OverviewPropertiesStructureProductionRear surface passivationSee alsoExternal links

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. Because the material has a high absorption coefficient and st

Cost and Potential of Monolithic CIGS Photovoltaic Modules

sputtering + batch SAS, we calculate a total module manufacturing cost of $0.59/W DC ($0.72/W DC MSP) with potential to reduce below $0.40/W DC. o Materials, balance of module, and the SAS process represent major module cost drivers. •Using our modeled module cost numbers, we estimate the LCOE of CIGS to be close to that of standard c-Si. The
