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...
