2. Thin-film solar cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin-film_solar_cell

   Thin-film solar cells, a second generation of photovoltaic (PV) solar cells: Top: thin-film silicon laminates being installed onto a roof. Middle: CIGS solar cell on a flexible plastic backing and rigid CdTe panels mounted on a supporting structure Bottom: thin-film laminates on rooftops Thin-film solar cells are a type of solar cell made by depositing one or more thin layers (thin films or ...

3. 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.

4. Cadmium telluride photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadmium_telluride...

   Cadmium telluride PV is the only thin film technology with lower costs than conventional solar cells made of crystalline silicon in multi-kilowatt systems. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] On a lifecycle basis, CdTe PV has the smallest carbon footprint , lowest water use and shortest energy payback time of any current photovoltaic technology.

5. Cadmium telluride - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadmium_telluride

   CdTe is used to make thin film solar cells, accounting for about 8% of all solar cells installed in 2011. [4] They are among the lowest-cost types of solar cell, [5] although a comparison of total installed cost depends on installation size and many other factors, and has changed rapidly from year to year.

6. List of CIGS companies - Wikipedia

   List of notable companies manufacturing copper indium gallium selenide solar cells (CIGS): Ascent Solar Technologies; Avancis (former subsidiary of Saint Gobain) Miasolé [1] Midsummer AB [2] (Swedish manufacturer of CIGS solar modules and sputtering equipment for thin-film solar cells) Sunflare [3] Sunplugged [4] Solar Cloth [5]

7. Solyndra - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solyndra

   Solyndra rolled its CIGS thin films into a cylindrical shape and placed 40 of them in each 1-by-2-metre (3 ft 3 in by 6 ft 7 in) panel. Solyndra designers thought the cylindrical solar panels absorbed energy from any direction (direct, indirect, and reflected light). [40] Each Solyndra cylinder, one inch in diameter, is made up of two tubes.
