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 conventional.

AI Customer ServiceThin film solar cells are favorable because of their minimum material usage and rising efficiencies. The three major thin film solar cell technologies include amorphous silicon (α-Si), copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS), and cadmium telluride (CdTe).
At the present time, thin-film solar-cell research and development involves several materials, such as amorphous silicon (a-Si), polycrystalline thin films consisting of CuInSe2-based alloys and cadmium telluride, thin-film crystalline silicon, and other novel materials and advanced concepts.
Thin-film solar cells (TFSCs), also known as second-generation technologies, are created by applying one or more layers of PV components in a very thin film to a glass, plastic, or metal substrate.
It is safe to assume that thin-film solar cells will play an increasing role in the future PV market. On the other hand, any newcomer to the production scene will, for obvious reasons, have a very hard time in displacing well-established materials and technologies, such as crystalline and amorphous silicon.
This is the dominant technology currently used in most solar PV systems. Most thin-film solar cells are classified as second generation, made using thin layers of well-studied materials like amorphous silicon (a-Si), cadmium telluride (CdTe), copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS), or gallium arsenide (GaAs).
The three most widely commercialized thin film solar cell technologies are CIGS, a-Si, and CdTe. The straight bandgap (Table 1) is a property shared by all three of these materials, and it is this property that allows for the use of extremely thin materials .
