Luxembourg Institute developed a conversion rate of 12% of the CIGS solar cells

Luxembourg Institute of the University developed a solar cell conversion efficiency of 12% of the CIGS (Cu, In, Ga, Se)-based solar cell modules. The Institute is located in Luxembourg at the University of TDK's industry-university co-operative research projects "TDK Europe Professorship" under the framework in April 2007 established. Mainly engaged in the new solar cell materials and manufacturing process development.

In order to enhance solar cell conversion efficiency of the Institute, developed a thin-film solar cell absorption layers and isolation layers. The future will be located at the Institute in Berlin, Germany, Helmholtz-Zentrum Munchen layer to develop the use of these solar cells.

In addition, the Institute has also successfully developed a non-high In the solar cell. Manufacturing methods can be used in the plating method to reduce costs. Conversion efficiency of 3.2%. According to the Institute of solar cells that use the same kinds of material conversion efficiency of solar cells is the world record of 3.4 percent.
