Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) subsidiary TSMC Solar recently announced on the 31st that its advanced facility in Taichung has successfully developed a CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) module with an area of 1.09 square meters and a remarkable conversion efficiency of 15.1%. This achievement was made using existing manufacturing equipment and materials, showcasing the company’s ability to push technological boundaries without requiring major infrastructure changes. The efficiency level has been independently verified by UL (Underwriters Laboratories) and TUV SUD, marking it as the highest recorded efficiency for a single-piece, large-area thin-film module globally.
According to Zhao Yingcheng, general manager of TSMC Solar, the progress in process development over just one year has been impressive. The module's conversion efficiency now closely matches that of current mainstream silicon-based technologies, highlighting TSMC’s strong technical standards and innovative capabilities. The competitive edge of TSMC’s CIGS technology lies in its ability to improve efficiency, along with superior high-temperature performance and a more cost-effective structure compared to traditional solar solutions.
Stephen McKenery, CEO of global sales at TSMC Solar, noted that customers have responded positively to the continuous improvements in their module performance. He emphasized that TSMC’s CIGS series products still deliver up to 5% more power output in high-temperature environments than standard commercial modules, which has greatly satisfied market demand. This performance advantage positions TSMC well in the evolving renewable energy landscape, especially as the industry seeks more efficient and durable solar solutions.
With this breakthrough, TSMC is not only reinforcing its leadership in semiconductor manufacturing but also expanding its influence into the clean energy sector, demonstrating its versatility and long-term vision in cutting-edge technology.
