Utility companies are doing a great job but one must understand that anticipating the load demand is a critical task. Complexity comes in with the increasing production of electricity from solar energy. Curve shown below represents the load demand curve of electricity in California on 31 March 2012. The blue line in the curve represents the actual load demand in California on ...

CIGS Solar Cells
Posted by Prateek Malhotra |
These are essentially thin film solar cells. So, thin film of CIGS is used as primary absorber. These are essentially called chalcopyrite based solar cells. CuInSe2 ( Copper Indium Selenide ), CuInS2 ( Copper Indium Sulphide ) and CuGaSe2 ( Copper Gallium Selenide ) with band gap of 1 eV, 1.5 eV and 1.7 eV are the major chalcopyrite compounds that are being used for solar cell ...
