The CIGS thin-film solar panel is a variety of thin-film modules using Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS) as the main semiconductor material for the absorber layer. This technology is being popularized for utility-scale installations, Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV), PV rooftops, flexible thin-film solar panels, and more.
The only upside is that most of the Indium in CIGS thin-film solar panels can be recycled from old modules. CIGS thin-film solar cells can be highly affected by water vapour that causes sodium migration within the cell, and increases solar cell degradation.
The CIGS solar cell structure also features a conductive sheet for conductivity and a protective layer. An upside of a CIGS thin-film solar panel is that its technology is extremely versatile, being able to adapt to numerous applications.
In the case of CIGS thin-film solar cells, they are very thin and light, and their stability is determined by the window or railing. There is no need for a separate frame, so it is attached directly to windows and handrails, and no separate stability is required for thin-film solar cells.
