SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA — (Marketwire) — 01/30/12 — While the recent failure of one PV thin-film start-up, Solyndra, which had received over $500 million in US government loan guarantees, has caused huge uproar beyond solar circles, there-s exciting news from several companies and researchers active in copper-indium-gallium-diselenide (CIGS/CIS) technology. “It-s worthwhile taking another close look at CIGS,” says Michael Schmela, chairman of PHOTON-s 4th Thin Film Conference in San Francisco on Feb. 1, 2012.
Solar Frontier is the first CIGS company to have a gigawatt-scale production capacity, and many further CIGS start-ups are ramping to mass production as well. “No doubt, the market environment is getting even tougher as crystalline silicon module prices drop to incredibly low levels, but several newly reported CIGS efficiency records provide hope for this promising thin-film technology,” says Schmela.
At PHOTON-s Thin Film Conference, which will exclusively focus on CIGS, speakers from the most exciting stakeholders in this technology will provide the latest insights:
