Masdar PV increases efficiency of its thin-film solar modules to 7.4 %
Masdar PV, a manufacturer of large-surface thin-film solar modules, hasimproved the efficiency of its solar modules to 7.4 percent, based onthe semiconductor amorphous silicon (a-Si). The increase of over15 percent was made possible over the past six months by in-houseprocess know-how, as a result of which additional and optimisedproduction steps and improved quality checks have [...]
Miasolé exceeds 14 percent efficiency with commercial-scale CIGS thin film solar modules
MiaSolé, the leading manufacturer of copper indium gallium selenide(CIGS) thin-film photovoltaic solar panels, announced that the USDepartment of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)independently confirmed the 14.3 percent efficiency of its large areaproduction modules (1 square meter in size). The 14.3 percentmodule efficiency is the highest independently confirmed efficiency forany commercial scale CIGS module technology. [...]
Flexible Rooftop PV Modules from Global Solar
Installing racking systems to hold heavy polycrystalline silicon panels on a rooftop might just become obsolete with Global Solar’s PowerFlex BIPV modules. The flexible solar modules can be glued ontothe surface of a roof to generate renewable electricity. The companyclaims that the installed cost of Global Solar modules is about the same as traditional polycrystalline [...]

ROHAGLAS film saves flexible solar modules
Thin-film solar cells are developing into a rapidly growing marketsegment. If their commercial potential is to be fully exploited, thesolar modules must be produced in a roll-to-roll manufacturing process. Evonik Industries has now developed the "missing link" necessary forcontinuous production: a highly transparent and alsoweathering-resistant barrier film based on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) that can replace glass [...]
