Progress in Thin Film Solar Photovoltaic Technologies

Progress in Thin Film Solar Photovoltaic Technologies

Research output: NREL › Technical Report

Abstract

This paper focuses on the rapid recent advances made by thin film solar cell technologies, namely, amorphous silicon, copper indium diselenide, and cadmium telluride. It also indicates the several advantages of thin films. Various consumer products and power applications using thin film solar cells are also discussed. The increasing interest among the utilities for PV system applications is alsoelucidated.
