Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS)

It's important to understand that "thin-film" refers to a technology, and within that technology, there are different material compositions.

So, rather than "models," it's more accurate to talk about prominent thin-film technologies and manufacturers. Here are three key types and their applications:  

• CIGS technology offers good efficiency and flexibility.   
• These panels can be used in various applications, including building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV).  
   
• There are manufacturers that create flexible CIGS panels, that are used for applications where traditional rigid panels are not useable.
   

Key characteristics of thin-film solar panels:

• They are made by depositing thin layers of photovoltaic materials onto a substrate.   
• They can be more flexible than traditional crystalline silicon panels.  
• They may perform better in diffuse light or high temperatures.
