Performance comparison

Here is a summary of the differences between poly/monocrystalline silicon and CIGS cells.

Application comparison

There are a few differences in application between poly/mono­crystalline silicon and CIGS cells.

  • Poly/monocrystalline silicon cells are well-suited for large-scale solar farms and rooftop systems where space is not a constraint.[1]
  • CIGS cells find applications in niche markets such as residential houses/businesses, portable solar chargers[2] and lightweight applications where the form factor and design considerations are crucial.[3]
