First Solar is engaged in the manufacturing and sale of solarmodules with an advanced thinfilm semiconductor technology, and it competes with other solar industry players like SunPower , Suntech Power and Yingli Green Energy.
The target for AQT and most CIGS makers is First Solar, which has become the largest solar company in the world selling its thinfilmmodules made out of cadmium and telluride.
Solar CIS, which stands for copper, indium and selenium, are solar photovoltaic (PV) modules that leverage the latest developments in thin-film technology.
Solyndra, which was founded in 2005, invented a type of cylindrical solar module that was printed with thin-film photovoltaic cells that used little of the then-expensive polysilicon that forms the heart of conventional solarmodules.
