Copper indium deselenide solar cells are not that great. The ones that can
do 3.5% efficiency (maybe better by now, I worked around guys that did it in
the mid to late 80s), are expensive,made by evaporation technology, which is
slow, costs dominated by pumpindg expensive vacuum chambers. The cheaper
methods, low tech screen and fire produce lower efficiences.
