WHAT DOES SELENIUM CELL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

selenium cell

Copper indium gallium selenide solar cells

Copper indium gallium selenide is a direct bandgap semiconductor useful for the manufacture of solar cells. The CIGS absorber is deposited on a glass or plastic backing, along with electrodes on the front and back to collect current. Because the material has a high absorption coefficient and strongly absorbs sunlight, a much thinner film is required than of other semiconductor materials. Devices made with CIGS belong to the thin-film category of photovoltaics. CIGS is one of three mainstream thin-film PV technologies, the other two being cadmium telluride and amorphous silicon. Like these materials, CIGS layers are thin enough to be flexible, allowing them to be deposited on flexible substrates. However, as all of these technologies normally use high-temperature deposition techniques, the best performance normally comes from cells deposited on glass. Even then the performance is marginal compared to modern polysilicon-based panels. Advances in low-temperature deposition of CIGS cells has erased much of this performance difference, even with flexible designs. The market for thin-film PV grew at a 60% annual rate from 2002 to 2007 and is still growing rapidly.
