Copper indium gallium selenide (CuInxGa(1-x)Se2), a semiconductor absorber material for solar cells
He currently focusses on low-cost methods to develop Thin film solar cells based on electrodeposited CIGS materials,where he has reported efficiencies of 15.9% to date, compared with the highest value of 19.5% reported by NREL 4using more expensive techniques.
Using CIGS makes it very important to have little waste due to how rare some of the materials in it are.
•
Some inkjet solar cells use the material CIGS which has more solar efficiency than the traditional silicon solar panels.

In 1918-9, as an ally of the CIGS Henry Wilson, he served on the Supreme War Council and was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire and a Companion of the Order of the Bath by 1921.
Members helped found or worked in many of the more well known CIGS companies, such as Nanosolar, Solopower, Showa, and Honda Soltec.
