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.

Abrupt Climate Change Could be Brought About by Leaking Methane

Significant amounts of methane found to be leaking from permafrost in the East Siberian Arctic Shelf could push the world closer to the tipping points for abrupt climate changes. According to a study published in Science journal this week, about 7-8 million tonnes of methane are being released from the Shelf each year – about the same amount that the entire world’s oceans release annually. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas considered to be one of the largest contributors to climate change.
