Thin-Film Solar made with CdTe or CIGS is Durable, Flexible and Versatile
While silicon has dominated solar power for years, thin-film photovoltaic technologies offer a compelling alternative. Two of the better-known thin films are Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) and Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS). What thin-film is In place of thick silicon wafers, CdTe and CIGS use layers of semiconductor material just a few micrometres thick, deposited onto … Continue reading Thin-Film Solar made with CdTe or CIGS is Durable, Flexible and Versatile
