MiaSole has announced that the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) independently confirmed the 14.3% efficiency of its large area production modules (1 square meter in size).

14.3% module efficiency is the highest independently confirmed efficiency for any commercial scale CIGS module technology.

"We are pleased that we continue to make progress in the execution of our technology, cost reduction and manufacturing roadmaps," said Dr. Joseph Laia, CEO of MiaSole.

MiaSole now offers bank financeable solar modules with efficiency comparable to polysilicon combined with lower manufacturing costs of thin-film modules.

MiaSole's unique manufacturing process deposits CIGS on a flexible stainless steel substrate and produces all of the layers required for its highly efficient solar cell in a single continuous process. MiaSole is the only thin-film solar company that uses sputtering processes every step of the way for coating the solar modules, thereby reducing manufacturing time and cost of production.

MiaSole shipped 6.5MW in the first half of this year, and will ship 22MW in 2010. The company's products are designed for utilities and independent power producers to use in industrial scale deployments such as large-scale rooftop and ground mount installations.

MIT Researchers Create New Self-Assembling PV Technology That Repairs Itself
Boston MA (SPX) Sep 06, 2010
Plants are good at doing what scientists and engineers have been struggling to do for decades: converting sunlight into stored energy, and doing so reliably day after day, year after year. Now some MIT scientists have succeeded in mimicking a key aspect of that process. One of the problems with harvesting sunlight is that the sun's rays can be highly destructive to many materials. Sunlight ... read more
