Single junction microcrystalline-silicon solar cells are stable under elevated light-soaking conditions. For example, amorphous silicon solar cells degrade over 50% under sodium light of 6-sun intensity, while nc-Si:H cells remains completely stable even under 10 suns.

The used CIS thin film (cells) technology advantages are good low-light behaviour, high shadow tolerance, high-temperature stability and light soaking effect (Solar Frontier 2021). It can generate electricity not only in sunny weather but also in diffused light (Raf 2021). The nominal conversion efficiency of the modules id equal to 11% for CIS, which is a typical value (Raugei, Bargigli, and Ulgiati 2007).
