Building Solar Cells on Flexible Polyimide Substrates
Solar cells based on amorphous Silicon on Polyimide have been reported to have efficiency up to 12.7% and CIGS solar cells on Polyimide substrates with 12.8% efficiency. CIGS consist of a thin layer of Cu (In, Ga) Se2. CIGS solar cells are also stable, lightweight and flexible, and are promising for space applications due to their tolerance against high energy irradiation.
