Green Energy CIGS 310-75, Green Energy CIGS 310-150 - CIGS 310-150
Technical purpose of product or process The CIGS solar modules convert the energy of light into electricity by the photovoltaic (PV) effect. The photovoltaic modules are flexible and vibration resistant CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) photovoltaics that can be adhered directly to buildings and vehicles. Thin-film CIGS PV modules offer a seamless integration of solar technology with e.g. roofing, appealing to residential, commercial, and industrial markets seeking efficient, durable and aesthetic renewable energy solutions. The CIGS PV modules are bonded to the surface using an adhesive, and therefore the modules are classified as Building Applied Photovoltaics (BAPV).
General comment on data set Fleksible CIGS-solpaneler (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide), som er modstandsdygtige over for vibrationer og stød, er en effektiv løsning til både tage og køretøjer. Med deres klæbende bagside kan disse paneler nemt integreres direkte på tage og sikrer problemfri integration af solenergi. De er velegnede til boliger, erhverv og industri og tilbyder en effektiv, holdbar og æstetisk vedvarende energiløsning.

Technology description including background system The thin-film CIGS photovoltaic modules CIGS 310 – 75 and CIGS 310 – 150 with mounting adhesive are assessed in this EPD. The thin-film CIGS photovoltaic modules are produced by Green Energy Group Aps. Product properties and datasheet is available here: Green Energy Group. CIGS 310-75 and CIGS 310-150 are covered by harmonised technical specification EN61730-1:2018, EN61215-1:2021 and EN61215-1-4:2021 and fulfil their requirements. Further technical information can be obtained by contacting Green Energy Group ApS or on their website. Foreground system: The cell is produced using energy with 90% coverage by photovoltaic modules in China, the remaining 10% is modelled with a site-specific supply mix. The energy consumption for the assembly of the solar panel is modelled using supply mix in China. Green Energy Group Aps’ facilities are covered by GOs. Background system: The Ecoinvent 3.10 database is used for all background data. Therefore, both upstream and downstream processes are modelled as an average electricity supply mix for a given country or region, depending on the specific dataset.
