Who we are

The Gehrlicher Group designs, constructs and

finances photovoltaic power systems in Europe.

Our Head Office is based in Dornach near Mu-

nich and we have branch offices in Neustadt

near Coburg, on the Canary Island of Fuerteven-

tura, Athens, Milan and Spain (Madrid, Murcia).

The Gehrlicher Group currently has over 150 em-

ployees.

Our strengths are designing, constructing and

maintaining photovoltaic systems – all from one

source:

As wholesaler, we offer solar modules, inverters,

substructures designed by ourselves, intelligent

cable systems and complete photovoltaic systems

that can be installed regionally

on the customer’s request.

Thanks to the combination of many years of ex-

perience, innovation and professional realisa-

tion, we improve existing and develop new pro-

ducts. For investors, we project, sell and operate

photovoltaic funds.

The annual growth of the Gehrlicher Group ranks

well over the industry average. Long-term supply

contracts with the largest module producers

worldwide and strategic partnerships, based on

our technologically innovative advances, assure

the group success to attractive prospects on the

worldwide booming photovoltaic market.

We are internationalising our business activities.

We are already constructing large-scale installa-

tions in Spain with plans to construct solar power

plants in Italy, Greece and France. An expansion

to further European countries is planned. With

the international operating solar funds, we are

gradually becoming independent of the German

Renewable Energy Sources Act and its decreas-

ing feed-in rate.

We are technology leaders

The Gehrlicher Group is a competent and serious

partner to the photovoltaic industry. We are tech-

nology leaders. Our participation in successful

EU projects and our co-operation with universities

contribute to secure tomorrow’s technological

know-how. Our R&D department constantly de-

velops new ideas; these flow into our production

just as the developments from co-operation proj-

ects do.

…Monitoring

Based on several EU projects, we have acquired

an extensive database of all current module

types, inverters and installations. The Gehrlicher

Group has been constructing different types of

PV systems since 1994 and carries out extensive

evaluation procedures. On the basis of this exten-

sive experience, we have been actively occupied

with thin-film technology since the start of this

century and developed optimal configuration

solutions to increase output and profit.

... Thin-film technology

Thin-film technology is set for major growth. As a

result of early and close co-operation with lead-

ing manufacturers such as the US company

First Solar, we have acquired several years of

experience with thin-film technology and estab-

lished ourselves as a provider of across the

board know-how. We have constructed the

largest thin-film test field worldwide on a multi-

storey car park of “Neue Messe” (new exhibition

centre) in Munich-Riem and are supervising the

five-year monitoring phase. In Bullas (Spain), we

constructed the largest thin-film installation in

Spain in 2007.

Our history

In contrast to specialised solar installation com-

panies that primarily install small-scale systems

and obtain all components from wholesalers, we

co-operate directly with the manufacturers of

solar modules and inverters. The subsequent role

of a wholesaler co-operating with leading manu-

facturers in the module sector not only assures us

favourable prices. It also enables us to not only

offer the individual components of leading manu-

facturers, but in combination with our own

products, also complete systems and customized

solutions for every application.

We design, construct, finance and market free-

field photovoltaic systems with several mega-

watts of power as a fund in Germany and Spain.

We were the first company in Europe to success-

fully realise co-operative models for roof systems

and, in so doing, have established ourselves as

pioneers of a new development in the solar in-

dustry. In 1998, we established the first profes-

sional and trend-setting solar fund in Europe.

Our targets

The Gehrlicher Solar AG will continue to per-

form on the highest quality level also in the future

and, in doing so, aim to become the market

leader in terms of competence in the photo-

voltaic industry. The company continues to grow

above the market growth customary within the

industry; and due to the increasing number of

pieces involved, we are constantly optimising our

price-performance ratio. The Gehrlicher Solar

AG focuses on further product developments of

its own as well as on the enlargement of its quali-

fied team of workers. The increasing synergies

and the progressive internationalization enable

us to secure the future markets beyond the Ger-

man borders.

6

Our strengths

We are active as pioneers in numerous fields and

rank as one of the best technological innovators

in the industry.

In the design of photovoltaic systems, we focus on

high-quality performance, long service life and

an optimised yield for maximum system output

and profit. This we guarantee with optimal and

highly detailed system design and dimensioning.

We have extensive experience in the design and

construction of photovoltaic power plants. Before

we market and sell new products, we reassure

ourselves of the quality of these products and test

them in our own plants.

We offer everything from one source. We pro-

vide turn-key photovoltaic power plants. We take

care of all project phases from the quotation

through to installation and marketing of the

shares. We can also support project financing

upon request. We have long established contacts

with investors, enabling us to finance individual

projects of any size.

The interdisciplinary teamwork of architects, engi-

neers, craftsmen and financial experts across the

board allows us to realise relevant solutions and

complex construction projects. With our experi-

enced planning and financial experts, we can

offer concepts tailored to suit your specific needs.

We are acclaimed experts in the construction of

integrated photovoltaic systems. We have twice

been awarded with the Solar Prize of the

Bavarian Chamber of Architects.

thetic demands.

In Germany, Gehrlicher Solar AG ranks as one

of the Top Ten of the "longest serving" compa-

nies in the photovoltaic industry and one of the

most well-known in project development. We

convince by means of quality and value. Impor-

tant to the Gehrlicher Group and our cus-

tomers are the peak outputs of the systems

supported by extensive data. Our track list of

all realised PV funds now covers a period of over

10 years.

We offer an extensive service and are happy to

provide sound advice on all relevant matters.

Investment companies

About 30 investment companies are affiliated to

Gehrlicher Solar Management GmbH, including

megawatt parks at various sites – from public

participation models to tax optimised investor

models.

The funds are normally operated as GmbH & Co.

KG. For this type of company, investors’ liability

is limited to their investments. Nonetheless, they

can benefit from the tax advantages of a partner-

ship. In all these corporations, Gehrlicher Solar

Management GmbH has the function of a

general partner. Private individuals participate

with their investments as limited partners.

Gehrlicher Solar Management GmbH

Experts in solar fund management

The subsidiary Gehrlicher Solar Management

GmbH was established in 2004. The company

took over the fast-growing solar fund division.

Managing Director is Ulrich Haushofer (business

graduate, tax consultant).

Gehrlicher Solar Management GmbH initiates

and manages both solar power public funds and

participation in investment opportunities as part

of private placement. The company also offers

third parties related services – either individual

or complete full service packages.

11

Subsidiaries

With its subsidiaries, the Gehrlicher Group is in-

ternationally active. These subsidiaries construct

free-field installations in Spain, Italy and Greece.

Through our companies, we have direct contact

to the local public authorities. Large areas of

Southern Europe offer the best preconditions for

the use of photovoltaics with regard to both cli-

matic aspects as well as legal requirements.

Despite the red tape, the Gehrlicher Group en-

tered the highly attractive Spanish market as

early as 2004 and made a name for itself as a

reputable international provider of turn-key sys-

tems. The Gehrlicher Group has been active in

the Canaries since 1994 and has excellent per-

sonal contacts locally. Apart from Southern

Spain, the Canaries are the best European site

for solar power plants as they have by far the

highest solarisation and also significant economic

potential for tax reasons.

In addition to Spain, we have also been active in

Italy with our office in Milan and since 2007 also

in Greece. With our subsidiary "Gehrlicher Solar

Hellas MEPE" we are represented on the highly

promising Greek market with our own office in

Athens. Greece offers an ideal market for our

products due to the sunny climate.

market and constantly strive to improve existing

processes and developments.

The trust of our clients and business partners

place in our innovative ideas and extensive

technical expertise, as we invest heavily in the

research and development of new products and

processes, is continuosly rewarded. Early invest-

ment in research and development has made us

renowned as a competent and experienced inno-

vator and we have successfully maintained this

reputation until today. Conceived in our research

department are technological innovations that

are introduced on to the market fully developed

and earlier than those of our competitors.

Our nubbel and substructures have become a in-

herent part of numerous PV installations – also of

those of other market participants.

Quick and reliable cabling

The professional cable feeder for photovoltaic

systems in particular in the area of thin-film

modules enables fast, convenient and effective

DC cabling.

When using conventional generator terminal

boxes in conjunction with thin-film modules in

particular, the time required for cabling increases

considerably. Gehrlicher Solar AG therefore de-

veloped together with Prysmian (Pirelli) a high-

quality single and double-line cable feeder,

adapted to the respective module type and

markets the same.

DC cabling on site is reduced considerably. The

nubbel is suitable for free-field and rooftop pho-

tovoltaic systems with free and fixed installation.

Chances of the photovoltaic market

Prices for oil, gas and coal are rising worldwide.

This is due to increasing shortages, insecure polit-

ical situations around the production regions in

the Middle East, South America and Russia as

well as a significant increase in the energy de-

mand of the emerging countries in Eastern Eu-

rope and Asia. In contrast, the cost effectiveness

of renewable energy sources is increasing. The

opportunities to become established on the en-

ergy market in this sector are therefore relatively

high.

Photovoltaics is set to play a more important role

in the energy mix in the future. The manufacturers

of solar cells and modules will have increased

their production capacities worldwide before

long to the extent that they will satisfy demand

on the one hand and achieve cost reductions in

production due to higher piece numbers on the

other.

The German Renewable Energies Sources Act

(EEG) concentrates precisely on this effect due to

its annual tariff reduction and also exerts eco-

nomic pressure on the manufacturers to produce

more cheaply each year. For investors in photo-

voltaic systems, the EEG provides long-term plan-

ning security through the 20-year guaranteed

feed-in tariff.

In the meantime, 32 further countries, e.g.

France, Spain, Italy and Greece have introduced

laws similar to the German EEG with in-feed

tariffs guaranteed over the long-term. This offers

international companies such as the Gehrlicher

Group profitable growth opportunities.

We are proud of our achievements

After 15 years of company history, we can look

back on numerous successful projects from all

photovoltaic sectors in Germany:

- Design, planning and realisation of large-scale

free-field installations

- Use of the latest photovoltaic technology on

behalf of and with the support of the EU

- A noise barrier of solar modules along the

motorway

- Innovative building services engineering

- Numerous small scale systems on halls, barns

and house roofs

In addition to Germany, we have completed

diverse projects in the rest of Europe. Several

projects have been successfully completed by

our subsidiaries ranging from tracking controlled

photovoltaic systems up to multi-megawatt parks

(e.g. a 5 MW installation in Spain/Murcia) in

different regions and countries.

PV enlargement on the exhibition centre

in Munich, multi-storey car park, west

(655 kWp)

As part of the EU project "PV Enlargement", a

total of 30 partners at 32 locations in 11 countries

are constructing solar power systems with highly

innovative or cost-efficient technologies. The solar

power system on the roof of the multi-storey

carpark on the exhibition centre in Munich is the

largest system of this kind planned worldwide.

This extraordinary solar power system is a world-

wide unique solar technology performance test.

Thin-film modules of amorphous silicon, cadmium-

telluride and copper indium diselenide are com-

pared with highly efficient crystalline silicon

modules. The measuring results of the test field

provide information on the performance of the

various solar cell types.

Solar Park Helmeringen (10 MWp)

With a capacity of over 10 MWp and an area

of 30 ha, the Solar Park Helmeringen is cur-

rently the biggest solar power plant in Swabia.

The plant generates three times as much electric-

ity as our photovoltaic system in Gundelfingen.

With about 10,500,000 generated kilowatt-

hours, approximately 10,000 citizens can meet

their electricity needs; this nearly amounts to the

population of Lauingen (11,123 residents as of

December 2007).

PV-soundless noise barrier on the

motorway A 92 Freising (500 kWp)

With a length of one kilometre, this photovoltaic

system along the A 92 motorway was the

world's largest acoustic barrier of solar modules

to be constructed at the time. It not only shields

the Freisinger business park located behind the

barrier from traffic noise, but also feeds the pub-

lic grid with 500 kilowatts of eco-friendly elec-

tricity. The operator is the public services feed-in

company of the city of Freising. Special modules

of the Spanish manufacturer Isofotón were used

for the system. Its ceramic design combines two

functions in one element: They produce electric-

ity from sunlight and also serve as noise protec-

tion. The so-called CER modules consist of a

white ceramic carrier plate and a clear Tedlar

film with 36 laminate monocrystalline solar cells.

The European Commission has promoted the in-

novative photovoltaic technology as part of its

fifth basic research and development pro-

gramme.

The overall investment for the entire project

amounted to over 3 million €.

Campbell roof-integrated thin-film system

(9.5 kWp)

In Ottobrunn near Munich, we designed,

planned and installed a roof-integrated thin-film

system for a solar passive house. 196 thin-film

modules simultaneously form as a so-called in-

roof construction, the rainproof roof cladding.

A structure ventilated at the rear prevents the

modules from heating up. The owner was

awarded the German Solar Prize 2004 from

Eurosolar for his building.

In 2007, we completed Spain's largest 5 MW

CdTe thin-film installation in only 8 months’ time.

The installation is located in the Bullas region,

one of the sunniest regions in Spain. For this

project, over 70.000 CdTe thin-film modules

of First Solar as well as 750 SMC 7000 HV

SMA inversters were used.

Co-operative System in Wendl-Dietrich-

Straße in Munich (170 kWp)

We installed the largest solar power system at

the time on a residential building in Munich. The

system extends over 500 metres along the roofs

of the four-storey residential building in the dis-

trict of Neuhausen in Munich.The solar power

system is divided into two sections with different

types of solar modules. In the western part,

framed modules of Shell Solar with polycrys-

talline cells were used. Thin-film modules of First

Solar supply solar power in the eastern part.

The residential building belongs to the Munich

Housing Association GEWOFAG and is a listed

building. However, the Monument Protection

Authority could be convinced that the solar

modules did not degrade the character of

the district as a whole, but on the contrary,

enhanced the overall architectural image of

the building.

PV system with single-axis tracking

Office-building / Dr. Jockisch, Solicitors,

Landshut (27 kWp)

This is a completely glazed 5-storey building with

a diameter of 18 m.

On account of the large-area glazed facade of

this circular building, a "shadow" photovoltaic

system in the form of a motor-driven 34 tonnes

steel frame was constructed. This installation was

equipped with PV modules that serve as shading

elements and are tracked according to the posi-

tion of the sun. The facade system was addition-

ally extended above the flat roof with an oval

shaped solar "shield", similarly tracked accord-

ing to the position of the sun. This serves to pro-

tect the meeting room on the top floor from direct

sunlight, the roof surface of which is completely

glazed. The shadow photovoltaic system (Archi-

tect HBH, Project Manager Barbara Gehrlicher),

received an award from the Bavarian Chamber

of Architects in November 2000 in the "Innova-

tive building-integrated solar power systems in

Bavaria" competition.
