Technical FAQs 4

Is flexible ultra-thin glass the future of photovoltaics?

Alternative flexible substrates such as polyimide (PI) and stainless steel (SS) have demonstrated efficiencies of 22.2 % and 20.56 % , respectively. However, flexible ultra-thin glass (UTG) substrate, an emerging material used in the display and touch panel industry, holds immense promise for the future of photovoltaics.

How efficient are CIGSe solar cells on ultrathin glass substrates?

Demonstrated flexible, Cd‐free Cu (In,Ga)Se₂ solar cells on emerging ultrathin glass substrates. Achieved a record efficiency of 17.81 % for flexible, Cd‐free Cu (In,Ga)Se₂ solar cells on ultrathin glass substrates. Achieved an efficiency of 10.11 % for 60 cm² large-area Cd-free CIGSe cells.

Can flexible ultra-thin glass be used for CIGSe solar cells?

However, flexible ultra-thin glass (UTG) substrate, an emerging material used in the display and touch panel industry, holds immense promise for the future of photovoltaics. UTG offers distinct advantages, making it a more suitable candidate for high-efficiency CIGSe solar cells.
