I think you also got the CIGS conversion efficiency wrong. Global Solar seems to be the leader with an efficiency of about 10%. - news.cnet.com/CIGS-cel...

There's a discount between the cell efficiency and the module efficiency but it wouldn't go all the way down to 6%. Currently, Global seems to be getting the bugs out of their process and if you look back at the history of First Solar you'll see they too had to get the bugs out of their process over many years. From my perspective it seems like an interesting technology to watch because CIGS should have more potential for improving efficiency than CdTe based upon the highest efficiencies achieved in laboratory settings.
