Miasol technology revolutionizes solar cell manufacturing. Leveraging our deep expertise in the manufacturing of computer hard drives, our proprietary process allows us to create thin-film solar cells at lower cost, higher quality, greater efficiency, and using far more environmentally friendly processes. The result: cheaper, greener, more effective and more efficient cells. Miasole's technology is based on a proprietary vacuum deposition sputtering technology which is used to apply a thin-film of light absorbing semiconductor material composed of copper, indium, gallium and selenium, more commonly known as CIGS. The CIGS material and other thin-film layers are deposited in a continuous process in the vacuum system on stainless steel foil. Miasole's CIGS solar cells offer a direct replacement for conventional silicon based cells, at a fraction of the cost.
