GSE Solar Power Modules - 12 Watt
CIGS Glass Solar Panels
The GSE Solar Power Module uses high efficiency thin-film Copper Indium Gallium
DiSelenide (CIGS) solar cells encapsulated in advanced polymers. This is the next generation
of solar panels intended for off grid applications needing reliable lower wattage power
designed to last for years.
Product Features:
GSE Solar Panels use Copper Indium Gallium
diSelenide (CIGS) technology:
 High efficiency thin-film technology
 Cell efficiency increases after outdoor
exposure
 Highest daily energy yield per rated watt
 Proven outdoor reliability
 CIGS technology has no light-induced
degradation
 CIGS technology is superior under low
light level conditions
 Operating voltage designed for optimal
charging of lead-acid batteries
Dimensions
Physical Features:
 Lightweight design including frame
 Standard frame for easy installation
 Low iron tempered glass for maximum light
transmission and weather resistance
 Sealed junction box with lead wires for easy
installation in the field
 Highly rated lead wiring to prevent
premature aging of covering and insulation
Performance Warranty:
GSE Solar Power Modules performance warranty
provides:
- 1 year limited warranty on workmanship and materials
- 10 year limited warranty on power output

CIGS cells are self-repairing, say researchers
Researchers at Israel's Weizmann Institute believe they have solved the mystery of why CIGS
(copper indium gallium diselenide) solar cells are so stable and long-lived, even when
subjected to the rigours of extreme radiation in space - they repair themselves. New
Scientist (28 August) reports that David Cahen and his colleagues used intense X-rays to
probe CIGS and CIS (copper indium diselenide), which have similar properties. They found
that some of the chemical bonds can be broken quite easily, freeing copper atoms to wander
through the crystals.
The material repairs itself, Cahen believes, because of the natural tendency of the copper
atoms to distribute themselves evenly and at great speed. They spread into damaged spots
in the crystal, where their presence fixes the problem. Cahen finds it remarkable 'that you
can have a high-quality electronic material with these atoms running around.'
CIGS cells have a higher efficiency than other thin films. Self-repairing cells should last much
longer than other materials, greatly enhancing their use in certain applications, particularly
long-term space applications. At least one simulation suggests they could keep on working
for hundreds of years. Cahen and colleagues' findings are published in Advanced Materials
(vol 11, page 957)
