About the Event:

CIGS MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

Presenter: Lawrence Gasman, Principal Analyst, NanoMarkets

CIGS offers one of the brightest hopes for the future of PV, coming near to crystalline silicon PV in efficiency, but with the flexibility, low cost and light weight associated with a thin-film technology. But CIGS also presents significant materials and manufacturing challenges that will need to be overcome for the market opportunity to be fully realized.

This Webinar offers NanoMarkets' perspectives on the current and future prospects for CIGS photovoltaics. The materials are sourced from NanoMarkets' ongoing industry analysis and insights into the thin-film photovoltaics market and the CIGS sector in particular.

Among the topics and questions that this Webinar will cover:

• CIGS and its competitors: is CIGS the next Cadmium Telluride?

• NanoMarkets views on CIGS panel makers

• Next generation CIGS cell design

• Which manufacturing strategies for CIGS panels promise the best bang for the buck?

• How suitable is CIGS for building-integrated PV?

• Key CIGS R&D trends moving forward?
