Researchers from HZB and Humboldt University Berlin have developed a CIGS-perovskite tandem solar cell that achieves a record-breaking efficiency of 24.6%, certified by the independent Fraunhofer ...

CIGS panels do sometimes contain cadmium, in which case they're just as safe to use and risky to dispose of as their CdTe counterparts, however some CIGS panels are built using much safer zinc oxides.

A Dutch consortium is testing a 20 kW pilot floating PV installation for offshore applications with CIGS solar modules developed by Swedish manufacturer Midsummer. The panels consist of 144 solar ...

Copper indium gallium selenide panels boast 12-14% efficiency, making them a rival for CdTe. CIGS panels are typically made from zinc oxides, which are easier to dispose of. The issue with CIGS ...

Combining two semiconductor thin films into a tandem solar cell can achieve high efficiencies with a minimal environmental footprint. Teams have now presented a CIGS-perovskite tandem cell that sets a ...
