A Copper Indium Gallium Selenide solar cell (or CIGS cell, sometimes CI (G)S or CIS cell) is a thin-film solar cell used to convert sunlight into electric power. It is manufactured by depositing a thin layer of copper, indium, gallium and selenium on glass or plastic backing, along with electrodes on the front and back to collect current.
The average price of copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) solar cells is currently around $0.30 to $1.25 per watt, according to market research estimates. However, the price of Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS) solar cells varies based on several factors, including the efficiency of the cells, and the specific manufacturer.
There are several benefits of Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS) solar cells that make them an attractive option for solar power generation. These include their high efficiency and reliable performance in low-light conditions.
Copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) is an I-III-VI semiconductor used to produce thin-film solar cells, one of the three main types of solar cells.
