Abstract
Photovoltaic devices based on several polycrystalline thin-film materials have reached near and above 10% sunlight-to-electricity conversion efficiencies. This paper examines the various polycrystalline thin-film PV materials including CuInSe2 and CdTe in terms of their material properties, fabrication techniques, problems, and potentials.
