British cable Erfu University (Salford University) research team claims to have discovered a thin film solar cell manufacturing new technologies for emerging industries to reduce costs and improve reliability.

Institute for Materials Research by the University led by Professor Arthur Hill's research group, the transformation of a in the glass industry has been widely used, known as magnetron sputtering (magnetron spluttering) material deposition technique used to create copper indium selenide (CIS) and copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) thin-film solar cells.

The team has received an additional year of research Joule Centre funds to continue with the Northwest manufacturer General Vacuum research and development work. Professor Hill explained, copper indium diselenide (CIS) and copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) cheap solar panels based on silicon-based solar cells an attractive alternative because they require fewer manufacturing materials, and has absorbed solar good characteristics and resist radiation.

However, previous complex and expensive manufacturing process of the thin film solar cell is hampered adoption. In order to make the battery in the copper, indium, gallium and selenium correct ratio, requires a very delicate process. Film when manufactured, these proportions may vary, affecting the ability to absorb energy. And magnetron sputtering a material different ratios can be more reliable.

This manufacturing technology has been widely used in the film applied to the glass, using the vacuum method and the magnetic field, in order to ensure that the film material is evenly applied to grass. Professor Hill currently conducted thin film solar panels applied research and development work, although only a laboratory scale, but this manufacturing technology has been widely used glass manufacturers fact appears for thin-film solar cell  http://www.sungoldpower.co.uk/will be relatively easy, and and low cost.
