Stion, San Jose, California, USA, said that the results of the comparison of the performance of the Sandy National Laboratory for many years showed that the performance of its copper indium gallium two selenide (CIGS) technology is better than that of single crystal silicon (c-Si) 6%. The test in the U.S. Department of energy three weather in New Mexico, Florida and Vermont different (DOE) Regional Test Center (RTC) completed.
In the test, the Stion module is expected to exceed 1% of its nameplate power rating.
In Vermont, Sandia observed that the frameless module dropped faster than the adjacent single crystal frame module, and Stion observed the same phenomenon in other snow areas.
Sandy photovoltaic researcher and project director JoshuaStein RTC said: "for the company, know the weather will affect how their products are very important," "RTC high quality data collection and analysis, for U.S. companies such as Stion, provide the information they need to make sure they are good performance in a variety of climate," he added.
