MiaSolé manufactures 50 millionth CIGS cell
This highlights the viability of the firm’s distinctive manufacturing process which has enabled the production of low cost, high efficiency, flexible solar cells on a volume scale.
CIGS thin-film photovoltaic solar panel manufacturer MiaSolé has reached a production milestone.
"Manufacturing our 50 millionth cell is a testament to the emphasis we've placed on innovative engineering, and the steps we've taken to ensure that we are able to deliver repeatable, low-cost, high quality panels at scale to our customers," said Rob DeLine, Vice President of Marketing, MiaSolé. "This commitment to reliability is reinforced by a growing number of globally bank-financed solar projects that are using MiaSolé technology."
MiaSolé's engagement with Intel has further accelerated its production ramp, and improved the repeatability required for high-volume manufacturing, resulting in consistently higher output, yield and equipment utilization.
At the heart of MiaSolé's panel is a high-performance flexible cell architecture featuring fault tolerant, low resistance UltraWire technology, allowing the company to move beyond traditional glass-glass products into the rolled-roofing and building-integrated photovoltaic markets. These markets are unavailable to leading crystalline silicon manufacturers.
