Thin-film solar cells are a type of solar cell made by depositing one or more thin layers (thin films or TFs) of photovoltaic material onto a substrate, such as glass, plastic or metal. Thin-film solar cells are typically a few nanometers (nm) to a few microns (μm) thick–much thinner than the wafers used in. .
Early research into thin-film solar cells began in the 1970s. In 1970, team at created the first gallium arsenide (GaAs) solar cells, later winning the. .
Thin-film technologies reduce the amount of active material in a cell. The active layer may be placed on a rigid substrate made from glass, plastic, or. .
With the advances in conventional (c-Si) technology in recent years, and the falling cost of the feedstock,. .
In order to meet international renewable energy goals, the worldwide solar capacity must increase significantly. For example, to keep up with the goal. .
In a typical solar cell, the is used to generate from sunlight. The light-absorbing or "active layer" of the solar cell is typically a material,. .
Despite initially lower efficiencies at the time of their introduction, many thin-film technologies have efficiencies comparable to conventional. .
One of the significant drawbacks of thin-film solar cells as compared to mono crystalline modules is their shorter lifetime, though the extent to which this is an issue varies by material with the more established thin-film materials generally having longer.
