Solar Building Blocks Tapping a World of Opportunities

 

High efficiency CIGSolar™ cells provide an immense opportunity to service multiple existing market segments. These high efficiency solar cells may soon become the solar building blocks for a wide variety of applications including:

 

  • Replacing Existing Silicon Cells: A virtual drop in replacement for costly silicon solar cells. This is a vast market opportunity to replace aging technology.

 

  • Utility Scale Solar Fields: The modular building block format of CIGSolar™ cells can be tailored to deliver the needs of any size solar farm or application. The constraints of monolithic thin film technology no longer limit panel size.

  • BIPV Products: High performance thin film CIGSolar™ cells can be designed into an array of building products including roofing materials, building facades, and glass.

 

  • Residential Markets: Unlike other lower performance thin film solutions, high performance CIGSolar™ modules may offer the energy density necessary to make residential applications economical.
