$SNPW Sun Pacific Power CIGS modules are designed and manufactured to the highest reliability standards. The semiconductors in Stion’s thin-film solar panels are made of Copper, Indium, Gallium, Selenium and Sulfur (a compound commonly abbreviated as CIGS). Traditionally, CIGS-based materials have demonstrated the highest efficiencies of any thin-film technology. However, there are many variations of the technology and performance varies widely based on how the materials are deposited and processed. CIGS semiconductor film is comprised of both metallic and non-metallic elements. Stion employs two separate process steps to form the semiconductor film.

The first is ideally suited for deposition of metallic elements.

The second is ideal to supply and incorporate non-metallic elements in the film.

These two processes enable exceptional large area uniformity.

BIPV - Building-integrated photovoltaics. The solar photovoltaic panel is integrated into the building fabric rather than a 'tack-on' addition and the PV panel replaces conventional building cladding materials but with the added benefit of producing renewable electricity. The key advantage of Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is the marginal additional cost in installation. BIPV is one of the fastest growing segments of the photovoltaic industry.
