Middle of its segment, weak in heat
The GIN P6F-60 series is a polycrystalline module consisting of 60 156x156 mm cells, designed for installations requiring reliability in harsh weather conditions. A positive power tolerance of 0~+5W ensures that each panel delivers at least the declared power - never less, which translates into significantly higher energy yields over the entire lifespan. The module stands out with its exceptional mechanical strength - it can withstand snow loads up to 5400 Pa and wind pressure up to 2400 Pa, making it an ideal choice for roof-mounted installations in the Polish climate. Certifications for salt corrosion (IEC-61701) and ammonia corrosion (IEC-62716) make the series suitable for both coastal areas and locations near agricultural or industrial facilities. An integrated PID (Potential Induced Degradation) protection stabilizes the module's parameters for decades of use. Good performance under diffuse light means efficient energy generation, even on cloudy mornings typical of Polish autumn and winter. Each unit undergoes mandatory double EL inspection to eliminate defects at the cell level. The series is covered by a 25-year linear power warranty and a 10-year product warranty.

Residential, commercial and cold-climate.
Hot climates and tight roof space.
Bottom 11% of the 175-375 W band, against a median of -0.360.

Every module in the GIN P6F-60 series delivers at least its nameplate power — never less. For a 10-panel string of 280 Wp modules, this translates to up to 50 W of additional real output compared to the rated nameplate, improving LCOE over the entire service life.
The panel is rated for snow loads up to 5,400 Pa and wind pressure up to 2,400 Pa — exceeding the common market baseline of 3,000/2,400 Pa. For high-snow Polish climate zones (Podkarpacie, Suwałki region), this is a tangible advantage over lighter-certified polycrystalline competitors.
Certification for both salt-mist corrosion (IEC-61701) and ammonia corrosion (IEC-62716) enables deployment in coastal zones as well as near livestock farms and industrial facilities — environments where uncertified modules show accelerated degradation of frames and junction boxes.
Built-in resistance to Potential Induced Degradation prevents power loss caused by leakage currents through the glass and encapsulant. This is particularly relevant for transformerless string inverter systems — the dominant topology in residential prosumer installations — where PID risk is inherently higher.
The series carries a 25-year linear power warranty alongside a 10-year product warranty — meeting the Tier-1 market minimum. Warranty obligations are honored by United Renewable Energy (URE), the successor entity formed when Gintech merged with Neo Solar Power and Solartech Energy in 2018.
In 2018, Gintech Energy merged with Neo Solar Power and Solartech Energy to form United Renewable Energy (URE). The GIN P6F-60 series is no longer manufactured; new-old-stock availability is extremely limited and replacement components (glass, junction box, frame) may be difficult to source for warranty repairs beyond 2025.
The top variant achieves 17% module efficiency, while comparable 60-cell peer products outperform it: TPL P-60 Series at 17.1%, Rarlon PV Tech Polycrystalline at 17.21%, and Techwise Solar Micro Sun at 21.12%. On space-constrained rooftops this translates to measurably lower energy yield per m².
Polycrystalline BSF technology on 156×156 mm cells has been superseded by mono PERC and N-type TOPCon, which deliver 20–22% module efficiency at the same footprint. Virtually all leading manufacturers (LONGi, Jinko, Trina) ceased polycrystalline production before 2022.
- Efficiency of 16.7% is 5.1pp below the database median (21.8%)
- At 169.0 W/m², this panel generates 49.1 W/m² less per unit area than database median (218.1 W/m²)
- -0.41%/°C temperature coefficient - 0.11pp worse than database median (-0.30%/°C), expect higher hot weather losses
- At 18.5 kg, this panel is 8.0 kg lighter than database median (26.5 kg) - easier handling during installation
- In the top 97% for efficiency among all N-type panels
