Flisom shows roll-to-roll CIGS at Intersolar
The company, headquartered in Zurich, has spent over a decade developing high-efficiency CIGS thin film solar modules using proprietary roll-to-roll manufacturing technologies.
Flisom's products are based on technology developed by its research partner the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (EMPA). EMPA has achieved a world-record conversion efficiency of 20.4 percent in a flexible CIGS solar cell.
Flisom modules are under 2mm thin, have a uniform, jet black appearance, are described as ultra-light (in some versions under 500g/m2) with a power to weight ratio of up to 20 times more than conventional silicon panels, and are strong, safe and rollable.
Flisom is gearing up for full commercialisation of its product range this year, focusing on new ways of using solar technology for buildings, mobility and transport, and even specialist customised applications, across Europe, United Kingdom and United States.
