Unique technologies
for CIGS solar cells
NanoInk Technologies
Our product is nanocomposite ink for creating CIGS solar cells by printing methods. This avoids the use of expensive equipment for the production of CIGS solar cells.
It is enough to use a printer to print a photoactive layer, the remaining stages of production remain the same as in the classical production of CIGS solar cells.

Our developed ink is a nanocomposite powder dispersed in various solvents with additives. The unique recipe of preparation and developed application techniques allow you to apply ink to almost any surface. Both printing technologies (such as dr Blade) and spraying technologies (spay coating) can be used as application techniques.
Apply our technologies to reduce the cost of producing solar cells and simplify the manufacturing process.
the cost of electricity from PV in w/$
Our technologies allow:
easily scale production volumes
consume 4 time less raw materials than CIGS by sputtering
easy start of new product lines due to cheap equipment
reduce energy consumption during production
CIGS advantages
CIGS technology is a thin–film technology for creating solar cells. The thickness of the entire solar battery is 5 microns, which is 20 times less than the thickness of a human hair.
The energy conversion efficiency reaches 23%. The technology makes solar panels flexible and lightweight, which facilitates their use and opens up new opportunities for integrating solar cells into buildings (BIPV) and products (VIPV).
The technology already occupies 12% of the global photovoltaics market and has proven itself in real conditions.
