    Recently, Avancis, the world's leading CIGS solar module manufacturing company affiliated to Bengbu Glass Industrial Design and Research Institute, broke the world record
    for encapsulated CIGS thin-film modules with 17.
    9%.
    This conversion efficiency is achieved on cadmium-free CIGS modules with dimensions of 30x30 c㎡ and an aperture area of 622 c㎡, which are certified
    by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE).

    This achievement surpasses the conversion efficiency
    of 16% and 16.
    5% set by previously internationally renowned companies.
    If this technology is successfully used in the production of modules with an area of 1 square meter that Avancis is producing, the output of the modules will reach an impressive 170 watts
    .
    The success of this technology once again demonstrates Avancis' global leadership in CIGS thin-film photovoltaic technology, making its products comparable to polysilicon modules in module efficiency, and because they have the typical application advantages unique to thin-film modules, and are cadmium-free, they have environmental advantages when integrated into building facades and roofs, making them ideal for photovoltaic building-integrated (BIPV) applications
    .

    In 2014, Bengbu Glass Industrial Design and Research Institute successfully reorganized Avancis, a subsidiary of Saint-Gobain, France, and through the integrated innovation model, the technical level of CIGS thin film modules has been continuously improved
    .
    Avancis' achievement of this new world record is inseparable
    from Bengbu Institute's philosophy of pursuing the best performance and quality, the R&D team of the pilot line, and the extensive and continuous R&D work carried out by the technicians of the mass production line.
    Avancis' last certification of the champion module, the 16.
    6% pore size conversion efficiency, was certified
    by NREL in January 2014.
