In this paper are measured the changes in electrical output characteristics
of thin film solar panels as a function of external microclimate parameters.
Possible application of thin film solar panels in the production of
electricity on a small river boat was analyzed. Based on the results the
efficiency of thin film solar panels was determined. Also, cost benefit
analysis of their use on the river boat was performed as independent and
additional sources of electricity to the existing system which is based on
the ship diesel engine alternator.
