This combination is the key to building remarkably efficient tandem solar cells with all the advantages of thin-film technology and an efficiency factor that could top the 30-percent mark. Researchers engaged in the Capitano project are combining thin-film solar modules based on perovskite semiconductors with semiconductors made of copper, indium, gallium and selenium (CIGS). The future could well belong to this promising technology. Tandem solar modules with two light-harvesting active layers have far greater potential. The efficiency ceiling of commercially available solar modules leaves little room for improvement. Perovskite/ CIGS semiconductor pairing promises to boost photovoltaic efficiency From the laboratory cell to a small solar module: A perovskite innovation from the ZSW laboratory.

Press release by ZSW (Stuttgart, Germany).Published in the renowned science journal Nature Communications in August 2020, the results of this investigation reveal how manufacturers of CIGS thin-film solar cells can achieve even higher efficiencies.
A team staffed with researchers from the Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW), Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) recently identified a key point where the performance of thin-film solar cells can be improved for the cell to convert more sunlight into electricity. The efficiency of today’s thin-film solar cells with the CIGS compound semiconductor has already topped the 23 percent mark, but now a further increase looks to be within reach. Research team pinpoints potential for improving CIGS solar cells Facade with CIGS thin-film solar modules in Aarhus, Denmark Posted on JSeptemTags CIGS, indium, photovoltaics, resources Leave a comment on Indium Availability for CIGS thin-film solar cells in Europe CIGS paper published in renowned Nature Communications journal Please do not hesitate to suggest improvements in the comments, we will add them in due course. A number of renowned European and US research institute have compiled information from recent studies and publications showing that indium should be considered an “earth abundant element” in order to facilitate research progress in EU countries.įor more information, see the enclosed document. The capacity for indium production in Europe is sufficient for more than 100 GW PV production per year with the potential to meet Terawatt challenges in a cost-effective manner. CIGS solar modules are produced with small amounts of indium. CIGS Thin-Film Photovoltaics is indispensible for prosperity, energy transition and enabling net zero emission targets within the EU.
