   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Solar

   First Solar uses rigid thin-film modules for its solar panels, and produces CdTe panels using cadmium telluride (CdTe) as a semiconductor. [3] The company was founded in 1990 by inventor Harold McMaster as Solar Cells, Inc. and the Florida Corporation in 1993 with JD Polk. In 1999 it was purchased by True North Partners, LLC, who rebranded it ...

6. Copper indium gallium selenide solar cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_indium_gallium...

   A copper indium gallium selenide solar cell (or CIGS cell, sometimes CI(G)S or CIS cell) is a thin-film solar cell used to convert sunlight into electric power. It is manufactured by depositing a thin layer of copper indium gallium selenide solid solution on glass or plastic backing, along with electrodes on the front and back to collect current.

7. PowerFilm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerFilm

   In 1988, Iowa Thin Film Technologies broke ties from 3M and the company began working in a Department of Energy lab in Ames, Iowa. [5] The company's first thin-film solar product was created in 1995. In 1999, the company shipped thousands of solar panels due in large part to the "Y2K" scare. This resulted in the company's first profitable year.

8. Cadmium telluride photovoltaics - Wikipedia
