OverviewPropertiesStructureProductionRear surface passivationRadiation toleranceExternal links

A copper indium gallium selenide solar cell (CIGS cell, sometimes CI(G)S or CIS cell) is a type of thin-film solar cell. 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 electric current. Because the material has a high absorption coefficient and strongly absorbs sunlight, a much thinner film is required t

Thin-Film Solar Technology (2026) | 8MSolar

Instead of using thick layers of crystalline silicon, thin-film solar cells are made by depositing one or more thin layers of photovoltaic material onto a
