The differences between cigs and crystalline solar cells.
With efficiencies exceeding 20 measured in the laboratory there may be a continuing place for high efficiency cigs panels in the general solar panel market.
One big difference is that the cigs is more light sensitive and therefore will a 100 watt peak cigs panel produce around 10 15 more power in a year than a 100 watt peak crystaline panel.
High photovoltaic conversion efficiency and 5.
So far the promise of cigs solar cell technology has been greater than the reality but certain advantages of this technology are beginning to emerge namely.
Low cost figure 2.
Cigs will start earlier in the morning and stay on for longer in the evening.
High stability regarding photoelectric generation 4.
Short energy payback time 3.
Best light absorption 2.
Meanwhile basic advantages of a certain technology are principally defined by the two parameters.
Cigs technology based on cu in ga se 2 compounds is the leading one in efficiency among thin film solar.

The active layer cigs can be deposited in a polycrystalline form directly onto molybdenum coated glass sheets or steel bands.
Cigs solar cell in full copper indium gallium selenide solar cell thin film photovoltaic device that uses semiconductor layers of copper indium gallium selenide cigs to absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity although cigs solar cells are considered to be in the early stages of large scale commercialization they can be produced by using a process that has the potential to reduce.

Advantages for our customers.
Cigs solar cell cigs properties cigs is a i iii vi compound semiconductor.
It is manufactured by depositing a thin layer of copper indium gallium and selenium on glass or plastic backing along with electrodes on the front and back to collect current.
Now cigs companies need to bring it to the next level and make it cost effective.
In comparison the semiconductor layer of crystalline solar cells is a hundred times thicker than that of cis solar cells.
Unlike other pv technologies cis technology offers enormous savings and performance potential.
Iw cigstech 8 has been a great success presenting hot cigs thin film solar cell research and industry news to a packed auditorium in stuttgart germany.
Because the material has a high absorption coefficient.
