    Recently, China National Building Materials Group announced that its 300mm ×300mm CIGS small thin-film solar cells developed in its Munich R&D center have a new photoelectric conversion rate of 17.
    9%.

    This technology can be quickly converted into 1 square meter standard size module with a power of 170 Wp
    .

    As a thin-film solar technology developer, Avancis' copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) thin-film solar cells and cadmium telluride (CdTe) technologies have been continuously developed
    .
    Avancis' PV modules with a daylighting area of 622cm2 reach an efficiency of 17.
    9%.

    The technology is a record-breaking improvement over the 16.
    5% efficiency previously set by Taiwanese semiconductor giant TSMC, and also surpasses the 16% conversion rate
    of Manz, another German high-tech equipment manufacturer.

    The record-breaking module will be produced at the Torgau plant in Germany, mainly by reducing the cell width, optimizing the ZnO layer, aluminum frontal contact and improving laser ablation to reduce the dead zone
    of CIGS cells.
    This CIGS module is suitable for space-constrained applications, such as roofing, where crystalline silicon technology has previously been dominated
    .
    The technology is certified
    by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE).
