International Solar Electric Technology

International Solar Electric Technology, or ISET, was a company invested in copper indium gallium selenide photovoltaics. ISET's research
over two decades had been largely funded by grants from the National [Renewable Energy Laboratory]. Members helped found or worked in many of the more well known CIGS companies, such as Nanosolar, Solopower, Showa, and Honda Soltec Despite a lack of venture capital, ISET planned to launch a thin film, produced in a new Chatsworth plant with hundreds of megawatts per year capacity after the pilot plant is proven. The company believed they will be able to at first achieve 10% efficient modules sold for $0.65 per watt, then 15% efficient for $0.50 per watt, and potentially ultimately as low as $0.40 per watt.
