Copper indium gallium (di)selenide (CIGS) thin-film cells for solar energy generation offer decisive economical advantages by enabling the manufacture of lightweight and flexible modules. The development of thin-film solar cell can be accelerated by performing electroluminescence analysis. Analyzing CIGS cells’ inherent near-infrared electroluminescent radiation with sensitive...

Thin-film solar cells have essential advantages compared to traditional cells based on silicon wafers. Yet, not much is known about the behaviour of thin-film solar cells under various lighting and weather conditions. Using InGaAs cameras, it is possible to detect the weak electroluminescent radiation emitted...

Solar power generation through thin-film solar cells in CIGS (copper-gallium-indium-diselenide) technology provides crucial economic benefits such as lightweight and flexible modules, requiring only minimal energy and material use for their production and provides good energy yield over a wide range even under unfavourable weather conditions....
