Recent Technological Advances in Thin Film Solar Cells

Research output: NREL › Technical Report

Abstract

High-efficiency, low-cost thin film solar cells are an exciting photovoltaic technology option for generating cost-effective electricity in 1995 and beyond. This paper reviews the substantial advances made by several thin film solar cell technologies, namely, amorphous silicon, copper indium diselenide cadmium telluride, and polycrystalline silicon. Recent examples of utility demonstrationprojects of these emerging materials are also discussed.
