Nanosolar SoloPower Flexible CIGS Solar Cell Sample Pack 4 Cells DIY
This sample pack includes one each of four different flexible CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) thin-film solar cells from Nanosolar and SoloPower — two manufacturers known for lightweight, flexible photovoltaic technology. It is an ideal way to evaluate and compare cell types before committing to larger quantities for a DIY solar project or prototype build.

Applications
CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) thin-film solar cells are a class of flexible photovoltaic technology developed as a lightweight, bendable alternative to rigid crystalline silicon panels. Nanosolar and SoloPower were among the pioneering U.S. manufacturers of roll-to-roll printed CIGS cells in the late 2000s and early 2010s, producing cells on flexible metal foil substrates capable of being integrated into curved surfaces, backpacks, portable chargers, unmanned aerial vehicles, and building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) applications. These cells are well suited to DIY solar projects, experimental wiring configurations, educational demonstrations, and small-scale power generation prototypes where flexibility and low mass are priorities. Hobbyists and engineers commonly use sample packs like this to test cell output characteristics, experiment with series/parallel wiring, and determine which cell format best fits their application before purchasing in larger quantities.
This Nanosolar SoloPower Flexible CIGS Solar Cell Sample Pack is new and unused. Each of the four cells is in new condition — no wear, handling marks, or damage. The cells are shown from both the active face and the reverse substrate side in our photos. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
