Though not independently verified, copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) thin-film producer, MiaSolé has claimed it has produced a 17.3% champion device result, while the manufacturing process for 14% efficiency is now in production. To date, MiaSolé has claimed it has shipped over 55MW of modules since starting production in mid-2009. MiaSolé started production of 13% efficient modules in October 2011.

“The progress in efficiency gains we’ve repeatedly demonstrated are further proof that we’re aggressively moving toward a cost structure that is competitive with top-tier global solar manufacturers,” said John Carrington, CEO of MiaSolé.

The company claimed that it had achieved over a 30% gain in efficiencies in just 12 months and were ahead of roadmap expectations.

    Photovoltaics International 16th Edition

    This sixteenth edition of Photovoltaics International marks four years of production of the quarterly journal. As always, our focus is on efficiency and quality improvement and cost reduction in manufacturing. As 2012 rolls along, companies are falling by the wayside due to supply and demand issues, ASP declines and drastic governmental subsidy cuts. A clear picture of 2012 is offered through papers from the likes of TÜV Rheinland, Fraunhofer ISE, SEMI PV Group and EPIA, amongst others.
