  • Abstract
    Nonvacuum particles-based techniques have been used to fabricate CuIn1-xGxSe2 (CIGS) films useful for manufacturing efficient photovoltaic cells and modules. Processes optimized for cell performance are shown in certain cases to be ill-suited to monolithic modules. Module efficiencies of 5% have been achieved. Opportunities for further improvements are discussed
