Global Solar Energy has claimed that in December, 2007 it became the
first Copper Indium Gallium diSelenide (CIGS) thin-film solar
manufacturer to achieve an average of 10 percent solar cell efficiency
on a flexible substrate over ‘several production runs.’
“A
number of CIGS thin film companies have exceeded 10 percent efficiency
in the lab or in individual cells, but achieving 10 percent average
solar cell efficiency over the course of several sustained, continuous
production runs is a significant achievement,” said Dr. Jeffrey Britt,
Ph.D., Vice President of Technology at GSE. “This is the culmination of
three full years of being in production and evolving our proprietary
production techniques to continuously improve the efficiency and output
of our production.”
The CIGS manufacturer said that it also manufactured and shipped 4MW of photovoltaic products worldwide in 2007, which was a new record for the company since starting production in 2004.
