Thin Films and the Systems-Driven Approach

    Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

    Abstract

    A systems-driven approach is used to discern tradeoffs between cost and efficiency improvements for various thin-film module technologies and designs. Prospects for reduced system cost via such strategies are enhanced as balance-of-systems costs decline, and some strategies are identified for greater research focus.
