This article reviews the current status of CIGS thin-film solar cells, the introduction of the high-temperature resistant PI film, and focuses on the recent progress on the high temperature resistance and low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) modification of PI film.
We know the PV modules are usually tested under standard conditions (i.e., standard test conditions (STC) are 1000 W/m 2, AM1.5, 298.15 K), but the actual operating temperature is much higher and there are uncertainties . As one of the core components of PV modules, solar panel performance is strongly influenced by its temperature.

As one of the core components of PV modules, solar panel performance is strongly influenced by its temperature. Moreover, different types of SCs respond differently to temperature. And the temperature coefficient of SCs is also affected by different factors. Compared to c-Si, thin-film SCs are less temperature-sensitive [34, 35].
