What is HGS?
HGS combines a series of system level design attributes which drive lower installed cost and higher energy yield relative to traditional fixed tilt PV panels. As the solar industry matures customers value energy yield and cost more than peak “nameplate” rating. The movement to HGS started with the adoption of high efficiency monocrystalline silicon cells and tracking technology to increase energy yield and now includes a series of other improvements including the use of concentration with reflective materials which reduces the amount of silicon required by ninety percent, lower cost panel designs, convection cooling, better string & shadow management, streamlined installation and maintenance. Systems which combine one or more of these attributes are considered to be driving higher gain.
