This could just be due to the better temperature coefficient, or maybe they do slightly better than cSi at lower irradiance levels?

Solar Frontier CIS: -0.31%/degC
SolarWorld poly: -0.45%/degC

I don't know enough about CIS to comment on the light soaking.

Aloha,

Solar Frontier in Japan, the maker of copper-indium-selenium (CIS) mods,
claims that their product produces more kWhs per kW installed than
crystalline silicon.

http://www.solar-frontier.com/eng/cis/index.html  If you go to the
Softbank Field Results on the right tabs area you can download a 4-page
PDF report.

I’m wondering if this is a hot-out-of-the-box phenomenon similar to some
other non-cSi products and that after X months in the field the output
stabilizes at a lower level.

Anyone have any idea or experience with this?

Thanks,

marco
