Thin-Film Solar Cells: An Overview

Thin-Film Solar Cells: An Overview

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper

Abstract

Thin-film solar cells offer the most promising options for substantially reducing the cost of photovoltaic systems. A multiplicity of options, in terms of materials and devices, are currently being developed worldwide. Some of the leading contenders are: amorphous and polycrystalline silicon, compound semiconductor thin films such as CuInSe2-based alloys, and CdTe thin-film solar cells. Enormousprogress in device performance has been made in most of these technologies, and considerable effort is devoted to commercialization of these technologies. Exciting new developments are happening in some relatively new materials and devices.
