint-Gobain’s CIGS Thin Film PV Modules : An excellent Solar Power Solution

  2. Why thin film? Thin film has fundamental advantages over silicon PV • Thin film module costs are lower and more stable than silicon • Thin film modules have a much shorter energy payback time • Thin film value chain is simpler • Thin Film value chain is, by nature, fully integrated Confidential : Not for sharing without authorisation

  3. Why Avancis? Lowest Cost per Wp • Avancis modules have shown the highest efficiency of any thin film technology: • 20.3% record cell efficiency in the laboratory • 15.5% record module aperture efficiency (0.1m²) • 11.0% average module area efficiency in fab (1m²) • Since all thin film technologies have similar cost per unit area, the lowest cost per Wp will result from the technology with the highest efficiency. • Avancis gives most value for money.

  4. Why Avancis? Being CIGS it has the Widest Absorption Spectrum Confidential : Not for sharing without authorisation

  5. Why Avancis? Energy generation performance suited for hot countries Temperature coefficient Lowlight behavior • Module energy yield is fully characterized in the simulaiton software by : • Low light behavior • Temperature coefficient • NOCT determines performance • These data are continuously monitored in our Fabs Confidential : Not for sharing without authorisation

  6. Why Avancis? Excellent shadowing tolerance : lesser area Rel. power (%) Shadowing (%) Needs about 4.5 acres / MWp Confidential : Not for sharing without authorisation

  8. Avancis PV modules : Best Solar Power for India Avancis advantages • Spectral absorption range is widest from 300-1300 nm (mono/poly/a-Si cells ranges from 400-700 nm) • 5-10% more energy generation than crystalline silicon modules. • Better suited for hot countries than Cr- Si • More energy generation than Cr-Si even in low light, cloudy or hazy conditions. • Produce consistent superior output (kWh/kWp) when tested in the same natural environment • Lower cost production as compared to Cr Si • Contains no hazardous or environmentally toxic materials • Versatile technology : easily applied in rooftops or fields • Land requirement comparable to that of Cr-Si projects • Aesthetics: The uniform solid black color of the panels has an excellent appealing appearance • Comes with the Credibility of Saint-Gobain name Confidential : Not for sharing without authorisation
