Q Cells CIGS Thin Film Solar Panels

Q Cell Thin Film Solar Panels

FREE Solar QuoteThe Q-Cell Thin Film solar panel achieves world record efficiencies and high yields due to good temperature behavior and low light performance. No other thin film modules currently offer a higher yield.

For the first time less than full sun positions can enjoy high efficiency solar returns. The Q- Cell panel works in dappled light as the partly shaded panel keeps working rather than shutting down.

Q Cells CIGS Technology

In this type of thin film module the active layer consists of Copper Indium Gallium di-Selinide (CIGS) instead of silicon. The long thin cells of CIGS modules make them less sensitive to partial shading compared to crystalline silicon modules.

In the laboratory, CIGS modules have achieved efficiencies comparable to crystalline silicon modules. Q-Smart CIGS modules have one of the highest conversion efficiencies of thin film modules produced on a commercial scale.
