Product catalog summary
Introduction
Global Solar® is a pioneer in flexible thin-film solar solutions, specializing in CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) technology. Founded in 1996, the company has established itself as a leader in integrating solar power into building materials, contributing significantly to the building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) market.

CIGS Technology
CIGS technology is renowned for its superior sunlight absorption capabilities, performing efficiently across various light conditions, including diffuse and low-light environments. This technology is characterized by its high quantum efficiency across a broad spectrum of wavelengths.

PowerFLEX Modules
PowerFLEX modules are designed for high power density and versatility, particularly in rooftop installations. These modules are lightweight, flexible, and do not require mounting hardware or structural reinforcement, making them ideal for a variety of roof types. They offer significant cost advantages, with potential savings of 30-40% on direct costs and 40-50% on indirect costs compared to traditional solar modules.

Performance and Efficiency
PowerFLEX modules provide high efficiency, with aperture efficiencies ranging from 10.5% to 12.6%, and are 50% more efficient than flexible a-Si modules. They perform well in all light conditions and are shade tolerant, maximizing energy production per rooftop.

Installation and Integration
The modules can be installed using standard roofing practices and are compatible with various roofing materials. They can also be integrated into OEM products for innovative BIPV solutions.

Contact Information
Global Solar® Energy, Inc. is headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, with a facility in Berlin, Germany. For more information, contact details are provided for both locations.

CIGS TECHNOLOGY Ag Top Contact ^ n-Type TCO n-Type CDS Buffer p-Type CIGS Absorber Mo Back SS Substrate The Problem with Tilt Solar panels are typically mounted at a fixed tilt angle, representing a trade-off between summer and winter production. Adjacent rows of tilted panels must be spaced to avoid shading; this spacing, however,reduces the amount of power on the roof. Inadequate spacing can result in significant power losses (see below). CIGS Dissected Co-evaporated CIGS on .001"-thick, Ikm-long stainless steel foil is the basis of our proprietary roll-to-roll manufacturing process. This record...
