only small ones like 130-200w usually marketed under "flexible"Are the CGIS panels still available?
Thanks,
Steve
But there are few startups working on larger ones:
CIGS cells could hit efficiencies of 33%, say Germany scientists
Researchers have gradually improved the efficiency of CIGS thin-film tech in recent years. But scientists in Germany say the 23% rate achieved thus far is not the end of the story.

My CGIS panels are glass like regular panels - flexible panels deteriorate rather quickly.
Since we are guessing about 2023 - I hope that CGIS is making a comeback with large panels. Since that stuff is printed on glass directly - you can make any size panel. Further it's something which you can manufacturer in almost every country - the raw materials are different from the silicon waiver supply chain.
