Applications
CIGS raw cell strings are used in DIY solar projects, custom panel fabrication, and research applications where flexibility and thin-profile form factor are required. This string supports prototype development and integration into custom enclosure systems. Compatible with standard conductive pressure-sensitive tape termination methods.
This Solopower SP1 CIGS raw solar cell string is new and unused — it was never sold or installed. These strings were staged for panel production at the Solopower Portland factory and were left as work in progress when Solopower closed and liquidated in 2019. They have been tested and confirmed to produce power. The string is unencapsulated and has no frame or junction box. Cosmetically the cells appear clean and in good shape with no visible damage to the CIGS layer or the stainless steel substrate. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
