Only the Photovoltaic (PV) Industry plasters roadmaps or manufacturing costs on exhibition stand signage. The last official centrotherm
CIGS (copper indium gallium diselenide) news was “
Success in the thin film division: centrotherm photovoltaics achieves 13 percent efficiency for mass production”. Tom Cheyney chatted with centrotherm in “
EU PVSEC short takes: Talking CIGS turnkey, eyeballing a Nanosolar panel, and more” at PV-tech.org.

Source claims it is up and running.
After Intersolar North America 2008, the Chip Shots blog by Tom Cheyney at PV-tech.org reported in “Global Solar ready to install modules, flip switch on CIGS solar field within months”:
