Nanosolar’s progress developping the CIGS
I found it googling - this PDF from Nanosolar’s website explaining actually the progress the firm is making developping hte CIGS technology. It’s called ” High-performance Thin-film photovoltaics using Low-cost process technology “. The paper explaining that the CIGS can can deliver sunlight-to-electricity conversion efficiencies of 19.5%. The paper then explains the different fabrication process [...]
Nanosolar invests $300 milion more to accelerate the production
Nanosolar to Accelerate Production
One of the companies at the forefront of the fight to make thin-film solar viable is Nanosolar, and they just announced some good news on their blog. They were always well capitalized, but they raised $300 million more to accelerate the expansion of their production capability, bringing their total funding to about [...]
Thin-film solar cells more competitive and more efficient !!
CIGS cells use extremely thin layers of semiconductor material applied to a low-cost backing such as glass, flexible metallic foils, high-temperature polymers or stainless steel sheets. Thin-film cells require less energy to make and can be fabricated by a variety of processes. Because of this, they provide a promising path for providing more affordable [...]
