CuGaSe 2 (CGS) thin‐film solar cells were prepared with an in‐line co‐evaporation process and the established buffer combination CdS/i‐ZnO was replaced by ZnS/(Zn,Mg)O. We obtained functional CGS solar cells with a strong gain in the short‐circuit current density as compared to the CdS/i‐ZnO buffer reference cells. The enhanced current density is a result of improved transmission in the wavelength region between 330 nm and 550 nm of the ZnS/(Zn,Mg)O buffer combination as compared to CdS/i‐ZnO.
