Cigs Flexible Solar Panels

Light weight flexible thin film cigs panel.

Cigs flexible solar panels.

As a leader in the cigs field ascent is the only manufacturer commercially producing cigs solar on a plastic substrate with monolithic integration a key differentiator that puts us. Cigs offers the highest energy yield at different light conditions. These panels are designed to convert sunlight into electric power by laying a thin layer of these four elements onto a plastic backing. Sunflare solar goes where traditional solar can t go.

Our flexible and ultra lightweight cigs pv is uniquely positioned to compete at the system level with present and future exotic pv recent breakthrough in our new high voltage 270v solar module is specifically designed to address the needs for this high altitude aerospace market where pv modules must deliver high voltage and power while maintaining low current and for the least possible weight. Cigs cell on a flexible plastic backing. 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. July 11 2018 tucson az global solar energy is pleased to announce the release of its new generation of powerflex cigs copper indium gallium diselenide flexible thin film modules which offer higher efficiency up to 15 easy installation and are available in power outputs of 100 to 315 watts.

Cigs is moderately expensive to manufacture and is great for flexible and portable solar panels. 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. Flexible module materials offer low weight per area roof kg m2 and low weight per power generated kg w. Cigs solar cells are made from a compound called copper gallium indium diselenide sandwiched between conductive layers.

This material can be deposited on substrates such as glass plastic steel and aluminum and when deposited on a flexible backing the layers are thin enough to be allow full panel flexibility. Ascent solar develops and manufactures its cutting edge cigs copper indium gallium selenide photovoltaic technology on a flexible plastic substrate. Cigs offers low environmental impact and sustainability. The largest flexible cigs manufacturer in the world.

Other architectures use rigid cigs panels sandwiched between two panes of glass.
