Abstract:
Over the recent years CuInS2 has emerged as a promising absorber material for thin film photovoltaic modules. A pilot production line for full size (120 x 60 ?cm^2) modules is currently being established. CuInS_2 preparation, material properties, and cell structure are in many aspects comparable to those of the more widely researched selenium-containing chalcopyrite absorbers but there are also unique features of this material. In this contribution we give an overview of the historical development, current status, and near to mid-term future of CuInS_2-based devices.
