Solibro, the German subsidiary of Q-Cells SE, once again broke the record and successfully increased the conversion efficiency of thin-film solar panels to 17.4%. This record has been confirmed by Fraunhofer ISE, an independent research institute in Germany. The test assembly has a size of 16 cm2 and is welded. In addition, this welding technology can be put into an economical mass production process. The co-evaporation process of the copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) battery has the same metal flux, temperature, and time as the current Solibro production conditions. Lars Stolt, Solibro's technical director, said that the results show that Solibr is currently in the field of CIGS technology, and also verified that the company's Q.SMART component's aperture efficiency will rise to 16.7% in 2016. . As early as March 2011, Q.SMART thin-film modules broke the world record with an efficiency of 14.7%, and today it is still in the leading position in the field of monolithically integrated CIGS thin-film module products. Q. The SMART Series CIGS technology maximizes the film's unique "light soaking" effect and produces an average 2.5% higher power boost than the standard test rated power. Q. SMART solar cells perform well in a variety of environments and are ideal for building residential, commercial, and public facilities. In October 2011, Q-Cells sold 200,000 Q.SMARTCIGS thin-film solar modules to GP Joule Solar. The CIGS technology was successfully developed by Angstrom Solar Center of Uppsala University in Switzerland in 1983 and submitted to Solibro Solar for commercial application in 2006. In 2009, Q-Cells Solar acquired the technology and later successfully developed Q. .SMART solar modules with a total production capacity of 135 MW. This is the fifth time that Q-Cells has broken the world record in 2011, consolidating the company’s technological leadership. In July 2011, the company's polysilicon solar cell module efficiency reached 18.1%, breaking its 17.8% record set in the spring. In April 2011, the company developed a Q.ANTUM solar cell with an efficiency of 19.5% and became a leader in polysilicon solar cells. (Translation: Erin)
