Research abstract
We propose to fabricate high efficiency CIGS solar cells on lightweight and flexible ceramic substrates using ISET's patented ink-based process. The project has the potential to achieve AM0 solar cell efficiency about 11% and specific power density in the range of 1300 to 1500 watts/kg. The success of this process will have a beneficial impact on both the high altitute airship and terrestrial solar power markets.
