2. Thin-film solar cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin-film_solar_cell

   Thin-film solar cells, a second generation of photovoltaic (PV) solar cells: Top: thin-film silicon laminates being installed onto a roof. Middle: CIGS solar cell on a flexible plastic backing and rigid CdTe panels mounted on a supporting structure Bottom: thin-film laminates on rooftops Thin-film solar cells are a type of solar cell made by depositing one or more thin layers (thin films or ...

3. Cadmium telluride photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadmium_telluride...

   Cross-section of a CdTe thin film solar cell. The dominant PV technology has always been based on crystalline silicon wafers. Thin films and concentrators were early attempts to lower costs. Thin films are based on using thinner semiconductor layers to absorb and convert sunlight. Concentrators lower the number of panels by using lenses or ...

4. Copper indium gallium selenide solar cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_indium_gallium...

   A copper indium gallium selenide solar cell (or CIGS cell, sometimes CI(G)S or CIS cell) is a thin-film solar cell used to convert sunlight into electric power. It is manufactured by depositing a thin layer of copper indium gallium selenide solid solution on glass or plastic backing, along with electrodes on the front and back to collect current.

   A coating 100 times thinner than a human hair can harness the sun’s energy and be applied to everyday objects, in a development that could reduce the world’s need for solar farms.

6. Solar cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cell

   Individual solar cell devices are often the electrical building blocks of photovoltaic modules, known colloquially as "solar panels". Almost all commercial PV cells consist of crystalline silicon, with a market share of 95%. Cadmium telluride thin-film solar cells account for the remainder. [2]

7. Copper indium gallium selenide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_indium_gallium_selenide

   It is best known as the material for CIGS solar cells a thin-film technology used in the photovoltaic industry. [2] In this role, CIGS has the advantage of being able to be deposited on flexible substrate materials, producing highly flexible, lightweight solar panels. Improvements in efficiency have made CIGS an established technology among ...
