CIS photovoltaics: efficient solar energy 

The main feature of CIS technology is its wafer-thin semiconductor layer. The layer thickness of the

CIS solar cells is around one hundredth of that applied to crystalline silicon solar cells. Just 2 µm is all it

takes to capture the sunlight very efficiently and convert it into sustainable electrical power.

CIS, which is synonymous with CIGS, stands for the

constituents copper (Cu), indium (In), gallium (Ga) and selenium (Se).

How CIS/CIGS technology works

CIS or CIGS: both abbreviations stand for high-performance, clean solar technology
with high yields and sustainable environmental benefits.
