Scientist Pinpoint Way To Improve CIGS Solar Cells
CIGS thin-film solar cells have an optimum academic efficiency of about 33 percent, however the real-world efficiency has gotten to just around 23 percent. This shortfall is attributable to loss systems in the CIGS solar cell in the practical layers as well as at varied user interfaces. But where specifically and why these losses occur has been a point of opinion.
