Understanding its composition, applications, and challenges is essential for sustainable livestock farming and ecosystem health.
CIGS solar cell
Deutsch: CIGS-Solarzelle / Español: Célula solar CIGS / Português: Célula solar CIGS / Français: Cellule solaire CIGS / Italiano: Cellula solare CIGS
A CIGS solar cell is a type of thin-film photovoltaic (PV) technology that converts sunlight into electricity using a semiconductor layer composed of copper, indium, gallium, and selenium. This technology is recognized for its high efficiency, flexibility, and potential for cost-effective large-scale production compared to traditional silicon-based solar cells.
Repellent
Deutsch: Abwehrmittel / Español: Repelente / Português: Repelente / Français: Répulsif / Italiano: Repellente
Repellent in the environmental context refers to substances or strategies used to deter or discourage unwanted organisms, such as insects, animals, or plants, from specific areas or resources.
