InterPhases' CIS PV deviates from the current PV technology path with a unique device configuration and an extremely low-cost manufacturing process technology to achieve near-term grid parity. It is designed to simultaneously meet the challenges of high efficiency, reliability, low manufacturing cost and versatile applications. 

The unique device configuration with highly compatible, non-toxic components considerably reduces manufacturing complexity and costs. 

Featuring a flexible, lightweight solar cell

For high volume production

An extremely inexpensive solution-based deposition process leads to drastic cost reduction. The process is amenable to high-throughput reel-to-reel manufacturing under ambient conditions. PV modules of variable shapes, sizes and electrical outputs can be produced in a continuous automated assembly line.

The approach allows simpler scale-up through replication of the module assembly line to achieve GW capacities. The modules can be cost-competitive even at low efficiencies and small production volumes — a unique attribute that allows InterPhases CIS PV to compete with more advanced PV technologies. 

“[InterPhases' solar cell] combines an extremely promising approach to simpler thin film processing with moderately high efficiency — potentially the optimum path to low PV cost in the short-to-mid-term.”  ….. Xcel Energy

Made with inexpensive but highly efficient PV materials, the CIS PV technology can lead to a high performance device with lowest fabrication cost.
