CIGS cells are thin-film solar cells that convert light into electricity. They belong to the three main thin-film technologies, alongside CdTe and amorphous silicon. Unlike traditional silicon panels, CIGS are created using a thin layer of copper, indium, gallium, and selenium alloy applied to glass or a flexible substrate. This material allows the use of absorbing layers with a thickness of only 1 µm – up to 100 times thinner than in silicon cells.
Although CIGS currently represent a niche part of the PV market, this technology is still developing, combining the potential for high efficiency with lower thin-film production costs.

In laboratory tests, the efficiency of CIGS panels is sometimes lower than their silicon counterparts. The record laboratory efficiency for a CIGS cell is currently 23.64% - however, in real conditions, CIGS often generates more energy (kWh) from each installed kilowatt-peak (kWp) per year because
it works more efficiently in weak or diffused light (e.g., during cloud cover), is less sensitive to high temperatures, and maintains high productivity at various angles of incidence of light.

CIGS panels have minimal sensitivity to shading and temperature changes - much less than classic panels. Sthey are also designed for durability – much more resistant to microcracks, hail, wind, and snow, and their surface is durable enough to walk on during installation and maintenance.

Ecological alternative
The production of CIGS panels generates 90% less CO₂ emissions, reaching only 6g CO₂ per kilowatt-hour (kWh) produced, compared to 40-60g CO₂/kWh for silicon panels. Moreover, these panels are 98% recyclable, and 63% of the materials used in their production come from recycling, making this technology a leader in sustainable development.
