A semiconductor layer measuring just 2 µm is all it takes to capture the sunlight efficiently and convert it into sustainable electrical power. Solar roofs and solar systems with CIS technology deliver comparable performance with a much thinner coating layer than first-generation systems based on crystalline silicon solar technology.

This saves on materials, considerably reduces process steps during the manufacture of the solar cells and leads to particularly efficient harnessing of renewable solar energy. Both the production process and the solar module itself are less complex, which increases durability and significantly reduces the number of possible errors.
