Thin Film Solar Cells Supplied by Miasole

Miasole has developed Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS) thin film photovoltaic products. The company produces various solar products that are produced with a combination of CIGS thin films with Miasole proprietary manufacturing processes. When copper, gallium, indium and selenium are combined together in proper proportion, it forms into a semiconductor. This semiconductor is used as a thin film to create solar cells. The CIGS is a band-gap semiconductor and a CIGS film is as thin as 1 micron that can produce photoelectric effect, which is equal to the 200-300 microns thickness of crystalline silicon wafer. Numerous thin film layers made of different materials are evenly placed on a substrate to make a CIGS solar cell.
