SkySentry receives CIGS array from Ascent Solar Technologies

Skysentry receives lightweight flexible CIGS array from Ascent Solar Technologies.

Flexible CIGS photovoltaics increases capability

Copper indium gallium diselenide CIGS is the favourite formulation in the CIS copper indium diselenide family of photovoltaic devices.

Printed Electronics uses more inorganics and composites

Printed electronics is using more inorganics and composites in the quest for higher performance, lower costs, finer feature size, stretchability and creation of radically new components such as memristors, supercabatteries and metamaterials.

Inorganic printed electronics employs new compounds

There are huge opportunities for companies providing inorganic chemicals to printed and potentially printed electronics. Here, Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman, IDTechEx, summarises some of the findings from the new IDTechEx report "Inorganic and Composite Printed Electronics 2009-2019."

Huge increase in printed electronics toolkit

This year has already seen a huge increase in the choice of electronic components that can be printed or are compatible with printing in that they are thin, flexible and can support further printed circuitry on top.

Program provides $16.5m under American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

The U. S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is seeking project proposals as part of recently announced DOE funding to accelerate commercialization of solar energy technologies.

Light weight flexible 5 meter CIGS based PV laminate breakthrough

Ascent Solar Technologies, has manufactured a monolithically interconnected 5 meter long flexible light weight module on a polyimide substrate.

CIGS: Almost, but not quite there yet

IDTechEx believes that the amount of venture capital investment along with the intensified work for the transition from lab scale to high-volume production is going to make CIGS a technology that will be taking up a large chunk of orders and will be dominant in the photovoltaic market.

CIGS monolithically integrated modules achieve substantial efficiency

Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc., a developer of state of the art flexible thin-film solar modules, has announced that it has achieved greater than 9.5% efficiency for its flexible Copper, Indium, Gallium, Selenide (CIGS) monolithically integrated modules.

Increasing efficiencies for thin film solar cells

Recently, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) announced that they have moved closer to creating a thin-film solar cell that can compete with the efficiency of the more common silicon-based solar cell.

Reel to Reel Production of CIGS Photovoltaics

There are far more developers of inorganic compound photovoltaics than of organic versions in the world. In particular, there are more developers of copper indium gallium diselenide CIGS solar cells than for any other non-silicon technology.
