A Swedish university research team believes solar power from so-called CIGS cells could compete in price with electricity produced in conventional power stations in 10 years' time. The Uppsala University team using a module of solar cells made from copper indium gallium selenium (CIGS) has converted sunlight to electricity with a high, 16.6 percent efficiency, the team leader told Reuters on Friday.
